Cheer Certificate drive exceeds goal

Posted

Donations to the 109th annual Sunshine Society Cheer Certificate campaign continued to flow into the coffers earlier this month, helping organizers exceed their $12,000 goal.

As of Jan. 8, $20,146.45 has been donated toward helping feed local families in need.

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 cheer certificates may be redeemed for grocery items at Kroger in Crawfordsville. Certificates range in value according to family size.

Donations are accepted through mid-January and can be mailed to the Sunshine Society, P.O. Box 243, Crawfordsville, IN 47933.

Donations collected after mid-January are kept in the fund to begin the next campaign. All donations remain in the community.

Donations may be made in honor of or in memory of family or friends, or donations may be made anonymously. Donor names are printed regularly in the newspaper.
