07 Oct Support Relay for Life of La Mirada/Whittier Fundraisers
Relay for Life of La Mirada/Whittier would appreciate community support for two upcoming fundraisers. Our local chapter of the American Cancer Society is dedicated to helping the community attack cancer. Through these fundraising efforts, we can make a difference. When we rally together in the fight against cancer, we can accomplish anything.
Relay for Life of La Mirada/Whittier Clothing & Shoe Drive Fundraiser
Please clean your closets for Relay for Life! Fall is almost here, and it is the perfect time for another “closet clean out” fundraiser! Relay for Life is collecting bags of gently used, unwanted clothes, shoes, and more. Help them by gathering any unwanted items from the list below. Spread the word to friends, family, and neighbors.
Please collect donations in tied, white kitchen trash bags (os similar size bag). Please no XL 40 gallon bags; they tend to be challenging to load. Mark your bags with “Relay.” Relay for Life’s goal is 500 bags and MORE – so start collecting today!
