The 112th annual Cheer Certificate campaign is winding down, but organizers are still accepting the community’s help to reach its $20,000 goal.
As of Jan. 19, the fundraising drive reached $14,138.57.
The funds raised help local families in need during the holiday season.
The Cheer Certificate program is a collaboration between the Crawfordsville High School Sunshine Society and the local chapter of Tri Kappa sorority. The groups solicit financial donations from community members and then award those funds to local families in the form of cheer certificates.
These certificates may be redeemed for grocery items at Kroger in Crawfordsville. Certificates range in value according to family size.
Anyone wishing to donate to the Cheer Certificate fund should complete a donation form, which is published regularly in the Journal Review and also can be found online at www.journalreview.com. Donations may be made in honor of or in memory of family or friends, or donations may be made anonymously. Donor names will be printed regularly in the newspaper.
Donations should be mailed to the Sunshine Society, P.O. Box 243, Crawfordsville, IN 47933. Be sure to write “CHS” in the “Pay to the Order Of” line on the check.
All donations remain in the community. Donations are accepted through mid-January and the final day to redeem the certificates is Jan. 31.
