Donations keep pouring in....

We are only 17 days away from build day on September 24th and less than $15,000 away from our goal!!! A huge thank you to everyone who has shown their support in a variety of ways, without you this would not be possible. Isn't it great to see what our community can do when we all work together and if you think the fundraising is amazing, you definently won't want to miss BUILD DAY, it's going to be AWESOME!!!

The next couple of weeks are going to be super hectic with fundraisers, planning, organization, planning and did we mention lots of planning? ;-)  As donations come in fast and furiously the webpage will be updated every night in one blog post so you can log in every morning, see the news and see what day we blow the top off that thermometer!!! What day do you think it will be?

***Just a note before I mention the donations for today. If you would like your name on our complimentary build day volunteer t-shirts, your donation needs to be recieved by today SEPTEMBER 7th! You may use PayPal, drop off your donation at the Eastport Credit Union,  Eastport Town Council or at Holy Cross School!
