Raise the Boot & Santa Sacks Success
This weekend Communities In Schools Houston (CIS) held its Third Annual "Raise the Boot" Drive with the help of the Community Volunteer Fire Department. The fundraiser took place from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2008 at the intersection of Bellaire Blvd. & Hwy. 6.
With the help of this fundraiser, CIS was able to raise more than $11,000 to provide gifts for over 750 at-risk youth in the Alief ISD area. CIS could not have done it without the help of our volunteers. There were close to 40 fire fighters and nine CIS staff to help with donations. CIS would also like to acknowledge the following for their support: Nicole Broadhurst and the Domino's Pizza on Bellaire for donating 10 pizzas for the VFD lunch, DiMassi's Mediterranean Buffet on Bellaire and Hwy 6 for donating to the VFD Raise the Boot Drive and to all the people passing by that day that donated.
