Blueridge Cares 2022
Blueridge you are amazing!
Thank you to the amazing humans of Blueridge for your overwhelming generosity. Together we raised over $6000 in cash, including over $500 from Purdys purchases, and about $4800 in gifts in kind for our Blueridge neighbours.
This year we were able to help 4 families (totaling 14 individuals) make their holiday season more festive and stress free!
This has been a huge undertaking led by our head elf, Mahnaz Fardghassemi and helper elves Fariba Leilaby, Annely Greene, Ruth Hanson, Ted Bancroft, Eric Andersen, Carolann Fraenkel and Cris Fraenkel who were involved in the behind the scenes organization of the effort.
A big thank you to the volunteers who helped with fundraising, wrapping, shopping and delivery:
