On December 7, Twice Uponfundraiser staff2014 a Time hosted a holiday concert, along with a bake and craft sale.  A great time was had by all.  Voices in Harmony had us up on our feet and waving our arms as we sang a hilarious version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. We snapped up beautiful one-of-a-kind crafts for special people on our gift list while we devoured addictive homemade toffee.  And over $2350 was raised for Twice Upon a Time.

The money raised will help Twice Upon a Time achieve our goals for 2015:

  • To increase awareness of our services among families with young children
  • To explore a variety of partnerships with organizations serving families with young children
  • To strengthen our volunteer base

The fundraiser was a huge success thanks to our incredible volunteers who worked day and night to plan, organize and orchestrate the event. Twice Upon a Time would also like to thank the following contributors for their support:
