BETTER BEGINNINGS FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES
Better Beginnings has a number of ongoing
fundraising activities, all necessary and geared to helping us keep our
doors open and our high quality services available to those we serve:
Penny Drive II
The goal of Penny Drive II is to
collect one million pennies ($10,000) to help maintain the services of
the center. Friends and other contributors have donated their stashes of
pennies that they have been saving over the years in shoe boxes, banks,
bottles, cans, socks, etc. Collection Cans have been placed in many business
and other locations in our immediate area. Many volunteers have organized
collection drives and bring the proceeds to the center. The children of
Better Beginnings have a delightful time and a great learning experience
counting the pennies. The Windsor-Hights newspaper is carrying a weekly
update on the progress of the Penny Drive.
Mayors' Charity Ball
The annual Mayor's Charity Ball will be
held on October 21, 2000 at the Ramada Inn on Monmouth Street
in East Windsor. Please join us for dinner, dancing, and a
good time. We are looking for corporate sponsors, advertisers, and
individual ticket buyers. The winners of our SHINING STAR awards
for community service by individuals, corporations, and organizations will
be announced shortly. More information to follow.
