Annual Pool Party


Our annual pool party was this past Saturday, if you missed it then you missed a GREAT time! We had over $1,000 worth of gift card prizes to give away. We sold raffle tickets to raise money for Feeding America and collected can foods for them as well.

Every year Fogelman Management Group picks a charity for it's Fogelman Cares program. This year it is Feeding America so every Fogelman community will be doing their own fundraising to raise money for Feeding America. If you actually take the time to do some research you will see the statistics for the number of people that rely on food banks to feed their families each month. Feeding America cites 37 million Americans. That number blows my mind and makes me sad to think about all the food that goes to waste each day from restruants and such. It is my opinion that we should have a way to pool all of those leftovers together and feed these people but of course, that will never happen. Bottom line, I think it is an amazing charity and if you are able to help please visit their website to find out how... http://www.feedingamerica.org/

Now onto the reason I wrote the blog, I wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to each of our sponsors for donating gift cards and items for our party. I figured I would list each of them and give credit where credit is due:
