Hop for HOPS 5K
Sunday, June 8, 2014 |
There's really no other way to say it... Wow. What an incredible day. Thank you to everyone who came out for our 1st annual Hop for HOPS 5K/1K. Whether you were running the race, cheering on friends and family, or part of the small army of volunteers, this day was a great reminder of what makes our town so special. The children of Halifax are so fortunate to have so many people who truly care about them. Our mission still has some way to go... but thanks to all your steps we are now one HUGE step closer to giving our kids the playground they truly deserve. Halifax Massachusetts you really are a great place to live! |
Halifax in Lights Lemonade Stand
Saturday, June 28, 2014
Friends of HOPS would like to thank everyone for making our lemonade stand such a great success yesterday at Halifax in Lights. We all still smell like citrus!
A couple thank you notes:
First a huge shout out to Halifax Eagle Scout Ryan Kelly who raised money for both his Eagle Scout project - new giant benches at the playground - and the HOPS playground itself. If you've never met him trust us... he's an impressive young man. Also a FANTASTIC job by the Halifax in Lights committee. A day like that takes a TON of planning and fundraising efforts and the fireworks committee hit a home run. This town is so lucky to have them!
Even more reasons why its great to live in Halifax!
