Greetings Parrot Heads …
I am happy to announce that the final totals are in from our fundraising efforts at the PHoPS Christmas Party on December 13th at the Burien Elks Lodge.
In total, our silent auction raised $860, the 50/50 raffle brought in $761 (which includes a $250 kickback from the winner Missy Wheat), and the “Heads or Tails” game another $383 (which includes a $100 kickback from the winner Scott Radford), for a total of $2,004. As we have been doing for the past couple of years with our fundraising efforts, PHoPS will be adding $500 in matching funds.
In addition, we collected 102 unwrapped toys, 2 bicycles, and $475 in gift cards for the Forgotten Children’s Fund!!
We will be presenting the Elks Children’s Therapy Program with a check for $2,504 at the Burien Elks Lodge Meeting this evening. I would like to thank everyone who attended the Christmas party, participated in the fundraising efforts, or brought gifts for the kids!! I also thank everyone who volunteered to help at the event and those who donated to the silent auction. We couldn’t “Party with a Purpose” without you.
Cheers,
Phil Pompeo
PHoPS President
