Letter: BFR says thanks for your shoes!
Icon viewers:
Bluffton Family Recreation would like to thank everyone who donated their old shoes for our fundraiser. We collected over 5,400 pairs of shoes that are now being refurbished and are on their way to people who can use them all over the world.
The money you helped us raise is helping to maintain the BFR building and purchase new equipment. We would like to especially thank Sharon Calvelage and Jerry Burkholder for all the shoes they contributed and also our BFR volunteers for making this fundraiser a success.
BFR is now collecting our next batch of used shoes. Please bring them to the BFR front desk. It helps if they are tied, rubber banded or taped together.
Thank you for your wonderful support of Bluffton Family Recreation.
The Board of Directors of BFR
