The giving folks here outdid themselves this year! 60 bikes, with helmets, mountains of toys, and $1600 from gift basket raffle tickets!

If there is a way to have fun, the folks here will find it! After an early morning Build-A-Bike event (see the pictures below) we had to celebrate! Cost to party? A toy! The baskets were created by groups in the park, i.e., states, groups of states, and provinces and they were raffled off to the party-goers. And then we DANCED! What better way to kick off the winter holiday season! The New major from the Salvation Army arrived with a BIG truck during the festivities and we to a break from that STRENUOUS raffling to march the bikes out to the truck and pack up the toys to go along with. The final step was the presentation of a nice check (from several fundraisers during last season and the ongoing aluminum can collection) to the major. She left happy and more able to make Christmas a happier occasion for many children.

2017 Build-A-Bike
We are THE Park with a Heart! 56 bikes with helmets, loads of toys and a monetary donation to help the less fortunate of Charlotte County via the Salvation Army. It was actually an all-day affair as residents met at 7:00 AM to assemble the bikes!

2016 is a WONDERFUL year!
People at our park REALLY do care! 57 bikes with helmets, loads of toys and a monetary donation to help the less fortunate of Charlotte County via the Salvation Army came together at the party Saturday night. It was actually an all-day affair as residents met at 7:00 AM to assemble the bikes! The toys came as the cost to attend the really fun party/dance and the baskets were created by groups in the park, i.e., states, groups of states, and provinces! |
