Giving Christmas to every child

Tilly's Christmas for Kids Charity has been working hard for more than five years to provide less-fortunate children and families in the community with a "Tilly's Christmas for Kids" by working with Seneca County Family and Children First Council to identify people who are not receiving assistance from other community agencies. Tilly's Christmas for Kids has scheduled a fundraiser for Aug. 19 at the Chandelier Community Event Center downtown. Tickets, which include dinner and dessert, can be purchased by calling 419-937-7593. They are $30 each, or a table of eight for $200. Attendees must be at least 18 years old. Entertainment will be provided by the band "Spoiled Rotten," and many raffles, drawings and silent auctions will occur. The proceeds from the annual fundraiser are used to purchase items from the wish list of each child and family, which are presented to them just before Christmas when Santa visits for a night of fun and fellowship. Tilly's Christmas for Kids Charity is a nonprofit organization, and cash donations are also accepted to further assist its goals of reaching the needy families of Seneca County.
