Spring Fling Success!

Our annual Spring Fling Fundraiser was a wonderful success this past weekend, with outdoor fun for the whole family! โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒธ Our friends and neighbors enjoyed our community celebration of spring, complete with tasty baked goods, plants for sale and pick-up, sing-along tunes from mama Tyleena, raffle prizes generously donated from local businesses, butterfly crafts from recycled materials, and more! ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ˜„๐ŸŽ‰

We couldnโ€™t have done it without our member families lending a hand- from set up, to baking treats for the bake sale, to tabling, and more, we are so thankful for all the help we received in making this event a fun and fruitful time! ๐Ÿ’š

Many thanks to Shoofly Vegan Bakery and Cookie MonsterZ for donating cookies and pastries! ๐Ÿง๐Ÿช Check out their tasty options next time youโ€™re craving something sweet! Thank you to everyone who ordered plants through our plant sale, too- our annual fundraiser sale with New Leaf Greenhouse is another opportunity to support Swapnplay. ๐ŸŒฑ

Our fabulous raffle prizes made for an exciting prize drawing! ๐Ÿฅณ Congratulations to our lucky winners! Thank you for donating, Grasshopper, a children’s store, Beanstalk Children’s Resale Clothing, Barefoot Books, GnomewerksPDX, Equal Exchange, 3 Tracks Music, La Paloma PDX, Portland Audubon, and @vegangreg (for the Timbers Army tickets!) ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ˜

Our community members were hard at work the weekend before Spring Fling, updating and refreshing our outdoor play areas and native plant zones. Stay tuned for a more in-depth post about the new wildlife stewardship features in our gold-certified Backyard Habitat areas soon! ๐Ÿชต๐Ÿ„๐Ÿชบ๐ŸŒฟ
