Last year, the Marc and Michael donated nearly 175 toys! They are hoping to break their record with 200 toys. We are selling $20 squares for the Patriots/Chiefs game. Payouts will be $200 per quarter (1-4) and $200 for final score for a total of $1000. The second fundraiser is a 50/50. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10. The drawing will be on December 1st. Payment can be made with cash, check or Venmo to emurphy1614. You can also donated a new unwrapped toy. For more information you can email Dawn Murphy here!
