The Central West Coast Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association (CWC-FPRA) recently hosted an event called “Operation Gratitude” raising funds where a portion of the proceeds were donated to the Family Network on Disabilities of Manasota (FND), a local non-profit organization that assists families of children with disabilities and special needs to go “from Heartache to Hope – One Family at a Time.”
FND participates in the annual Hunsader Farms Pumpkin Festival as one of the non-profits who works the event in exchange for monetary donations. This year’s fundraising goals were a hardship with multiple days of rain. “With the rain, we lost three days to raise money during the festival,” said FND Executive Director Mary Smith. “I’m so grateful to CWC and truly believe things happen for a reason.”
The Central West Coast Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association meets monthly for professional development luncheons and networking. Visit www.cwcfpra.com for more information.
