HELP US HELP KIDS!

(and have fun while doing it!)

For over 15 years Danberry has hosted an event to provide emergency financial assistance to families of children with serious or life-threatening illnesses.  In conjunction with The Toledo Children’s Hospital Foundation, kids throughout northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan have been helped.  This year we are adding the Autism Collaborative and the YMCA/JCC Childhood Obesity initiatives to the causes we support.

Our centerpiece event is a charity dinner auction that will be held at The Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons, Perrysburg, on Thursday, 10/13, beginning at 6:00pm.  There are MANY ways you can help the cause!

  • Please join us!  Our $75 event ticket is the best bargain in town for an event of this quality!
  • We are in need of good items (or services) for the evening’s silent and live auctions. ($25 minimum value please). Donors will be recognized on this website and in the event’s program.
  • Buy a $25 raffle ticket for a chance to win a new Mercedes C-Series luxury automobile for a year, courtesy of Coppus Motors in Tiffin!
  • Buy Danberry Treasure Chest wines (4 varieties) at a special charity display in any of The Andersons stores.  (10% discount by the case).
  • Join us as an event sponsor!  About a dozen have already done so at levels from $500 to $5,000 and will be recognized at the event, in the program, and throughout the year in Danberry marketing pieces.  Details at: http://www.danberry.com/danberry_charities/

We hope you will lend a hand to a child in need of help.

OK, that may seem like an odd headline, but we mean it.  The good people at The Andersons have a contest under way during the month of December which could benefit the families of many kids with serious illnesses at Toledo Children’s Hospital

The centerpiece of Danberry’s charitable efforts is an emergency assistance fund at the hospital called The Danberry Treasure Chest.  This is an invaluable lifeline for some families with children struggling with chronic illnesses while they struggle with financial issues.  That’s where you can help us by selecting our private label wine for your holiday entertaining as well as gifts! 

Please print this flyer  and stock up for the holidays.  4 varieties are available as well as case discounts, and they make great gifts as you visit friends and relatives. They will be found on a special display in the wine department of each Andersons store, or ask for it by name.  The Andersons also makes a contribution to the fund for the equivalent of every bottle purchased. 

What could be an easier way to support the neediest of kids?  Thanks in advance for your help, and Cheers!

Charity Auction

2010 Danberry Treasure Chest Auction

…kind of. Money is still coming in and being counted, but we can confidently say that we raised over $40,000 at this year’s Danberry Treasure Chest Dinner Auction for Charity.

The event was held October 14 at the Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons and was emceed by Jerry Anderson of Channel 11. Both a silent auction and a live auction were held. Jack Amlin served as the auctioneer and helped drive bids up to make this year’s live auction one of our most entertaining and successful ever!

Fun with Jack Amlin during our live auction!

We also hosted an Ambassador Family who came in and told their story of how the fund saved them from losing their house during a difficult pregnancy which put the mother on bed rest and unable to work for over 6 months.

The Danberry Treasure Chest is an emergency assistance fund set up at The Toledo Children’s Hospital benefitting families struggling with finances while their child struggles with a serious illness. Funds are administered through The Toledo Community Foundation and used for things such as back utilities, house payments, car repairs, etc. so parents can spend time with their seriously ill children in the hospital.

On Thursday, September 23 the Danberry Briarfield office hosted a miniature golf outing at the Maumee Sports Mall to raise funds for The Danberry Treasure Chest. The teams were treated to dinner and drinks as they putted their way through the 18 hole course. Prizes were awarded to the winning foursome, the last place foursome and the player with the most hole-in-one shots. The organizers were also kind enough to provide prizes for all the kids that played!

On Saturday Danberry’s Oregon branch organized a fundraiser at The Crazy Lady Saloon in Curtice, Ohio to raise funds for The Danberry Treasure Chest. Funds donated came from 1/2 of every pizza sale, tips from the bar, 50/50 and prize raffle tickets. A huge thanks goes to Kelsey Hall and Melissa Domanowski, the organizers of the event. Besides planning and organizing, they gave their entire day up to be there and help!

Thanks to Melissa and Kelsey for all of their hard work!
