RFL Spring Flower Fundraiser

We are now moving onto our next mini-fundraiser that we hope will bring in mega-money!  The good people at Hoen’s Greenhouse will be supplying all the quality flowers for us.  There are various flowers, hanging baskets and vegetable plants to choose from.  A complete order form follows with pricing information and flower descriptions. Spring signifies new life and hope, as does the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.  We sincerely hope that you become part of our team by participating in the event and supporting the event financially by helping to sell flowers.  You can sell flowers to anyone!  You will collect the money at time of sale.  All vouchers and checks (made out to Friends of Perrysburg) are due by April 25, 2008.  Your customers can pick up their flowers between May 1 – May 9 at Hoen’s Greenhouse.  Their selection is vast and you’ll be impressed with their quality.  Please contact Joy at joy14@accesstoledo.com for more information.

You've probably read about Daffodil Days in the past.  It's a widely publicized fundraising event put on my the American Cancer Society.  This year our FOP team has the opportunity to earn $6 for each bunch of daffodils that we sell.  Daffodils are sold as cut flowers in bunches of ten.  If you are interested in purchasing a bunch of daffodils, please consider ordering through our team.  Contact Chris at ccady@bex.net or Joy at joy14@accesstoledo.com.

2008  Poinsettia Fundraiser

Thank you to everyone who purchased and/or sold poinsettias for the Relay for Life Team.  We raised approximately $329.40 - yippee!  All poinsettias were available for pick up at the Kumon Learning Center in RiverPlace Plaza.  We've made a great start to our team fundraising efforts!  

Beach Party 2007 RecapWhat a fabulous time we had at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life this past June!  Thank you to everyone who donated or came out and walked with us for such a worthy cause!  We raised just under $2000 and couldn't have done it without all of your support!Beach Party 2007

This year FOP will be bringing a Beach Theme to the ACS’ Relay for Life from June 15 – 16 at Rivercrest Park .  Relay for Life is a fun, team-based overnight event.  As each Relay begins, teams pitch tents and decorate their campsite.  They set out food, games and sleeping bags that will keep them going throughout the event.  Then in a moving tribute to survivorship, cancer survivors from the community kick off the Relay by walking a victory lap around the track known as the Survivors’ Lap.  A luminary ceremony to honor those affected by cancer is held at dusk.  Lit candles are placed in bags bearing the names of both survivors and those lost to the disease (A luminary order form is attached to this newsletter).  Throughout the evening and into the next day, everyone enjoys entertainment, fun, and camaraderie.  Though every team has a great time at the annual ACS Relay for Life event in Perrysburg each year, we need to remember the real reason we are all getting together:  Raising money for Research and for Services to support Cancer Patients and their Families.  This year FOP has sponsored two fundraising events to raise money for our Team.  We sold poinsettias during the holiday season and took part in a fundraising event sponsored by Max & Erma’s.  We still have a lot more to do to reach our Team goal of $1500.  If you’ve never been a part of a Relay before this is the year to get involved!  This is a team event, so we need everyone’s participation.  This is a community wide event and thousands of Perrysburg citizens will be there sharing in the fun.  Don’t miss out!  Learn more about the event and what you can do at our Team meeting, Tuesday, April 10^th from 7 – 8 pm at the home of Joy Ermie.  Cancer has affected each and every one of us in one way or another; now is our chance to come together to raise money to find a cure!

Hurricane Katrina Baby Shower

Friends of Perrysburg donated baby supplies/gift cards to the Frank Liller Family of New Orleans.  Frank is the son of Frank Liller, Sr. (High School English and Yearbook Teacher at Perrysburg High School ).

Like so many on the Gulf Coast , Frank and his wife, Lena , lost EVERYTHING.  Currently, they are still living in boarded-up, temporary housing in New Orleans due to Frank’s employment, as Lena lost her job due to the flooding.  In addition, they are expecting their first child (a boy) in January and are overwhelmed with the process of rebuilding a life for themselves and their unborn child.
