iBOP Makes Donation To Two Local Groups After Fundraiser
Posted
Staff Report-
The local not-for-profit group Indiana Business Opportunity Partners (iBOP) holds several events throughout the year to support area charities.
iBOP recently hosted the 10th Annual Winter Wonderland Charity Bazaar and Quarter Paddle for Beloved: Not Forgotten, although additional funds were raised and donated to Combined Community Services (CCS) through the sale of raffle basket tickets.
iBOP presented a check for $1,510 to Beloved: Not Forgotten. It was made possible with the help of all the vendors, iBOP members and guests.
Beloved: Not Forgotten is attempting to bring awareness to human trafficking. To learn more about Beloved: Not Forgotten, contact Dawnna Plummer at 574-265-7966 or visit www.belovednotforgotten.net or the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/belovednotforgotten
iBOP also chose to partner with CCS with a donation from the raffle basket proceeds from the event. Each iBOP member donated an item from their direct sales business to the raffle basket. Patrons purchased raffle basket tickets for the opportunity to win the basket valued at over $150.
iBOP was able to present a check for $195 to CCS.
