PLYC Toy Lending Fundraiser Success!
PLYC held another successful LI Toy Lending Center for Children with Disabilities fundraiser!!!
The event netted $6,500. Not too shabby!!
The baskets were plentiful and beautiful! The super prizes were grand! The Grand Prize Atlantis Bahamas trip was a spectacular grand prize!!
There are so many different spokes in the wheel to getting this event up off the ground and running. Thank you to all who solicited and / or donated items for the baskets. Our basket making evening went smoothly, a few hands go a long way!!! Thank you basket-makers!!! It is always fun to see how random things make such beautiful baskets.
I want to thank everyone who came down to work the event. Some worked the morning to get setup, some worked the hours of the event, and a special shout out to those who stayed the whole time from setup to take down!!! The event would not have been successful without your hard work.
So, a final THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! PLYC always comes through.
Have a great weekend,
Jan
TLC
Morning,
Hope everyone is well. Glad to hear and see on social media boats coming home.
TLC has been on my mind figuring this is not the year it is going to be fundraising as normal! I have no idea how the Go Fund Me works but it may be a viable option. There are fund raisers for everything!!! Everyone has their social media pages to promote the page. We could ask Buoy Bar to post it on their social media page. It may not raise the big bucks but we may be pleasantly surprised as to how much we can raise.
Does anyone have experience with the site? What do you think?
Happy boating. Stay safe.
