Awww man, I got shut out. Looks like Rake & Run spots are even harder to secure than Beer Festival Tickets!

Thanks to all that expressed interest in R&R. As of today (Tuesday) we have reached the limit of homes we can get to. Thank you for your support!

Extra kudos for actually using rakes instead of the non- stop, annoying leaf blowers.

This is my favorite fundraiser of the year! Have the kids scheduled to come to us on Saturday. They work amazingly fast and are very nice.

I would encourage you all to try to sign up and to be as generous as you can with your donation. Would much rather give these kids the cash than have to hire a yard crew to get rid of our leaves. You also might get a great post card from the group when they are in DC.

This is a super idea. What is the usual donation amount?

Agree with the Mr. B. accolades. Basically, we need to have a referendum on the next ballot not allowing Mr. B. to retire.

+1 on Mr. B being a decatur treasure and I don’t have kid! I have seen him teach and have dealt with him and his kids in fund raising efforts…what a “class” act!

this is a great project led by one of our city schools’ treasures, Mr. Billingsly.
had the kids rake our yard and clean the gutters a couple of years ago–they did an outstanding job.
