Spirit of the Holidays Campaign: November-December 2007 Update
This year we were able to donate 4 toys/board games to Toys for Tots. We also participated in the B98 Stuff the Bus Campaign to help the YWCA Women's Crisis Center and Catholic Charities Harbor House. Click here for more about Spirit of the Holidays.
Cyre Post is a group of friends who donate time, money and needed items to the list of charities that we have chosen as well as participate in events in our area to help other charities and groups. We also help out selected charities that are brought to our attention through the media and member referrals. Cyre Post is a purely vounteer based group allowing all money and items collected to go to helping those who need it most. Note: We ask that you please don't send money. The money that is collected is money that we pool together and use on our own to help those in need. Occassionaly we will ask for pledges for Bowl for Kids' Sake or Relay for Life.
Currently our largest event of the year is our Spirit of the Holidays Campaign which runs from November through Mid-December. During the campaign, we collect new toys for Toys for Tots, and other items for the Kansas Humane Society, Brett and Tracy Turkey Drive & other Holiday based drives as well as pariticpate in other charity events.
In 2003 we began our Share Your Heart for Valentines campaign. Money raised helped out Brian Littrell's Healthy Heart Club for Kids and the Kansas Humane Society.
In 2009, we hope to kick-off our Save the Earth Campaign where we will encourage recycling, tree planting and taking care of our Earth. The campaign will kick-off with a picnic in the park.
Throughout the year, we collect cothing and household items to give to the Goodwill, UMUM and Salvation Army. We also collect new toys, items and pet supplies for our Spirit of the Holiday campaign.
We are always looking for new friends and members who are interested in volunteering in the community, helping us come up with new ideas for events, and further involvement in our community or helping us with our clothing and special item drives. Members receive seasonal newsletters and the reward of knowing that they are helping others. There are no fees associated wth being a member and everything is strictly voluntary.
