Well it is that time again! YES it is! CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!!

Official Giving Page: Toys For Kids 2017- GoFundMe

UPDATE: GOFUNDME will not allow us to mention prizes or tickets so now they are called THANK YOU'S! Your THANK YOU'S will be your prize entry amounts.

Goal is $10,000



It's that time of year for giving and our members at www.reef2reef.com love to give! If you are a seasoned veteran of REEF2REEF then you know we help unfortunate children get gifts, clothing and food at Christmas time.

Every Christmas for the past 9 years we have had a toy donation drive and every year the members of R2R and the reefing community step up and give to make Christmas dreams come true! Last year alone we raised over $11,000 and bought gifts for over 100 KIDS!

Being a pastor of a local church in my community gives us the platform to not only see the need around us but to be able to do something about it!

We are able to make sure that all families are in need and that the kids really wouldn't have much for Christmas otherwise. We are able to buy all the gifts with no taxes because we are a non-profit at the church. That saves us hundreds of dollars every year. We also spend the time marking each gift so that the gifts are not allowed to be taken back to the stores in exchange. Sadly there are parents who would take kids gifts back to the store and use the money for other, less productive things. Hate to have to do that but this is for the kids.

We also buy some really nice gifts!

Will you help us reach our goal this year? We can do it! There is nothing that makes you feel better than to give to someone in need.



I would LOVE for us to reach the goal of $10000 this year! We can do it! There is nothing that makes you feel better than to give to someone in need.

Thanks everyone for the donations and support! YOU CAN HELP BY SHARING ON FACEBOOK, FACEBOOK GROUPS AND LOCAL FORUMS!

We are halfway there! Thank you!

Leaving for a visit to my nearest LFS. Donate another $25 just now. Have to spend my money on good things before that visit - there is no place in the aquarium any longer - but still have a good, warm and large hearth to use! - (and some money)

It looks like the found rising have run into a wall. No donation since 15 hours. Come on guys.

I warned you - if it not was halfway now - I should give a link to my favourite Christmas song.

Here it is - I play it every year in order to remember what it is all about – this is a Swedish version – its not about New York – its about my hometown Gothenburg – but the message it’s the same



If you do not want too see any more Swedish Christmas songs (my style ) posted here - just donate!!!

We do not say Merry Christmas - we say GOD JUL

Sincerely Lasse

[jaws789832]

Donated. Always a good thing you do Rev. Thanks for the hard work.

 

[Lasse]

I´m back from the LFS - without fish? - forget that - there was a male Pyamas cardinal - and I´m short of males in my aquaria - so I need to find my shoehorn

But during my little trip - there was a $ 300 jump over the wall - so maybe it could come more

Sincerely Lasse
