CASA Rainy Days Fund
Donation protected
CASA/GAL of Findlay and Hancock County serves our community's children who are in need of protection as they move through the legal system.
They had ONE fundraiser planned this year. They operate the Kid's Fair during the Flag City BalloonFest - offering jump houses, rocking climbing walls and other attractions for families that have been a HUGE part of the festivities for years.
This year it rained.
And it rained.
They had paid for banners, ads, 275 volunteer t-shirts and mailings to the community. They set up the attractions and tried to MUDdle through Friday and the first part of Saturday. They were ready for 1,000s of children to come and play. Eventually the long-awaited rain drove them to close down their only chance at adding funds to their budget in 2016.
Our community needed the rain. This event just got got caught between the raindrops!
So, we are taking a positive approach!
Did you celebrate the rain when it finally arrived to our very arid region on Northwest Ohio?
• Are you a farmer who needed rain for your crops? Celebrate by donating!
• Are you a gardener who is tired of hauling buckets to the zucchini or prized rose? Celebrate by donating!
• Are you a lawncare company who needed the rain to keep your employees busy? Celebrate by donating!
• Are you just happy to sit and listen to the rain on your roof? Celebrate by donating!
• Are you a runner who loves to jog in these rainy days? Celebrate by donating!
• Are you a parent, grandparent or guardian who would have spent A LOT of money at BalloonFest? Celebrate by donating (a little)!
This is our chance to help an integral part of our Findlay community maintain their level of care for our children in need. They normally net $10-12,000.00 at this event. And this has been a necessary part of their operating budget for years. Let's keep them operating at full steam for the rest of 2016!
