Local sports mom posts: Please help my son raise money for his Toledo Football team...

Toledo Youth Football fundraiser features Otis Spunkmeyer ready-to-bake frozen pre-formed cookie dough. My neighbor Alex tells me this team needs to raise $8,000 for uniforms and helmets - which seems like a lot, until you realize the critical importance of helmets.

So, although I don’t eat cookies, I believe in helmets. That’s reason enough to bestow famously delicious cookies on my Significant Otter (who DOES eat cookies.*)

Support healthy craniums.

*Shameless plug: The Otter is a connoisseur of delectable baked goods, as befits his upcoming holiday season personna…)

Long-time Toledo resident and past Park Board member created this event to help support park improvements. Sadly, Esther passed away this past December. We would like to keep this walk going in her honor. All proceeds from this event will be used to install a rv dump station in the park.

Participants will travel along the park's 1/4 mile track earning beads for each completed lap. A bbq and raffle drawing will follow.

Registration forms for participants are at Toledo City Hall. Early Bird registration ends September 6th to guarantee a t-shirt size.

If you have any questions or would like to sponsor or donate to this event please call Jill at Toledo City Hall, (360)864-4564 or cityoftoledo@toledotel.com. Forms may be picked up at City Hall during business hours.
