Alumni > Summer Staff Alumni Reunion & Fundraiser
April 5, 2008
Washington DCCome join us as we gather as many staffers from across the country as possible to meet in DC to share experiences, catch up, laugh ... and have an ASP fundraiser with people who care and know first-hand just how important ASP's ministry is to families, staff, and volunteers. It'll be more fun than an early morning hardware run, more exciting than throwing toilets at the dump, and more memorable than a sunset at the Breaks! Proceeds will go to the Cup of Cold Water Fund which supports plumbing and electrical projects and the Carolynn Bailey Scholarship Fund that helps makes the volunteer experience accessible for all.
Register today for the ASP Summer Staff Alumni Reunion & Fundraiser. Can't wait to see you there!
Can't make it to the reunion? Consider giving a special donation to help us meet our goal of raising $10,000. Click on Donate Now and select "Alumni Reunion - CCW" or "Alumni Reunion - Scholarship" from the drop-down list of funds.
