2012 in Review
2012 was our first full year. It started out great when we received a $600 donation from the South Plainfield Mayor’s Wedding Fund. On June 13th Time 2 Shine presented two deserving South Plainfield students with $5,000 Scholarships. As we geared up for annual Yard Sale in October it became apparent we all needed to prepare for Super Storm Sandy and we cancelled our yard sale. After Super Storm Sandy hit New Jersey and caused wide spread devastation, Time 2 Shine made the decision to cancel the annual Chinese Auction. With so much destruction to so many people in our area, people were donating time and money to the efforts to restore the Jersey shore. We chose not to compete with that. In our local area Time 2 Shine donated over $1,200 in food gift cards to aid those most affected by Super Storm Sandy in our area. As we look ahead to 2013 we know we will have to work harder to help the kids we have pledged to help. We have many great ideas for fundraising and look forward to everyone’s support and to having a great year!
