A video from the April 5th event, which served over 80 households and raised money for community & international service projects.

The numbers are in.  The verdict?  The Carrollton-Farmers Branch Rotary Club's Spring 2014 SHRED-A-THON fundraiser was a smashing success.  Shredding boxes and boxes of documents from over 80 area households and businesses, the fundraising event raised over $3,000.  The CFB Rotary Club partnered with Keep Carrollton Beautiful to raise the money, which will go toward assisting both local, as well as international, service projects.  Some facts & figures from the event:

  • 84 customers (households & local businesses)
  • 32 volunteers (18 Rotarians & spouses, 8 Interact, 6 Rotaract)
  • 95 hours volunteered (60 Rotarians & spouses, 23 Interact, 12 Rotaract)

The event was such a success that CFB Rotary will be looking into partnering with Keep Carrollton Beautiful once again in the Fall.  In the meantime, please save all your sensitive documents going forward for shredding at the next event!
