The
early morning hours of the day looked less than promisning as
black clouds and rain threatened to wash out the 2007 event. As
volunteers and other church members gathered inside for Sunday
worship, rain and stormy weather prevailed. Just as the service
ended, the sun came out and what looked like a less than successful
day instead turned out to be the most successful of the events
to date with over $54,360 raised for the 2007 recipients. |
The
crowds came and enjoyed a wonderful day of great food, amazing
prizes, games and the joy of knowing their particiaption would
once again be beneficial in alleviating the financial burdens
resulting from necesssary and extreme medical expenses for community
families. Every nickel, dime, quarter and dollar raised is donated
to the families selected each year. In six years COB has raised
over $175,000 toward these efforts. |
One
of the highlights of the COB BLOCK PARTY each year is the Mega-Raffle.
In 2007 the grand prize was a Harley-Davidson motorcycle valued
at over $12,000. The second prize was a Disney vacation for 4
and the third prize $500 cash. The winner of the 2007 Harley-Davidson
grand prize was Ed Schrader of Quakertown, the Disney Vacation
went to Richard Klenk of Quakertown, and the $500 cash prize went
to Marsha Hudson of Center Valley |
