How to Donate to the Chick Ball
We're getting calls from individuals (and political candidates) who want to donate money to the Chick Ball, and thus the Center for Violence Prevention. You can make checks out directly to the Center for Violence Prevention and either drop them by the JFP office or bring them Thursday night to the Chick Ball. If you want to donate art, door prizes or munchies for the food sponsor table, call Ronni Mott at 601.362.6121 ext. 0, or just drop by the office 9 to 6. 2727 Old Canton Road, Suite 224. (Please drop donations by 2 p.m. Thursday. After that, you need to bring items/checks directly to the Red Room.)
Also, if you're a political candidate, the secretary of state's office says you can donate from campaign funds as long as you follow your campaign reporting guidelines. And if you donate, we will definitely announce it at the Chick Ball! Donate a lot, and we'll say your name a bunch of times!
Thanks everyone for this amazing outpouring. The phone is ringing off the hook today. Cheers, all.
