I feel like this is such a late start but I have to say we are well on our way to make the 2021 PLYC Long Island Toy Lending Center for Children with Disabilities (LITLC) fund raiser set for JULY 17th at the Buoy Bar a great success!!

For those of you who are new to this event, the LITLC is a 501c3 organization dedicated to helping children with disabilities and their families. I attached a “What is LITLC” information sheet about the organization. PLYC has held this annual fundraising event at the Buoy Bar for many years. Members of PLYC who have boats dress them up with their flags and sail up and down Reynolds Channel in front of the Buoy Bar to the delight of the spectators on land. Raffle baskets are set up for display and perusing, enticing attendees to take a chance or two or twenty in hopes of making their “dream basket” theirs at the end of the day when the winning tickets are pulled for each prize.

Attached you will find the letter to give vendor asking for donations to help create our famous, fabulous baskets! For those of you new to this fundraiser we gather donations from restaurants, hair/nail salons, spas, and any other type of item you can think of (new items only) to create wonderful baskets for the day of the event. You are more than welcome to create a basket of your own to donate. Members get together the Wednesday evening before the event pairing items received into amazing “theme” baskets. The basket making evening will be Wednesday, July 14th at the Toy Lending Center in East Marina. All are welcome to help. All donations are due by that evening the latest. No baskets will be made the day of the event. 

We have one grand prize raffle that we have tickets printed and sell from now up to and including the day of the event. This year Tom Harsh has once again secured a Dometic CFX3 55IM Cooler valued at $1,100 for our grand prize. Thank you so much, Tom!!!  Commodore Kat has ticket books for selling available at the marina. If she does not reach out to you, please, please reach out to her at Xenos 10@msn.com. We have 2000 tickets that need to be sold!!

In addition to the Dometic cooler the following items will be available for raffling the day of the event:
