A little boy named, Chase, decided to do a fundraiser for Going Places to help raise money for kids his own age who can’t afford what he loves most; a bike! His “Chase’s Cookies for a Cause” raised over $300! If you want to donate to Chase’s fundraiser or you or your child want to create your own fundraiser,

BUNDLES OF JOY
We have been thinking about how we can spread Joy NOW to the disadvantaged kids who are quarantined at home due to Covid-19 since we can't give out our bikes.
We decided to create ""Bundles of Joy"" which are bags filled with activities for the whole family to enjoy together! Each bag will have (use an emoji in front of each line item):
4 coloring books
2 packs of crayons
6 pack of different card games
Mini Terrarium (generously provided by Wonder Works)
either legos or a mini Jenga
We will go to one of the largest food pick up locations at a school where 120 families come through daily (1,000's of people make up the member of those families) and give out our ""Bundles of Joy,"" one to each family. People can purchase the items needed to make the Bundles of Joy from our Amazon wish list:

We need these items purchases ASAP so we can give out the bundles by the end of the month!"
