About:
This recent event we did was to support Make a Wish. We did this event last year and had even more success this year. We needed to figure out a way to collect letters while social distancing and being safe due to Covid 19. We got our parents to help by driving us around to pick up the letters from the kids. We dropped off letters earlier in the week in mailboxes letting the kids know we would be driving around. We decorated the truck, had holiday music playing, gave kids candy canes and reindeer food as they dropped their letters in our letter nets that were on poles to safely keep our distance. We also had support from our old elementary and middle school district (East Moriches UFSD). Our old teachers had their students write letters. Some of our amazing neighbors that are teachers also had their classrooms do it as well and with all this support we collected 644 letters. We got them in on time for the double wish award by Macy’s granting $2 per letter totaling $1,288 and a cash donation to Make a Wish of $40 bringing our grand Total to $1,322. We are looking forward to our next event!
We are The Golden Canes!
