Darts for Dreams/Make A Wish - Charity time!!!
Hey everyone. By now, everyone has seen my yearly posts about Darts for Dreams. Well, Covid put a wrench into our 2020 event, and we finally decided in August 2020 to just do what we could online. Since most sponsors were already on board, we had things to raffle off, donations were in, etc... All in all, we raised $74,000+ and cross the half million dollar mark in 15 years.
As we looked towards April this year, we chose not to go back to our original date, but instead wait. As the summer started and restrictions in NJ loosened, we chose August 28th to have a hybrid event. We'll do an in person event (with indoor and outdoor sections) as well as open our raffles and donations up online. We figure that childhood diseases don't stop with Covid, and if we can raise anything, its more than nothing. We're still optimistic that we'll raise between 30 and 35 thousand this year.
Saying all that, please check out Darts for Dreams Website - you can get some history on the event, but more likely, you can click the RAFFLES button to go to our raffle system. I don't recall anyone else here being a dart player- that's fine. We have all kinds of things, many suitable to anyone.
There's gift cards for Amazon, Target, Wegmans and HomeGoods (TJMaxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods and HomeSense) and Dick's Sporting Goods.
There's some Philly and NY Giants related sports memorabilia.
There's some artwork too, a watch, lottery tickets and use of a timeshare.
There's a liquor basket, but I'm not shipping it, so we'd have to figure out getting it to you or more likely, you coming to get it! lol.
So, go out and take a look. It's a simple form, if you wanted to get some tickets, you'd just fill in the quantity, provide basic info, then, when complete, you're directed directly to the MAWNJ donation page. Each "ticket" is 5 points which equates to $5. If you don't want tickets but want to help, there's also a DONATION button that bypasses the raffle system.
Thanks all. Between the MWG and online, some of you have participated and helped in the past. It is very much appreciated. Hopefully we've put enough non-darts items this year to gain some more interest.
