*WHO CAN HELP ME?*
Hi Dear Sweet RB Friends, I need your help.
Many of you may or may not know that I am the Executive Director of our local Home Builders Association here in Steamboat Springs. We have been planning a HBA & Toys for Tots fundraiser since August. Unfortunately the person whose hands this was put in in August did nothing and I had to take it over in late September. This means trying to find sponsors and prizes for the bowlers and prizes for the kids from our local schools who are decorating our drop off boxes. We have 28 boxes that we are going to distribute around town and we would love to make sure that those boxes, a truck at Stmbt Motors and even one of our trucks are filled with toys for the kids of Routt & Grand Counties. I have been e-mailing C&W Artists, chefs from FoodNetwork, and anybody I can think of for prizes but to no avail except for the CO Rockies who have donated a signed Troy Tulowitski baseball. You would think that I would be getting some kind of answers! HA! So why do I need your help you ask? If you know anyone local here in Routt County who would like to sponsor us or get a team together, I would love to hear from you. If you know anyone famous who could help us with prizes, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU! LOL If you know of anyone who could donate some nice prizes, I would still love to hear from you. LOL
Here is the flyer I made that I have been sending out, please let me know what you think._ I have been busting my butt on this for the past couple of weeks and I’m the only one doing anything and it’s really frustrating me. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I’m open and thanks for letting me let off some steam.

unfortunately I don’t know anyone from your area, and I am in California, but have you thought about contacting local movie theatres for tickets, or restaurants for a dinner, hotels/motels/bed & breakfasts for a free night, walmart/target/etc for free items (maybe toys), local gyms for memberships that could be a prize, perhaps places for river trips, or ski packages, grocery stores are great for that sort of thing, I know when I did fundraising that they were more than willing to help( they have money specifically for causes like this), or what about maybe theme parks. If you don’t have enough businesses in your town, check larger towns within say 3-5 hrs. I know this probably doesn’t help much, if I were closer I would love to help. Good Luck, hope you are able to get oodles of toys for the kids!!!!

Great ideas all and I thank you! Walmart will already help out, & we should be able to get an extra $1000 for toys to from them! As for the Ski packages, the mountain is not giving away anything this year, very sad….. but I love your ideas and I will work with them. Thank you so much WingsOfAngelz! : )
