Joe
Bedard and B.J. Carter, both of Gray, hosted the third annual Day of Giving at
the Spring Meadows Golf Club banquet facility, and for the third year running
have met their fundraising goal which was $15,000 for this year. In addition to
the cash, gifts and clothing are also collected and donated to Caring Community of Gray and New Gloucester
(CCGNG) to insure that area families
in need can enjoy a great Christmas.
In
addition to the collection of gifts and clothing, the Day of Giving event was
filled with fun and good cheer. Folks who attended the event enjoyed some great
food and Christmas music while the children were entertained with holiday arts
and crafts.
In
addition to the gifts that go to these families, the volunteers at CCGNG also
provide gift baskets complete with everything for the holiday dinner. As of
Sunday when the event was held, CCGNG volunteer Christina Foster shared that
there are 162 families currently being sponsored, and that the organization
will do its best to fulfill requests
for assistance right up to the last
minute. Foster can be reached at
233-0828. For anyone wishing to
donate to the cause, visit BJ and
Joe Day of Giving on Facebook and use the donation link in the about us section
of the page. Donations
will be accepted right up to
Christmas Day.
