Pie Face Fundraiser
What do Laurel & Hardy, Lucille Ball, the cast of Monty Python, and King Charles III have in common? They’ve all publicly taken pies to the face and there’s pictures to prove it!
With your help, we’d like to put some Eastside YMCA staff in this esteemed category, all in the name of raising funds for our Highmark Walk team. We invite you to donate to one or more of our staff participants’ pages, Any staff members who receive $100 or more in donations will be Pied in the Face, in front of a crowd of onlookers, with video rolling. The staff member receiving the MOST funds will get a special pie – cherries, sprinkles…you get the idea.
If you happen to be incredibly generous and donate a straight $100 to a staff member, YOU get to be the one to Pie the staff member in the face!
The Great Pie-ing will take place at Eastside YMCA on a June date TBA.
Funds raised for the Highmark Walk team will go towards our Chronic Disease Prevention programs – last year, grants and donations to these programs helped over 140 of our neighbors right here in Erie receive help preventing Type 2 Diabetes, monitoring and controlling their hypertension, improving their balance, or quitting the use of nicotine products. So “improved community health” may not be the first thing you think of when you see a pie, but maybe it will be after this event!
