The Knockouts Need Your Help to Help Puerto Rico
Since their founding 21 years ago, the Knollwood Knockouts have used their fundraising efforts to help those in need. Previous recipients of their efforts include Honor Flight, The American Heart Association, The Waukesha County Food Pantry, Saddlebred Rescue, ASAW, and ASHA.
This year, we're reaching a little further. The club recognizes the continued hardships being suffered by the people of Puerto Rico in the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Maria. The club made contact with friends in Puerto Rico and are collecting items requested to help them through their rebuilding process. Many are still without power, and every day necessities are in short supply.
Please help the Knockouts with a donation of any of the items our friends in Puerto Rico have requested below:
Calorie dense non perishable food such as tuna or salmon in PACKETS, dry beans, granola bars, or nuts.
Baby formula and diapers
Tarps
We're collecting donations in the show barn lounge through the Knockout holiday party on December 16. Shortly after, we'll box the items up and send them via US Mail to Puerto Rico. If you'd like to help with the boxing effort, please contact either Ann or Nancy to join the party!
We ask that you purchase non-canned food, as it will weigh less and take up less space in our care packages.
We know the holidays are busy, so if you would like to help but don't have time to shop, we've done the research for you! The Unidos Fund from the Hispanic Federation is sending 100% of donations to Puerto Rico relief. You can read more about it here.
Please feel free to give any Knockout member a check made out to "Unidos Fund, Hispanic Federation", and we'll include it with our other donations. All donations to Unidos are 100% tax deductible.
Your donations will be a welcome gift to brighten the lives of the people of Puerto Rico during the holidays. Thank you in advance for your generosity that will help the Knockouts make the world a better place.
