SPECIAL THANKS FOR A SUCCESSFUL NIGHT! In spite of downpours and threats of a tornado, the Basket Auction hosted by Climb on Board was a huge success with close to $8,000 being raised. Incredible baskets were raffled off at the Avon School, thanks to the generosity of local and national businesses as well as the Avon Teachers, Parents and Students and our own Barrington Residents and Organizations. Along with a generous donation by Mayor John Rink and City Council, our total fundraising efforts to date are $35,000. Such community spirit and support is bringing us one step closer to reaching our goal of $80,000 for the Rebuilding of the Avon School Playground. |
