Spring Fling Success!

Our annual Spring Fling Fundraiser was a wonderful success this past weekend, with outdoor fun for the whole family! 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!

We couldn’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!

Many thanks to Shoofly Vegan Bakery and Cookie MonsterZ for donating cookies and pastries! Check out their tasty options next time you’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.

Our fabulous raffle prizes made for an exciting prize drawing! 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!)

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!
