Fundraising for this year’s Cheer Certificate campaign is already making progress towards the organizers’ goal.
Crawfordsville High School’s Sunshine Society launched its 113th Cheer Certificate campaign in late November with the goal of raising $18,000. Last year the group raised $14,388.
As of Friday, the fund had collected $1,067.
The program asks for financial donations from the community and uses the funds to help families in the community by providing certificates that can be redeemed for groceries at Kroger in Crawfordsville. The certificates range in value based on family size.
Donations to the campaign can be made in honor of or in memory of family or friends or made anonymously.
The donation form is published regularly in the Journal Review and also available online at www.journalreview.com.
Donations will be accepted through mid-January and should be sent to CHS Sunshine Society, P.O. Box 243, Crawfordsville, IN 47933.
Recent donations made to the campaign include: $200 anonymous; $50 anonymous; $37.19 Charles A. Sommer in memory of Eatha Sommer; $100 Judy and Roger Hildebrand in memory of George Venis; $30 anonymous in memory of loved ones; $50 Aus and Lucy Brooks; $75 Monty and Sherry Harris in memory of Fred Mitchell, Standley and Aliee Harris; $25 Terri Fyffe in memory of Ruth Fyffe Gentry; and $500 anonymous.
