Has your head ever exploded from new information?  Would you even know it if it happened?… Well, hold onto your hat.

For June, the recycling numbers eclipsed our best month ever AND pushed us past 2009’s total numbers – JUST 6 MONTHS INTO 2010!!!

WE RAISED $5,522.45 last month!!!! (I’m not sure if that’s enough exclamation points)

That brings us to $20,982.71 for the year, compared to $7,602.94 through 6 months last year, and $20,938.45 for all of 2009.

Our goal for 2010 is to raise $30,000 for the year… and we’re well on our way, just half way into the year.

Congratulations to all of our recycling partners & the hard work of our team.  Plus, we’d like to welcome our newest partners:

• Boise Basin Electric
• Baumgart Construction Company
• Hill Construction
• Union Corner Construction (Vancouver, WA)

The Wine ‘n Dine Event was a huge success as a fundraiser for the John William Jackson Fund.

With the amazing generosity of local businesses & individuals, plus the enthusiastic response from the crowd at the concert, we raised $2,154.57!!!

The final metal recycling fundraising total for May was $2,548.28, compared to $2,235.79 for May last year. That brings us to $15,460.28 for the year – putting us on monthly average of $3,092 – compared to a monthly average of $1,745 last year.  This pace would push us well past our goal of $30,000 for the year. 

Thanks goes out to our tremendous recycling partners and the hard work from our recycling team.
