This from an email I just received from CAAR:
REALTOR® Beth Powell and her husband Tom (Mr. Toy Lift) Powell have an urgent need for the community’s assistance. This week, three major sponsors backed out of their support (I certainly hope they have good reason! -jd) for the annual Toy Lift Project (no longer available). That means that this wonderful community charity will be short about $15,000 that was going to be used to buy 300 bicycles for needy children in our community. They have a special agreement with WalMart each year to purchase these bikes at a greatly reduced price, but now, they are significantly short of funds.
If you can help, please make a tax deductible donation to Kid’s Lift Foundation. You can drop off your check to the foundation at CAAR, to Tom Powell at Quick Lane behind Colonial Auto Center or Beth at Frank Hardy Inc. If you have questions, please call Beth Powell at 434-817-0631 or 434-975-TOYS.
Please help.
