Selma Charity League raises $9K in 'Brunch, Bloom & Bogeys' event for summer program

The Selma Charity League raised $9,000 at its recent fundraising event, "Brunch, Bloom & Bogeys."

The event, which took place on April 13 at the Tin Cup at Valley Grande Golf Course, brought together individuals and businesses from across the community in support of All Things Are Possible - Learning Fun and Fitness STEM Camp.

"Brunch, Bloom & Bogeys" attendees had the opportunity to participate in a range of engaging activities, including a silent auction, a thrilling chipping contest, a creative "Build a Bouquet" station, and an exciting draw-down raffle.

The brunch catering was provided by the Edmundite Missions, a social enterprise. Bama Bud and Pepsi donated the drinks for the event.

"We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support we received during this event," said Haley Burton, Event Organizer and member of the Selma Charity League. "The enthusiasm and generosity of everyone who participated truly made a difference in supporting All Things Are Possible- Learning Fun and Fitness STEM Camp. I loved coordinating the event and it was wonderful to see the community come together with food, golf and flowers to embrace the arrival of Spring. Being able to donate to All Things Possible fills me with joy."

The highlight of the event was the amount raised to support All Things Are Possible - Learning Fun and Fitness STEM Camp. Thanks to the collective efforts of attendees, sponsors, and Charity League members (both active and sustainers), $9,000 was raised. This substantial contribution will directly benefit the summer enrichment camp, providing opportunities for at risk children to learn, grow, and explore in a supportive and engaging environment.
