Happy Holidays, Kingfish!
Last year, we came together as a team around the holidays and donated an incredibly generous amount of gift cards to the Duxbury Interfaith Council gift basket drive. They were so thankful that they asked if we’d be able to participate again. The donations usually pour in for younger children, but where they often come up short is in gifts for older children, especially teenagers. This is where the gift cards are tremendously appreciated, as they allow the teens to go and select exactly what they’d like for themselves.
I have received the list of requested stores from the DIC, and they are as follows:
Best Buy (5 cards)
Dick’s Sporting Goods (5)
Target (5)
American Eagle (5)
Hollister (5)
Vineyard Vines (2)
iTunes (8)
AND Amex or VISA cards **these are helpful to fill in holes in the gift baskets for any age bracket (5)
Cards of any value are appreciated; last year most people donated ones $10-25 in value. If memory serves, we were able to collect over $500 as a team, a number I’d love to surpass if we can! If you would like to contribute to this effort, please email me at laurenlizzie@yahoo.com; I will keep track of the donations and make sure everything gets to the Duxbury Interfaith Council. I will be at drop off and pickup for practices on Monday and Friday this week, I also have a Kingfish mailbox where the other coach folders are as well at the Kingsbury Club, which I will check daily. If possible, we’d like to have all donations collected by Decmeber 10th, so that they can be delivered and divided amongst the gift baskets.
Thank you for your generosity! Please email me with any questions.
