Within Your Reach “Girls’ Night Out” donates $960
Jul 27, 2008
Within Your Reach is mainly a business dedicating to helping people get their closets organized. But on June 19th, they just decided to have a good time, and give back to the community while they were at it, with a Girls Night Out. Within Your Reach’s “Girls Night Out” was co-sponsored by Marion Street Cheese and Wine Market—with all the proceeds going to the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry. Over 100 participants enjoyed tastings of cheese and wine as well as manicures, massages and advise from personal stylists. By the end of the night, Within Your Reach had raised $960 to donate to the Pantry!
Debbie Figel, Office/Marketing co-Manager, was thrilled with the results. “We were hoping to maybe raise $500,” she confessed. “When we did the final count, we were just blown away!” Figel presented the check to a beaming Kathy Russell, OPRF Food Pantry Operations Manager, during a distribution of food to clients.
A $500 certificate to Within Your Reach was raffled off and won by Melissa Budak from LaGrange. Within Your Reach co-owner, Stacy Schuler Wettstein, presented the certificate to Budak.
Within Your Reach Office/Marketing co-Manager Laura Reardon was the person who decided to donate the proceeds to the Pantry. Thanks, Laura! She can be contacted at laura@orgwithinreach.com. For more information on Within Your Reach, check out their website Within Your Reach
