Good News!

All of our events so far this year have been a huge success! Thank you to everyone (yes we mean you) you helped us along the way. Remember all the money we raise stays right here in Washington County!
Our "Charity of the Month" experience with 94.1 The Planet went very well. We got our name out there and raised $200 at our Chili's give back day. It was very fun (and yummy) and we hope to do it again next year.
The IRONMAN was absolutely the most fun we have had!!!! The people were great, the atmosphere was fun, and it was just great to be apart of. We will most definitely do it again next year. And to top off all that fun, the IRONMAN Foundation was gracious enough to give our charity $750 for participating.
We also made mothers day baskets for the women at the D.O.V.E. Center. They are a safe haven to women who suffer from Domestic Violence. We wanted to make their hearts smile, and I think we succeeded. We filled the baskets with Avon products (donated by local reps, they are AWESOME), slippers, and a nice necklace and earring set (also donated by a local rep). We were told the baskets were a huge hit, and hope to continue this next year.
At the end of May we hosted the Dunk tank at Washington City's Cotton Days Festival. Washington City's Mayor Neilson, Councilman Turek, and Councilman Hudson were all kind enough to put themselves on the line for a good cause. We had a great time and will be back next year with a giant tank full of water, hoping to get everyone cooled off.
As you can see it has been Quite a year already, and it is only July. We would like to thank EVERYBODY who made this year such a success, it is great to get our name out there and be able to help so many.
If you know of anybody who we might be able to help or have ideas for fundraisers please email us at washfirerelief@yahoo.com.

Charity of the Month

This February we have been fortunate enough to be chosen as the Planet 94.1 "Charity of the Month." http://www.planet941.com/ This is such an exciting thing for us since it will get our name out to so many.

As part of the "Charity of the Month" experience, there will be a day at Chili's that you can eat and 10% of your bill will be donated to us. This will take place on Tuesday Feb 23 from 11am-11pm and includes dine-in or carry-out. All you have to do is tell you server that you want to help out the charity. You have to eat that day anyway, why not eat at Chilli's and help out the community. http://www.chilis.com/

As always, we hope to help as many people in the community that our funds allow. In May we will be hosting the dunk tank at the Washington City Cotton Days celebration and we are hoping to get together another yard sale for later in the year. All proceeds from all of our events will go directly back into the community.

If you are interested in donating, you can send donations to the address above or use the "donate" button on the right to donate thru Paypal. All contributions are tax deductible.
Below is our acceptance letter as a 501 (c) (3) charity.
