Snow, Snow, and More Snow

Believe it or not the Peanut Butter Drive is still under way. I feel like we have been collecting peanut butter forever now! But, this week is the final week, assuming there is no more snow. We will have the peanut butter shipped out on Friday and I will post the final count on here this weekend. A huge shout out to Penske for supplying us with a truck (a semi no less) and for driving the peanut butter down to Frankfort. If you haven't gotten your jars in to the high school please make a point to do that and we will finish this thing out with a bang!

Final Week

So we are entering the final week of the peanut butter drive. Even after getting turned down by company after company, many students held strong and continued to push to raise as much peanut butter as possible. While I am not sure of the final numbers just yet, I can tell you that even without a coporate sponsorship or a big name celebrity stepping up to the cause, we have been able to raise over 10,000 jars of peanut butter so far to send down to Haiti. How exciting is that! So many people all over Ketucky and surronding states have helped us and many local businesses have stepped up to the plate and help us raise for such a great cause and we thank you for that!

As we are entering our final week we are looking forward to seeing even more peanut butter come through the doors than ever before. If you would like to donate see our paypal link on the left side of the screen. Thank you for your support and as the week progresses we will give you an update of where we are at! Over the weekend we will get an accurate count and tell you exactly how many jars we have been able to raise! Have a great day and rest of the week!

More Miracles

We are now 16 days past the massive earthquake that struck the country of Haiti. For 16 days, search and rescue teams have been digging through the debris, desperately trying to find anyone that might still be alive. Obviously, as time has gone on, the chances of finding anyone still alive have grown very slim. Most medical experts agree that humans cannot survive more than 72 hours without water; but yesterday, a 16 year old girl shocked everyone.

15 days past the quake, or 360 hours, a French search and rescue team pulled a very weak, but alive, Darlene Etienne out from under a collapsed home near St. Gerard University.

Wal-Mart and Baskbetball Games

Good evening everyone. Just wanted to give you all some information on new ways to donate. This weekend, Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 12-5, we will have students set up in front of Wal-Mart accepting jars of peanut butter. They will be handing out slips with information about our goal to passersby and allowing the customers to drop off their purchased jars on their way out of the store.

Also, tomorrow you'll have a chance to enjoy some high school basketball while supporting our cause. Tomorrow night, starting at 6:00, you can gain access to the double header games at Scott County High School for a reduced admission if you bring a jar of peanut butter to donate! That means all you'll need is $3, and your pb of course! First game is Scott County vs. Frankfort High School followed by Scott County vs. Highlands. Come out, bring the family and enjoy some great athletics and help the people of Haiti.

Save Money, Help Haiti!

This weekend I was contacted by another local business offering their help with our goal of three million jars of peanut butter for the victims in Haiti. Between Friends, located in downtown Georgetown at 124 E. Main Street, has agreed to be another drop off point for anyone wanting to donate peanut butter. Not only can  you drop it off, but, if you bring two or more jars in, they will take 10% off your total purchase!!! What a great opportunity, now you can help the people of Haiti, support a local business AND save money!

A big thank you to Emily and Melissa at Between Friends for your support in our effort to help the people of Haiti!!

Rainy Day

No, I'm not talking about my mood, but rather the weather outside right now. It is drizzling outside right now and is supposed to continue all day long. Because of this we will not be set up outside of Wal-Mart today as the previous post had said. Rather, we will be out next weekend on Saturday (this time rain or shine) raising peanut butter left and right. If anyone was planning on bringing peanut butter up to Wal-Mart today then please hold on to it and bring it next week or bring it by the high school sometime this week. Have a great rainy day :)

New Donation, Thank You!

So it is an exiciting night! I logged on to my e-mail to find a paypal receipt for our first donation. While I am not going to say the person's name, a huge thank you goes out to you for helping us reach our goal!

Tomorrow we will be outside of Wal-Mart in Georgetown collecting peanut butter and handing out a little information to people as they go into the store. Thank you to Wal-Mart for allowing us to set up outside tomorrow from 10-5 and thank you to the students who have signed up to work the table.
