We started something simple

It’s called the $2 Club . TEAM-Up and the Benevolence Committee rely on a few basic tools to keep things running—like a phone line and Zoom for meetings and support. Nothing big… but it all adds up. So instead of asking for a lot, we’re asking for a little. 👉 $2 a month. If enough of us chip in, we can keep everything running smoothly and focus on what actually matters—helping our brothers and sisters when they need it.

This Poker game was run Tournament style so that all of our members could play. In the end, enough cash was raised for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes.  The Benevolence Committee kept a percentage and also ran a raffle on the side. Altogether, we raised over $400 in one night. Going forward, it is good to remember that the more people play, the bigger the prizes will be. Below are some pictures from that night.
