Fundraising Results
Our March Bingo session was another huge success! We had just shy of 100 bingo cards sold and raised just under $1000!!
Thank you to Intrinsic Health Source for sponsoring the event!
Meanwhile Super Bowl Sunday brought in a good
amount of "dough" with a successful Philly Pretzel and Popcorn sale. We raised just under $1600 worth of salty and sweet treats! We're "knot" kidding!
We have a legen-dairy fundraiser in the works. That's right...We are bringing you a "Cow Plop" event just like the original build team did! Be on the look out for information as we nail down the final details with Guardians Farm in Southbury. "Manure" in for a fun event!
