No time to tag? Donations are being accepted now through noon on Sunday, March 8th at 416 S. Edgewood and we will do all of the work. 100% of the profit from donations goes to Cossitt! We also appreciate donations of wire hangers or large safety pins.

| Cheers for Cossitt Donations |
|
The Cheers for Cossitt planning committee is looking for a few generous families.
Do you have season tickets you're willing to donate for a game?
Are you an artist who's willing to offer a custom sketch?
Do you have a second home you're willing to donate for a weekend?
Are you a master chef who's willing to host a dinner for a few friends?
If so please consider offering an auction item for Cheers for Cossitt. Funds raised directly benefit our kids! For example, did you know that the PTC contributes $6,500 towards annual LRC support? Cheers for Cossitt is just one method in which those critical funds are raise. If you have any of the items above or other donations in mind, please contact Emily Yacker. Thank you!
