2012-13 Annual Campaign
The familiar Community Chest Campaign Goal thermometer.
Last month, the Community Chest kicked off its 2012-2013 Annual Campaign. To date, over 500 community members have contributed more than $210,000 towards our goal of $650,000. This represents 6% participation from a community of approximately 8000 households. We are excited to be off to a strong start towards our goal and look forward to benefit from widespread community support to meet that goal. The Community Chest is committed to financially and educationally supporting the local agencies that provide vital service to our neighbors across the demographic spectrum in a multitude of ways.

The Pumpkin Roll & Family Fest was a great success!!
 Nearly 100 children and their parents braved the pre-Hurricane Sandy rain to enjoy an afternoon of festive pumpkin fun! The children began the afternoon with a Halloween costume parade, where astronauts, pirates, princesses, ninjas and more proudly marched and waved to the crowd. The pumpkin roll was popular, with the children being much more adept rollers than their adult counterparts! The sack race, bowling, shot put (aka pumpkin smash!), face paint and tattoos were also busy areas. Several agencies that the Community Chest works with were present and available to provide information and answer questions about their work.
 
We would like to thank our corporate sponsors, Cambridge Savings Bank, Cambridge Trust, The DiGiovanni Family, Fritz & Gigi Children's Shop, Middlesex Bank and Verrill Farm for providing support to make this event possible. In addition, we would like to thank the following businesses for providing food, beverages or raffle prizes for the pumpkin roll: Concord Bookshop, Concord Hand Designs, Concord Outfitters, Concord Tea Cakes, Concord Toyshop, Dabbler's, Debra's Natural Gourmet, Discovery Museums of Acton, Dunkin Donuts, Firefly, Helen's, NOA Gallery, Reasons to be Cheerful, West Concord 5 & 10.
We look forward to seeing you again next year!
