Phonathon
November 9-13, 2009
"This was my 4th year volunteering and once again I enjoyed it. I typically volunteer with a handful of dads/friends from the neighborhood. We enjoy it and have a little bet on who can raise the most donations, which adds an extra element of fun to the evening! It is a pretty easy because most people are interested in helping or at least learning more about BSF. At the end of the night, it makes us feel good that we supported a great cause!"
