HRRC spring fundraiser hits the mark
Volunteer Lisa Gaynier, HRRC executive director, Kathryn Lad, and board trustee, Kelly Stukus distribute balloons during HRRC's fundraising event at Bremec on the Heights.
The Home Repair Resource Center’s annual spring fundraiser was a tremendous success. This year the event, which ran from April 19 through May 2, was held at Bremec Garden Center on Cedar Road.
In the past, the fundraiser featured a bagged mulch sale. Supporters placed advance orders for pick-up or delivery, with a portion of each sale donated to HRRC. This year Bremec donated a portion of every sale accompanied by an HRRC voucher, which were widely distributed and advertised in the Heights Observer.
HRRC’s executive director, Kathryn Lad, said, "This year’s event was terrific, and generated much excitement in the community."
HRRC board members were on hand to provide vouchers to shoppers and information about the programs that this fundraiser will support. On the two Sunday event days, shoppers were treated to free hot dogs while they purchased plants and supplies for their gardens.
Bob Bremec, owner of Bremec Garden Centers, said, "It is great to work with HRRC because they make a real difference in the community [by] helping to maintain the vitality of homes and neighborhoods. I am looking forward to working with HRRC again next year."
HRRC thanks Bremec on the Heights and everyone who made purchases during the fundraiser.
Mike Gaynier is president of the HRRC Board of Trustees.
