Our 7th Annual School Supply Drive at Monkey's Uncle on August 8 was a great SUCCESS. We would like to thank everyone who participated and supported us. Because of you our kids will be ready to begin the school year with the proper gear. We raised $3,200 and collected lots of school supplies.
Today, we had the privilege and honor to deliver over 48 backpacks filled with much needed supplies (over $1,000 worth of goodies), and over 4 large boxes of school supplies. In addition we presented the Children's Home Society with a check in the amount of $2,400.
An extra shout out and thanks to Carter and Brian of Monkey's Uncle for their continous and generous support. Special thanks to our MC Vicki Bost-Hollingsworth. Thank you also to our corporate donors.
Our heartfelt thanks goes out to each and everyone of you for making this event so special.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Also, special thanks and kudos to our fabulous Emcee and Announcer Vicke Bost Hollingsworth. This would not be possible without everyone's participation. Our heartfelt thanks to all.
