Spikes Fundraiser 2010
Smart Start-Centre County participated in the United Way Partner Series at the Spikes for the game on Wednesday, July 28.
Board and PCC members helped to sell about 150 tickets to the game, raising about $50 for Smart Start, which supplemented the money from our silent auction at the game for a total of about $350 raised. Several Board and PCC members bought tickets to donate to Cen-Clear Child Services' families to attend the game.
Board members, PCC members, staff, and our summer intern, Emily Woodard, were able to solicit donations from sixteen local businesses and individuals for our Silent Auction, which was started on-line the day before the game. Smart Start's new logo t-shirts were also sold publicly for the first time at the game, with women's vee-neck, men's crew, and youth sized shirts available.
Derek Becker, age 10, was excited and nervous to 'throw out the first pitch' representing Smart Start. He was escorted by Board member Joseph Webber. Derek was proud that his pitch made it to the catcher!
