Food/Supply Drive for Those in Alabama

My wonderful agency, PrimeGroup Insurance, is teaming up with the Palm Beach County Gator Club to help collect supplies for everyone who was affected by the storms that devastatingly raged through Alabama.  Please read below and stop by our office to contribute to this great cause!!!

 

"RIVALS ON THE FIELD, UNITED OFF"

There is no better rivalry than when the University of Florida Gators line up to face the Alabama Crimson Tide. The history, the passion, the fan base, it is truly a southern tradition. 

While we may be rivals on the field, this Spring the Palm Beach County Gator Club is reaching out to stand united off the field with our friends from Alabama.  Over the past week we have all witnessed the devastation that has taken place in Alabama.  Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected. As Gators, we are familiar with the phrase "in all kinds of weather we all stick together." Well Gators, the Palm Beach County Gator Club is announcing a "Call To Action" and encouraging all Gators far and wide to unite and "stick together" with our friends from Alabama. 

Starting on May 5, 2011 through May 20, 2011 the Palm Beach County Gator Club will be holding a "United Rivals" support drive. We have enlisted the help of our official Palm Beach County Gator Club viewing locations as well as other local businesses (listed below with their respective address).  At each donation location, the Palm Beach County Gator Club has setup a collection box. We are asking all Gators and their families, friends, co-workers and others to stop by one of the viewing locations and drop off any of the following supplies:

        a.  Gatorade & Bottled Water

        b.  Canned and/or Non-Perishable Goods

        c.  New and Unused Blankets, Sheets. Towels and Pillows

        d.  New and Unused toiletries and hygiene items

        e.  New and Unused Pet Supplies

        f.  New and Unused Baby Supplies

On May 21, 2011, which is International Gator Day (as explained below), the Palm Beach County Gator Club will host a "United Rivals" support drive wrap-up party.  This event, which is free and open to the public, will serve as the culmination point of this support drive. We will spend the day sorting and packaging up all of the supplies collected, socialize among friends and make a last-call for collections. THE LOCATION AND TIME OF THIS EVENT WILL BE PROVIDED AT A LATER DATE.

This "United Rivals" support drive is being held in conjunction with International Gator Day.  From London to Seattle to New York to Palm Beach, Gators Clubs® from all around the world will come together on International Gator Day to coordinate community service events.  This year, International Gator Day will be held on May 21, 2011. This day of service will utilize the size and spirit of the Gator Nation to help positively impact local communities. This year, the Palm Beach County Gator Club will expand its efforts from impacting local communities to positively impacting the Alabama community.  

As a 501(C)(3) charitable organization, the Palm Beach County Gator Club is unable to raise money for other organizations, so we are unable to solicit and/or accept any monetary donations for this "United Rivals" support drive. However, if you would like to make a donation to support those affected by the devastation or learn more about how you can help, please visit http://www.redcross.org/, http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/, or http://www.servealabama.gov/.

We understand that this "United Rivals" support drive will certainly not address all of the needs and issues of those in Alabama, but it is our hope that it provides a stepping stone of support that they can build upon as they rebuild their homes, business and lives.

ATTENTION SPONSORS: The Palm Beach County Gator Club is also looking for a few good sponsors to help support the "United Rivals" support drive. Once all supplies are sorted and packaged, the Palm Beach County Gator Club intends to ship such supplies to our friends in Alabama. If you or your company would be interested in making a monetary donation to help fund such shipment, please contact us. Special marketing and advertising opportunities are available in connection with each sponsorship, as the Palm Beach County Gator Club supports those who support us.
