On September 10, 2016, Smile for Tomorrow hosted their third official fundraiser. It was held at the Clubhouse Fun Center. For $30 you received 3 hours of UNLIMITED go-karts, bumper cars and mini golf as well as a pre-loaded arcade card. There were raffle prizes available from places like Seabreeze Amusement Park, Pomodoro's Grill, F. Oliver's, and Sticky Lips BBQ as well as autographed photos and posters from teams such as the Buffalo Bills and the NY Giants. The event was a great success! Everyone had a great time and the weather was perfect, even though we had the threat of rain all night. We were able to raise just over $500!
Thank you to everyone that took the time out of their busy schedules to come support the cause and help to raise money for suicide prevention! You read correctly. Smile for Tomorrow is running a permanent T-Shirt Campaign!! It will be set to run every ten days, starting May 1, 2016. Just another way friends and family can show support and awareness for suicide prevention. There are many shirt styles and designs along with coffee mugs and kids shirts too. All at a decent price. All proceeds from this will be donated to the upcoming Out of the Darkness Walk.
Statistics on Suicide in the U.S.
