JDRF Fundraiser Update

Thanks to all the hard work of our Solara Team and the absolutely fabulous Owners and Guests we have at Solara, I am happy to announce that we have been able to raise $258.00 in the very first week of our fundraiser. WOOOHOOO!!!

With 8 more weeks to go, I see no reason why we would not reach (and surpass) our goal of raising $800.00 for JDRF.

This is how we raised our money:

Sneaker Sales:         $18.00
Super Bowl Party:    $90.00
Bake Sale:                 $120.00
On-line Donations:  $30.00

Please be aware that every week we will be having a bake sale in the lobby so please come out and enjoy some sweet (diabetic and non-diabetic friendly) treats, all freshly baked by Junior W. and myself. All items are being sold for $3.00 a piece and 100% of the proceeds will benefit JDRF.
