Two exciting pieces of PACEM fundraising news this week:
First, we’re pleased to report that PACEM has been named the beneficiary of the 2009 Charlottesville Ten Miler! So, lace up your running shoes and get all of your friends to do the same — the race takes place on April 4, 2009 and is great fun for runners and spectators alike. For more info., see www.cvilletenmiler.com.
Second, Channel 29 news ran a heartwarming story this evening about a PACEM supporter (Debbie Pollock)who’s taken it upon herself to raise funds from her friends and neighbors to keep our shelter open for an extra week in March — see http://www.nbc29.com/Global/story.asp?S=9477378 and click on the link next to the camera symbol to see the video.
While it’s important to note that we’re still trying to raise enough money just to keep our doors open UNTIL March, we’re extremely grateful to Debbie, and to Dan and Alice Wiggins from the Ten Miler, for their tremendous displays of generosity. What a way to put everyone in PACEM in the holiday mood!
