A big weekend for The CBB!

It was a big fundraising weekend for The Charleston Basket Brigade.

Emily and Michelle were down on King Street (in what was truly the first chilly day of the season) at Second Sunday auctioning off some amazing, all-inclusive vacation trips to the Caribbean. Special thanks to Sebastian Culpepper, Angela Williams, Rusty Streetman and Julian Smith who were our big winners of the day. Together, we raised $3,500!

From Thursday – Sunday, volunteers from Carolina One Longpoint Road office manned the tables at Coastal Cupboard’s Annual Knife Sharpening talking up the Basket Brigade, recruiting volunteers and helping to get those knives sharpened.

Under the guidance of Patti Vick, that group raised $3,194.

Special thanks go out to not only The Coastal Cupboard, but also Betsy Martin, Karen Coley, Tom Ritter, Tricia Gilbert, Liz Tecco, Derek Epperson, Jane Abbott, Peggy Leete, Cindy Elenberger and Jason Newhauser for volunteering your time this past weekend…

Between the two events, we raised almost $6,700. Thank you! Your efforts truly matter!

It’s almost “GO” time!

Each year it seems that the time between Basket Brigade gets shorter and shorter. (Maybe that’s because we’re all getting older? LOL)

Regardless, this year’s event is upon us and we’ve upped the ante.

Our goal this year is to feed 3,500 families (That 21,000 people y’all) and to do it, we’ve got to raise $105,000.

Which leads in to something we’re super excited to share with you…

As you may or may not know, Carolina One Real Estate Services is our biggest partner. They are our largest source of volunteers and a vital part of our fundraising efforts. Check out the video below of our little ones working to make a difference for families less fortunate in our community.

We proudly present CORE KIDS CARE 2015!

As of today, we’re about a quarter of the way towards our goal and we’ve only got three more weeks to raise the money we need to pull this epic event off.

$30 is all it takes to feed a less fortunate family this Thanksgiving. Your donation will go towards providing a complete Thanksgiving feast for those who would otherwise go without. The meal includes: a 10-12 lb turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, rolls and a pie.

There are lots of ways you can get involved…

For starters, please share the above video!

Sponsor a family or two (or three) and sign up to deliver. Click here for more information on how to get involved.

Back In The Saddle Again

WE ARE ECSTATIC TO ANNOUNCE that we’re working with Harris Teeter for the 2015 Charleston Basket Brigade.

For those of you who might not know… The Basket Brigade got it’s start in 2008 when we purchased groceries directly from Harris Teeter and fed 75 families. We can’t even begin to tell you how excited we are to be working with Harris Teeter and our good friend, Derek Pace again.
Feels like coming home. ‪
