Holiday Event Yields Sweet Surprises
Presenting two easy steps for holiday fun: 1. Open tin. 2. Insert cookies! Join us for BAPA’s 3rd annual Holiday Cookie Crawl, Sat., Dec. 8. Families can purchase a tin, then shop at participating businesses and pick up a cookie at each stop. Tins must be purchased in advance online for $20 each. The quantity is limited. Look for the release date in the November Villager and BAPA’s weekly Enews.
#Giving Tuesday Challenge Extended!
BAPA celebrated #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving, on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. All donations were doubled, thanks to a matching grant from the Richard H. Driehaus Charitable Lead Trust. The Driehaus Trust has extended their matching campaign, meaning you can still give to BAPA and have your donation matched, dollar for dollar, between now and December 31!
