Crab Feed - Final Totals!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Crab Feed a success! We couldn't have done this without all of you. You helped us raise $2,290 for our first official fundraiser as the JTS Foundation and we couldn't be more proud. A special thank you goes out to Louise Soskin, her family and Wisehaven Banquet and Expo Center. This wouldn't have happened without you.

We hope that you all left full and happy yesterday and had safe drives home, especially those of you who drove hours and hours to join us for the afternoon. We are honored. So many children and families will be helped because of your love and support. Together, we making strides in this fight against childhood cancer.

Crab Feed Updates & Details

It's almost here! I hope you're all excited and we thank you for your tremendous support. It should be a great weekend. Here are some details to get you to the event and through the day:

The Crab Feed is being held at Wisehaven Banquet and Expo Center in the Terrace Room. For those of you not familiar with Wisehaven or those of you who are traveling from out of town, my best advice is for you to GPS or Google Map the address.

Wisehaven Banquet and Expo Center
2985 E. Prospect Road
York, PA 17402

The Wisehaven facility is also home to a large pool (one of the only ones still open in our area) and indoor tennis courts. The banquet building is not hard to spot. When you pull into the parking lot it is the one straight ahead! The entrance to the Terrace Room is on the upper left-hand side of the building. Look for red balloons.

Parking:
Please do your best to park in the back, left side lot. If it is a busy day for the pool, we will block this lot off just for Crab Feed attendees.

More important things to remember:
- Our start time is 1:00 p.m.
- This event is BYOB! If you want to drink it, you must bring it! Soda will be provided.
- Bring your cash! There will be basket raffles and a 50/50 raffle. There's a good chance you'll go home not only with a full belly but with a full wallet too!

If you have any questions, purchased tickets via PayPal and did not receive them in the mail yet or would just like to chit chat, please email us at jtsfoundation@gmail.com

We can't wait to see you Saturday! Thank you so very much to everyone!

Yard Sale

Our first Yard Sale for the JTS Foundation was a successful one! Thank you to all of our buyers, donors and most importantly volunteers! Thanks to our neighbors who let us completely take over their yard for the weekend and continue to support us throughout this adventure. Thank you to all of our family and friends, we love you! Over the weekend we raised just over $930 for the foundation all by selling our stuff (and your stuff). What a deal!

Here's a peak at the action:

This is it!

Today (June 15th) is the last day to purchase Crab Feed tickets on the blog! The PayPal feature will be removed at 11:00 p.m. tonight and we will then turn our focuses toward the Luncheon on August 27th!

Thank you to everyone who has helped to make this event a success thus far, especially Louise Soskin at Wisehaven Banquet and Expo Center, and stay tuned here for photos of the Crab Feed on June 25th and to learn how much money we raised to fight pediatric cancer!
