[Highland Park] support a holiday gift drive and enter to win penguins tickets
Hello Highland Park neighbors - My name is Lindsay Patross and I write the blog IheartPGH.com. For the past four years – we have joined with a group of bloggers to help the Pittsburgh non-profit Community Human Services – raise money for to provide holiday gifts for the people they serve. Community Human Services, CHS – works with lots of Pittsburghers who often fall outside of the toy drives that provide gifts for kids and the elderly. In 2012 – we had a great response and raised $5000 – enough money so CHS could provide a small gift for an additional 200 people. Earlier this week – it was brought to my attention that we have only raised HALF of what was raised last year. I am determined to help CHS raise the remaining funds – we have raised $1200 already this week, we still need to raise $1200 so that they can provide some holiday cheer for everyone who was supported last year. http://www.crowdrise.com/CHSHolidayGiftProject2013/fundraiser/ We will be raffling of pair of Pens tickets (Penguins vs. Capitals on Jan 15) - 2 tickets to Loge Box 21, Captain Morgan Club and a parking pass. Every dollar donated gets you a chance to win.
