Happy Fall! In just a few short weeks, the 2nd Annual Great Chappaqua Bake Sale will take place to support Share Our Strength's mission of ending the national childhood hunger crisis. On Saturday, October 1, our community will come together again to prove that a small town can make a big difference in this fight. So many of you generously donated your time and energy last year and we are writing to encourage you to once again be a part of this worthwhile event.
As many of you know, last year we raised nearly $6,000 and were named one of Share Our Strength's Top Ten national fundraising teams. This year, our goal is to raise $10,000. Every dollar counts - in fact just $1 can feed a child ten healthy meals. As part of our effort, we have worked tirelessly for months contacting local businesses and vendors to be a part of our expanded and greatly improved Great Chappaqua Bake Sale Raffle. The response has been amazing with more than $15,000 worth of coveted goods and services donated by your favorite local businesses! We have packages for every member of your family - gym memberships; birthday parties; music, ballet and gym classes for kids; Yankee, Mets and Broadway show tickets; free weeks at premier local day camps; shopping parties and pampering packages; in-home cooking lessons and so much more!
Get a jump start on a chance to win these incredible prize packages by going to our web site to pre-purchase raffle tickets or to make a donation to our fundraising effort at http://join.strength.org/site/TR/CEM/General?team_id=109971&pg=team&fr_id=1120 . Raffle tickets are $20 each or 6 for$100.
Please forward this email to friends, family and neighbors who will help support this cause. Email us at thegreatchappaquabakesale@yahoo.com to donate baked goods for the event or to get involved. We hope you will stop by the bake sale on October 1 from 8:30 am - 1:30 pm (at 1 South Greeley Avenue in between Chappaqua Framing and Tiffany Gold Nail) and join us in our effort to change the lives of these children. Every donation will feed a hungry child so that they may learn, grow and thrive. The reward is immeasurable.
Thank you in advance for your support.
