Those of you who were with us in West Virginia this summer know we had quite a few little fundraisers going on during the program. Now that the summer is wrapped wanted to share with you how they all went. In total from these activities, $641 was raised for the PVs. We find this quite incredible! Some highlights from these fundraisers:

A handmade stained glass was donated to the PVs to put up for silent auction throughout the summer. The final and winning bid was $151! Congratulations Bernice on your new stained glass!

A new campaign called “Change for Change,” asking volunteers to drop any pocket change they had into a bucket, was also very successful. When all the pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters (and even a dollar coin) were counted at the end of the summer, just over $125 was raised. Not bad for a little pocket change!

The last two weeks of the program we also did a split the pot raffle. Both winners generously donated their halves back to the program, so that the program made $150 from the two raffles. Thank you Chuck and Michele!

We also were able to raffle off a handmade afghan made by Lucy, sell previous summers t-shirts, as well as cookbooks and 35 years books.  All in we were very pleased with all the donations. Thank you to all who contributed either an item or by donation.

Now that the summer program has finished, and we have caught up on some much needed rest, we will be catching you up with several blog posts over the next few days.

The first thing to check out, I just posted pictures from three different Live with Passion events to the LWP blog. If you get a chance take a look at the pictures from the Reading, PA, Clark, NJ and Brooklyn, NY events, and all the cities if you haven’t already. It always amazes me the amount of people involved in this fundraiser throughout the country.

 This year we ended up raising $14,250!! Thank you all for the support. we couldn’t do it without you!
