What

A fundraising event to benefit those residents of Brazoria County affected by Hurricane Ike. This event will collect funds and non-perishable food items with all generated proceeds going to the Red Cross.

When & Where

Saturday October 11, 2008

Skydive Spaceland, 16111 FM 521, Rosharon, TX 77583. Map/Directions

floodingFood Drive

Bring out your canned/boxed goods. These non-perishable items will be donated to churches in the Rosharon, Alvin and Angleton areas to be distributed to those in need. Also, food for pets can be dropped off at Skydive Spaceland until Oct. 11. This food will be given to the Houston SPCA, which has taken in thousands of pets that have been displaced due to Ike.

Fundraisers

Monetary donations will be given to the Red Cross. These donations will mainly be raised by the raffle, dinner and skydiving. The more you jump, the more Skydive Spaceland will donate--we'll be giving at least $2 to the Red Cross for every jump you make! That evening the Anvil Brothers will have a HUGE BBQ dinner (about $10/plate) where all money collected will be donated.
