Dash's Market Tape Saver Program

Dash's Market will help the CCFA/WNY by contributing $5.00 for every $100.00 in Dash's Market register receipts. The program will begin with an initial redemption of $5,000.00 in tape value. I think that this could be a worthwhile fund raising project and am willing to coordinate/facilitate it.

Needless to say, I am personally quite far from the $5,000.00 needed to begin, but, if among the readership of this newsletter there are a number of Dash's shoppers, let's combine our tapes and get going. A couple of ways to go about it: either send me a bunch of saved tapes and I'll do the accounting or save $1,000.00 worth of tapes and send them then.

Volunteers Needed!

CCFA WNY Chapter would not exist without its volunteers. We are in need of your help. We can work with you to match you up with your available time or expertise. Please consider volunteering so that CCFA can continue to educate people and support WNYers with Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. We need help in the following areas:

MAJOR EVENT ORGANIZERS: Are you good at or like to organize parties, events or social gatherings? We need your help. We need someone to chair events for CCFA of WNY. Examples of events could be: a golf tournament, gala, casino night, fishing tournament, or a holiday party. Think of your talents and let's get CCFA into the public eye. We need a cure for IBD and with the continued support of CCFA research that is funded by these events we could make that difference! PLEASE contact westernny@ccfa.org.
