Dec. 4, 2015—Autocrafters CARSTAR Collision (Bensalem, Pa.) rallied local businesses to raise $1,200 for a Lancaster cancer patient during October Breast Cancer Awareness month through a fundraising bingo event.
The fundraising event, which was held Oct. 28, took place at Select Jewelers of Feasterville. The event, Jewelry Bingo, was classic bingo with a jewelry prize for having five in a row or four corners. Andrea Cocci Emig, fundraiser recipient with stage 4 cancer, was facetimed in from her home.
“Giving back to someone in the community and bringing the community together to do it is a recipe for just making it happen.” Said Dianna Yurko of Autocrafters CARSTAR Collision, corporate sponsor of events. “Offering local businesses the opportunity to get involved brings merchants together, pooling their resources and sharing budgets. This is the new B2B relationship marketing platform. It’s ‘live local buy local’ gone to the new level, give local! Our friends at Select Jewelers in Feasterville, Overstock Outlet, Edible Arrangements, Bucks County Breast Friends Support Group, AOH Division 88 Officer Danny Boyle, and residents of Feasterville came to help.”
