Keep Grace in your Spirits
I am launching a new campaign called “Keep Grace in your Spirits” and I have created really lovely collection bins to put in liquor stores locally (or even not so locally). The idea not only sprang from my personal disease of curing Rett, but from Bonnet Liquors which is at the top of my road. They have had a beat up (not at all lovely) old bin at their cash register since last spring. Every 6 weeks or so, Paul (owner) dumps off a brown bag full o’ cash. It is wonderfully simple and uplifting. My personal theory is that it may feel a bit like penance when someone splurges on a bottle but follows the urge to share some of the change to sweet Grace – thus keeping “Grace in your Spirits.”
Please watch for them when you visit a liquor store, and if there isn’t one there…maybe you could ask if they are interested in keeping “Grace in their Spirits.” I will even customize the bin for their store. Anyone who has a liquor store that may be interested in participating please let me know and I will make up a bin asap. There is nothing involved, other than providing a space to place a bin on the countertop and let Grace do the rest of the work. I may need some elves to help pick up the money intermittently if I can’t get to them all, but I assure you there is nothing more gratifying than dumping out a bin of much needed money for Race for Grace and knowing you lent a hand in finding the cure that someday will grace us all.
Love,
Tara
