Hello all you wonderful Bar Bouncers; there are over 900 of YOU!! Wow, there’s going to be a lot of people bouncing around Soulard on October 5th. Before the fun begins, there are a few steps of preparation.

1. Read the Bar Bounce 2019 FAQs and make sure all of your team members have read and signed the Bar Bounce Waiver 2019
2. Make sure your team captain knows they have to pick up your packet (including t-shirts, route, etc.) from Great Grizzly Bear on Wednesday (10/2) or Thursday (10/3) from 5 to 8 P.M.
   • These are the ONLY days and time slots you will be able to pick up your teams t-shirts and packet. Packets and t-shirts will NOT be available on the day of the Bar Bounce. No exceptions!
3. On the day of the event, go straight to the first bar on your route. Sometimes, it helps to meet your group before and all come together.
4. Don’t forget to use #BarBounce2019 for all of your posts and photos! We can’t wait to see everyone out there!

P.S. – It’s supposed to be absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather!

In the past two weeks, Angels’ Arms has been invited to FOUR check presentation ceremonies! All of these amazing local businesses have supported Angels’ Arms through profit shares or grants. We truly cannot thank our community enough for the love they show our families. We couldn’t do what we do without their help.

Cardinals Care

The Cup

Kiwanis Major Gift Award

With our largest fundraiser only two months away, we want to keep everything smooth sailing. This year, we are trying to get our silent auction baskets done early, but we could use some help!

 

Do you frequent Home Goods, Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx or Target?

We need items to complete our baking and home decor baskets. Anything from kitchen utensils, pots/pans, serving platters/dishes, dish towels, etc. would be a great addition. Also, any home decor items such as frames, candles, throw blankets/pillow and lamps would work. Check the clearance aisles!

Are you animal lover and frequent local pet stores/boutiques?

Help us build awesome doggy/kitty baskets with items such as leashes, bowls, food, tags, crates, accessories, grooming certificates, etc.

Not a shopper but you are a season ticket holder of Cardinals, Blues, Mizzou, Billikens tickets?

We could use tickets to complete some of our sports baskets. If you are willing to donate a pair of your tickets for the 2019/2020 seasons, we would LOVE that! All donations are tax deductible.

 

For my ideas for what we need for baskets, click the Basket Theme Ideas 2019 PDF and peruse the list of basket ideas until you find one that’s right for you! The deadline to enter the raffle by donating anything to the auction is September 20th! Please have any and all contributions to us by that date in order to ensure the item(s) will be included in the baskets! Can’t get to the store to look for items? No worries! We have an Amazon Wish List for items we need for the auction; just a couple clicks, and you’ve helped more than you can imagine!

 

If you are able to get any of these items for us, contact Maria Chandler at 314-842-8400 or maria@angelsarms.org to coordinate drop off/pick up times.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
