JUST ANNOUNCED!
TOY DRIVE FOR KENNEDY KRIEGER INSTITUTE
at the Saturday Night Awards Banquet
Focus Rising has partnered with SpecterXP from FocalJet for a Toy Drive for the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, MD. We are going to gather toys for the Institute during the Saturday Night Banquet to be presented at a Toy Run later this fall taking place in Baltimore. SpecterXP has held the Toy Run event for Kennedy Krieger in honor of his daughter since 1998 and this will be the 12th year for the event. They have raised over $10,000 in years past for research towards disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal system.
How is Focus Rising helping out the Toy Run? We have decided that during the Saturday Night Awards Banquet to hold a Toy Drive to benefit the Toy Run which will be taking place later this Fall in Baltimore, MD. Our plan is to stuff a Focus full of toys and deliver that to KKI at the Toy Run Event.
How can you help? We are asking all that are attending the Dinner and Awards Banquet to bring a New, Non-Violent, Un-Opened Toy to the Dinner Banquet. Monetary Donations will also be accepted in the for of Cash or Check made out to the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Josh aka SpecterXP will be in attendance collecting such donations. We all hope you can be a part of this.
Anyone who does donate whether via a Toy or Monetary we will award 2 extra raffle tickets towards the Sponsor Donated Items Raffle at the banquet.
We hope you all can help out a good cause with us at this event.
SATURDAY NIGHT AWARDS AND DINNER BANQUET
