SAUCC
and Big Brothers Big Sisters have formed a unique
partnership to help youth in our community. For more
than 15 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has
conducted an annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale to raise
funding for their youth mentoring programs in the
Quad Cities. The campaign consists of pre-order
(ordered plants prior to May 1) and day of sales
(plants purchased May 11 - 13).
This year, BBBS is extending an invitation to
organizations to benefit from their
event. Supporters of SAUCC who order through the
BBBS plant sale will have 50% of their purchase
directed to SAUCC! We have the opportunity to
raise more than $2,000-$3,000 through this unique
partnership.
This will provide much needed financial support to
our organization and help a worthy and important
organization in our community.
The sale offers more than 15 varieties of annual
bedding plants in more than 60 different colors. The
sale also offers hanging baskets, geraniums and wave
petunias. A unique element to the pre-ordering
process is free delivery to your home or business
for orders over $100.
You have two opportunities to participate in this
partnership:
-
Complete the plant sale order form provided and
return to SAUCC.
-
Order online: Your online order
will offer you the opportunity to indicate your
participation through the SAUCC partnership.
The pre-order deadline is May 1st.
You can view samples of the plant types and colors
at the
BBBS Web site.
BBBS is also available to answer any questions you
might have about plant types or event logistics.
SAUCC staff will work closely with BBBS to ensure
that all SAUCC customers are fully satisfied.
