Wheels for a Girl on Wheels!
Fundraiser for Nicole Brown
Saturday, April 23, 2016 from 12-4 pm
Parking lot at 8070 Soquel Drive, Aptos
Hi everyone! Nicole is hosting another fundraiser to help finance a new car that’s lower to the ground so she can transfer easily and install hand controls in order
to drive independently.
Still in a wheelchair since being paralyzed in a hit and run accident in June 2015, she is working on strength and conditioning to keep her body in the best possible shape. Nicole goes to Physical Therapy four times a week and the costs run a little over $1,000 each week – it is not covered by insurance.
She’ll be hosting a “street fair” where small businesses can reserve a table to display and sell their wares! Armitage Wines and Cantine will be donating a percentage of their proceeds that day and guests will be able to shop local small business products while sipping delicious wine.
This event is still in the making, but here are the basics so far:
* Vendor entry fee $50 – 6’ table provided. In addition, Nicole is asking for 50% of your proceeds that day. Set up from 10-12.
Event begins at 12 noon.
* There will be a silent auction for donated items as well.
* Music and kids’ face painting
* Bake Sale and Juice Bar
There has been a great response so far with creative fundraising ideas and commitments from some well-known local artists and businesses. This will be a fun community event! If interested please contact Nicole at Nicole_mb@yahoo.com
or Adele Talmadge at talmadgi@gmail.com or call 831-588-5822.
