PLANET PALMERSTON a success!

The First Annual PLANET PALMERSTON was a huge success! Palmerston Blvd hosted 23 sales, several combining multiple homes, and many more homes contributed to the sale here at Habitat Headquarters. All together our street raised $2,132 for Habitat for Humanity!

We Rock!

I hope all who came out enjoyed the day as much as I did. I want to say a special thanks to those of you who contributed to the planning of the event, attended meetings, collected raffle prizes, made baked goods, helped spread the word through evites, blog and facebook sites, distributed flyers and posters and all of your considerable efforts on the day. You truly made the event happen.

And thanks to Eco Chic Shack for designing our posters, banners, flyers, etc , the office of Joe Pantalone for helping us with our printing and the local businesses who contributed prizes to our raffle (Riviera Bakery, Life Coach Laura McGrath, TVO, Teatro and Kalendar Restaurants). Congrats to all our Raffle prize winners.

I hope you will all be on board for next year's 2nd Annual Planet Palmerston, where we can set our sites even higher!

How can we help donate to Habitat for Humanity?

We are requesting a minimum donation of $20 per sale, to be collected on the day of sale. However we encourage all participants to "think big" and decide to dedicate a % of their days proceeds to Habitat as well. Hold raffles, bake sales, bbq's, lemonade stands... feel free to get creative!

We are also accepting donations of goods at "Habitat Headquarters", 351 Palmerston, where 100% of proceeds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity. Goods can be dropped off on the porch starting from May 27th.
