Christmas Charity Chase
We’re teaming up with our friends at John Henry’s Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical for the 3rd annual Christmas Charity Chase, and this year it’s GUYS vs GIRLS!
We’ve selected four great local charities to highlight, and you can join us in the spirit of Christmas by donating funds and/or items off their wishlists! Bring donations to the Froggy studio at 4343 O Street in Lincoln during normal business hours or VENMO @FROGGY981, and let us know which team you’ll be joining so we can add your name below!
The team that collects the highest value of donations will also receive an additional $1,000 CASH from John Henry’s to split for their two charities! (The runner up team will receive an additional $500 CASH to split for their two charities)
Your final opportunity to donate will be Thursday, December 12th! We’ll be doing two POWER HOURS (11:30am-1:00pm and 4:00pm-5:30pm) where you can drop off your last minute item and financial donations, and we’ll even hook you up with a free boxed lunch from Goodcents just for dropping off a donation!
Ready to join the fun? Scroll down to learn more about each team’s charities and see their wishlists!
