I've got exciting news about some fundraisers for Jim in the Walla Walla area. It is heartwarming to hear of the love and support that is being shown for my dear brother. He's spent a lifetime showing the Golden Rule to others, and now people are responding in kind. Truly, kindness always comes back.
Barbara Suzui of Gary's Paint and Decorating is spearheading much of the fundraising efforts (thank you so much, Barbara). Here are the details I have so far:
1. Big Cheese Pizza. A gift card purchase of $10 gives you a specialty pizza worth $18—and contributes $3 for Jim's fund. These are great stocking stuffers, and give you a great deal while helping Jim. Cards can be obtained from Barbara at Gary's Paint, or you can call her cellphone at 509-301-9406. If you can help sell the cards, just give her a call and she can work it out with you. Also, if you can help put up posters in the Walla Walla area, please contact Barbara. People are taking these cards to sell at their club meetings, churches, and other events. They are easy to sell, as everyone loves a bargain—and if includes pizza, what could be better?
2. Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream. Adam at Walla Walla's Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Parlor is planning on holding evening events for Jim. A percentage of all purchases during these evenings will go to Jim's fund. The first event will be January 20. 10% of the gross profit will go to Jim's fund.
3. Kenna's Glass. Kenna Larson, herself a cancer survivor, is selling her glass etching products and donating a percentage of the profits for Jim's fund.
Thank you Barbara, Adam, and Kenna for this wonderful outpouring of support. It means the world!
UPDATE: Barbara tells me that she can arrange for a similar fundraising opportunity with Pizza Hut, if anyone from any location where there is a Pizza Hut is willing to help. The coupons are easy to sell, as everyone likes pizza, no matter what the season. If you would be willing to be involved, please contact Barbara at the phone number given above.
