2019-2020 Assumption Fundraising Updates

Thank you for your ongoing patience with the various delays in closing out the fundraisers from the earlier part of 2020.  Shout out to the amazing fundraising chairs: JaMize Grays, Wendy Robinson, Buffy Welborn who have been negotiating with the various companies throughout this period of uncertainty and constant changes. Please see updates below:

Boon/Mixed Bags: Catalog orders have been placed and delivery is expected tomorrow, 5/7/20. The hope is to have them sorted and available for families to pick up on Friday when picking up additional work from classrooms.

See's Fundraiser: Due to COVID-19, See's had to close their distribution center in March, which caused numerous orders that were placed to not be filled.  These orders should have been refunded.  Any checks or orders that were being held in the office were returned to families.  Some orders were able to be successfully placed and items were received.  We are awaiting a total from See's candy regarding these orders to ensure families receive credit towards their fundraising goals. 

Notecards: Our printer for the Notecards was closed due to COVID-19, but has since reopened and has been in communication with the fundraising chair, Buffy Welborn, to get the cards printed as soon as possible.  Checks for this fundraiser will be cashed in the coming days.

Assumption Steps Up: This is our last and final fundraiser of the year.  As a community, we’ve logged over 2.5 million steps - WOW!  While tomorrow morning is the last day to log your steps, we’ll keep the link to gather pledges open through Friday, May 8th.  If every family is able to raise at least $100, we’ll meet our annual goal for the year. Currently, we’re about 1/3 of the way there, so please keep sharing the link to the website. Donating via the website is quick and easy.
