I had the pleasure of watching a group of very busy individuals come together to make a successful fund raising event for the Ada Regional United Way 2010 campaign.
Representatives from most of the agencies to be receiving funding from the funds that from the 2010 Campaign volunteered to cook, chop onions, set up, clean up, etc.
Charles Barrick volunteered his time to auction off desserts that were donated to a dessert auction.
The turn out was not quiet at large as last year, most likely due to a logistics scheduling issue, but we still took in almost $800. The chili was purchased by all the agencies donating to purchase allowing all proceeds to be applied to the current campaign goal.
I want to say thank you to each and every person who volunteered, who donated food and who took time out to come by and eat a bowl of chili with us.
Ada is a great place and has once again pulled together in a small way to make a big difference - if only $800. Because without this event, volunteers and participants, we would not have this $800 to add to the goal.
Left over food was donated to Family Crisis Center, SOAR (Southern Oklahoma Addition Recovery) Men's program and Ada Area Youth Shelter.
Nothing ever "goes to waste" in the non-profit "world". Even though the turn out was low, this was an extremely successful in that we raised $800 dollars and helped out several agencies as well.
