From Nancy Anderson, Easter Egg Hunt Chairperson:
Monetary donations are always welcome and will be used to purchase prizes for the children. Donations can be anything from a filled Easter basket, stuffed animal, game or toy. We also accept gift certificates that would be appropriate for a child or family for restaurants, toys, bowling, miniature golf, etc.
A donation of your time is also needed and appreciated. Many volunteers are needed the day of the Easter Egg Hunt. Feel free to bring family members and friends to help. Please be at Friendship Park by 8:30 am. We are cleaned up and out of there before noon. Some help is needed to sort and bag toys prior to the Egg Hunt. Five cars, trucks or SUVs are needed the morning of the Egg Hunt to move the prizes from Alternative Plumbing to Friendship Park Community Center at 8:00 am.
We will be meeting at Alternative Plumbing on March 15 and March 22 at 4 pm. (March 15 ONLY, vans, trucks and SUVs are needed at Merchant’s Landing Mini Storage to move items from the storage unit to Alternative Plumbing for sorting.) If you can help out in any way, contact me at the number below.
The PPBA Easter Egg Hunt is one of the oldest and largest in the Toledo area. It is because of your generous support over the years that it is such a success. We have had up to 1,000 people attending in past years. Over 700 prizes and handouts are given out including candy from our very own Easter Bunny. Over 1,600 plastic eggs filled with candy are spread throughout the park. Every child walks away with a prize. There are several Grand Prizes hidden in eggs in each of the five age groups. If you would like to donate a Grand Prize such as a bike, wagon, an electronic gift, a gift certificate or a savings bond, that would also be much appreciated. You can put your business card with the donation to advertise that you donated the prize.
If you have any questions or need a donation to be picked up, please call me at the number below. Donations can also be brought to the PPBA Dinner Meeting on March 21 or dropped at Rite Aid, 4869 N.

Sincerely,
Nancy Anderson
