ROYALS 50/50 FRIDAY VOLUNTEERS
HIT A GRAND SLAM!!
Enduring extreme heat (on September 2nd) and braving the cold (on September 16th), 65 enthusiastic JCCB volunteers donned Santa hats and sold raffle tickets at each of the Friday night Royals games.
JCCB was honored to be selected as one of six 50/50 Royals Charities for 2011.
Our enthusiastic volunteers showed up in full force and sold a total of $16,627 in raffle tickets!! JCCB will be the beneficiary of 25% of the total or $4,157- finishing second among the charities- outstanding for end of season games.
The Royals staff were duly impressed and commented positively about the large turnout, the passion of our volunteers and, of course, our lovely Santa hats - go Royals/JCCB team!!!
This was an outstanding opportunity to build awareness for JCCB and provide greatly needed funds to support our neighbors in need at the 2011 Holiday Shop.
