Give up your old stuff for Buttons to Hope!

F.A.R.M.ers Jane, Jet and Shiela participated in a group garage sale on Aug 30, 2009 at the Mabini Hall, Quezon City Memorial Circle to raise funds for Buttons to Hope.

The stuff sold were mostly donated by Terrie Salah from the US. Jane and Jet also gave up clothes, shoes and other personal things for the cause.

The activity was a big hit. More than half of the items were sold. The F.A.R.M.ers were able to collect a total of P4,940 from the 7-hour sale.

Previous collection from online sales amounts to P2,240. The total amount gathered from the Buttons to Hope auction is P7,180. A little more effort and the money can already fund one semester for one Baao scholar.

We encourage other F.A.R.M.ers to collect old and used stuff as we plan to hold more garage sales in the coming months. We hope to organize a bigger group next time. Because more is always merrier. And more sales mean more funds for Buttons to Hope.

Thank you F.A.R.M.ers for the commitment that goes deeper and deeper. God bless Buttons to Hope and worthy F.A.R.M.ers like you!
