Turkey Trot Success!

/in , , /by

 

A HUGE thank you to all those that organized, participated, and volunteered for the 1st Annual Village Green Turkey Trot!! We raised a total of $1,360.70!

The overall winner was Jacob Peek coming in at an astounding 25 minutes! First place Female goes to Rachel Frye at 26:27. The kids also rocked their fun run, being the first race for all of the participants. Jackson Greene was our fun run winner!

This is a great start to our “Fund Our Fun” journey. We have raised almost half of our goal of $2,800. Please keep your eyes peeled for our next fundraiser coming in mid-January. We are planning a Wine and Cheese Night with a Basket Raffle! *The basket raffle will be held no matter what. The Wine and Cheese portion will be Covid/Governor imposed restrictions dependent. We are looking for volunteers to help put together baskets and for donations for the basket as well.  We are off to a great start to help start replacing some of the worn out playground equipment in the park.

The Annual Breakfast with Santa is fast approaching! This year it will be held on December 12th at 10:00am. For those that are new to the neighborhood, traditionally the parents will provide a gift for their child(ren) for Santa to give them at the breakfast. Gifts may cost no more than $15. All gifts (and any donations) to be delivered to 721 VGP by December 11th. Please coordinate with Stephanie GianDonato (240-672-2747) for drop off.

There will be a Christmas Ornament craft provided for the children.

The event will be held outside this year, in order to remain within all Covid social distancing guidelines and restrictions. Dress accordingly! If interest is high, we will add a second time to ensure our group numbers do not violate any government imposed restrictions.

This event is traditionally a VGCA members only event. This year we would like to open it up to all residents of Village Green. If you are not a member, it will be $5 per child. Payment must be cash or check and is a donation to the ongoing “Fund our Fun” fundraiser for new playground equipment in the park.
