The big Picnic report

A hearty and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who attended our first-annual Summer Picnic & Fundraiser this past Saturday -- volunteers, sponsors, vendors, friends, families, clowns, musical guests, and anyone I may have forgotten!

First, the good news:

  • We packed the park! While we don't have an exact number, the Hannah's Socks leadership team was pleased to see how many people attended the event. It was hopping all day long, with guests enjoying the barbecue, kids playing games, and folks winning a ton of great sponsor prizes.
  • Attendees came through big-time with sock donations -- we collected more than 1,100 pairs in less than six hours.
  • Supporters opened their wallets, and in turn Hannah's Socks was able to make both material and financial donations to key partner organizations including Cherry Street Mission and Cocoon Shelter.

Unfortunately, we did fall short of the $5,000 donation goal established to help us keep the Hannah's Socks business operating through 2007.

There's still time for you to help.

Thanks again to everyone who came to the Picnic; stay tuned for photos from our big day as well as plans for Hannah's Socks at Harrison Rally Days and details on our fall Socks Drive!
