Cash for Candy
On November 2, 2009 from 3 to 5:30 we will hosting our first annual event called Cash for Candy. Children can bring in all their leftover, unopened Halloween Candy and we will give away 1 dollar for every 1 pound of candy you bring in. Not only will you receive $1 for every pound but we will also be raffling off awesome prizes. You can even get one more use out of your Halloween costume and come dressed up! Once we have gathered all the candy we will be shipping it to our troops overseas through a program called Operation Gratitude. We will even have a table set up where you can write a message to our service men and women to thank them for all they do.
We will also raffling off some great prizes including, Family Passes to Jungle Joes, Free Breakfast meal coupons at Scooter D's in Parchment, fun coupons to Airway Lanes, massage gift certificates from Natural Solutions in Richland, and many more.
We look forward to seeing you at Our Cash for Candy event. Its a great way to fill your piggy bank, reach out to our troops and see our community come together for a good cause!
