Fellow McKinney Young Professionals! 
On June 13, 2017 we kicked off our annual Christmas in July fundraising effort for CASA of Collin County at Tupps Brewery! I’m happy to report that we raised over $5,600 for CASA, and had over 140 people attend this great event! This dollar figure is $1,400 higher than our total amount raised in 2016! Thanks to all of our sponsors who made this great event a reality for the kids of CASA.
If you would like to continue our momentum towards the annual fundraising goal of $10,000, there are several ways to help.
- Donate to CASA of Collin County directly via this DONATION LINK. (Remember to select Christmas in July 2017 in the Donation Category.)
- Provide a new unwrapped present or gift card for a child in need via this DONATION LINK.
- In addition to donating directly to CASA and providing toys or gift cards, join us all day on Tues., July 18th at McAlister’s Deli in McKinney for lunch and dinner. A portion of the proceeds from all sales on that day will be donated to our Christmas in July fundraiser.
- MYP Members have the chance to not only donate but to have some laughs along with that! Register for a special MYP event at McKinney’s own comedy club – The Comedy Arena – on Wed., July 19, 8:00 p.m. Half of all entry fees will go to CASA. .LIMITED SEATING! REGISTER NOW!
- Contribute to the CASA Christmas in July gofundme account HERE.
- Our fundraising efforts will continue at the Chamber’s Quarterly Luncheon on Thurs., July 27th. Feel free to bring a monetary and/or toy donation to the luncheon, and the MYP Advisory Committee will also be on hand to help you donate with your credit card right on the spot! Registration for a limited number of comp tickets for MYP members will open soon.
Each month we highlight one of your Advisory Committee members! This month’s highlight is your Civic Duties Chair – Christie Connell.
