ERA Bill May Realty Co. Supports ToyLift 2009!

 

 

The ERA Bill May Realty Co. Team of Realtors had such a wonderful experience helping out at the ToyLift last year that we are excited to participate again this year!  In fact, we are ramping up our support for the 2009 ToyLift!  Now in its 21st year, ToyLift collects toys and books to give to local children for the holiday season.  ToyLift is the signature event of the Kids Lift Foundation, an impressive, all volunteer, well-organized local charity that supports local families in Charlottesville, Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Nelson and Orange.   They give to families in need and families with circumstances that are not served by other community services.  We are impressed by how well designed and effective this local charity is!  We are proud to announce our promotion of ToyLift to our friends, clients, and colleagues in the real estate community. 

 

We are calling on our community to make as generous a donation as you can give.  We will be collecting donations at our ERA office located in the Seminole Square Shopping Center across from the Giant grocery store now through Thursday, December 3rd.  Call us for shopping list suggestions of popular toys needed by the ToyLift.  Donations of new toys only and new or like new books are accepted by the ToyLift.  Monetary donations are used for the purchase of toys and bicycles in bulk by ToyLift.  Please make donation checks payable to the Kids Lift Foundation.  We will deliver all collected donations to the ToyLift site at Fashion Square Mall on the day of the ToyLift, Friday, December 4th.

 

Uncle Larry's Toy Shop is partnering with us in our efforts to support the ToyLift.  Uncle Larry's is a locally run toy store located at the west end of the Ivy Square Shopping Center. As you can see from the photo, they are stocked with toys for the holiday season and have something for everyone from age 0 to 100!  Call the ERA Team for a discount coupon at Uncle Larry's Toy Shop for the purchase of your ToyLift donations and for your Christmas shopping list, too!

  

Webelos I and Webolos II of Pack 36 of the Stonewall Jackson Area Council of Boy Scouts are helping out at the ToyLift, too.  The ERA Team will be sponsoring the Scouts’ participation at the ToyLift to help them work toward their community service achievements.  Den Leader, Bevan Crocker says, "This is a great project for the Scouts to undertake.  It fits well with the Scouting mission of creating good leaders who give back to our community."  Pictured with us are:  Dorsey Crocker, Damian Dillon, Corbin Staton, Francis MacCall, Alex Henry, Trey Miller, Seth Thomas, and Den Leader, Bevan Crocker. 

 

Thank you in advance for your support of our community.  We want to promote Eat Local! Shop Local! and Give Local!  Please join us for a Happy Holiday season for everyone in our community!
