Bill Shaw fund: Skye Drive/Summertime Gang raises $18K in memory of Bo Thorp
For 46 years, residents of the Skye Drive neighborhood and young actors from "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," put on by the Cape Fear Regional Theatre, have caroled to collect money for The Salvation Army of the Sandhills.
Over the years, this group has raised nearly one million dollars to help those in need in our area. The recent passing of their leader, Bo Thorp, encourages this group to work even harder to do the most good for our community because that’s what Bo would want.
This year, the group raised $18,000 for the Bill Shaw Salvation Army Christmas Fund. We appreciate their commitment to helping the Salvation Army continue their good work all year long.
You can help, too. Write your tax-deductible check to the Bill Shaw Salvation Army Christmas Fund and mail it to the Salvation Army, P.O. Box 110, Fayetteville, NC, 28302, or drop it off between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Salvation Army, 220 E. Russell St., Fayetteville, NC, 28301. You can also donate online at salvationarmysandhills.org.
Here’s this week's list of donors. You are all appreciated by those who will be helped and by the organizers of the fund.
