Guess How Many Gumdrops & School Craft Sale A family in Southwest Wales in 2013 held some fundraising activities at their son’s school. Their son did a guess how many gumdrops are in the jar and raised £32! The family also sold craft bits that they made as part of their new craft venture, Cinnamon and Timbit and sold £57 worth. This provided the family with the opportunity to speak to many parents and teachers about PC.	Annual PC Garage Sale The McGrath, Filoso & Sands families hold an annual garage/yard sale as their PC Awareness Kick off over Memorial Day weekend. In 2013 during their 2nd sale and despite stormy, cold and very windy weather at the beach, they were able to raise almost $300 during the 2-day garage/yard sale.
