Donor of the Month
August 2010
Tropical Smoothie Café
On August 5, the last night of “Tropical Smoothie Café Week” at Camp Sunshine, representatives from Tropical Smoothie Café presented our founder Anna Gould with a whopper of a check in the amount $310,000 to help support family sponsorships and family transportation. Tropical Smoothie raised the funds through their annual National Flip Flop Day promotional campaign, which set a record for the event this year, and brings their three-year total raised for Camp Sunshine to $710,000.
On hand to present the check from Tropical Smoothie Café corporate headquarters were Jim Valentino, Chief Operating Officer & President; and Barbara Valentino, Vice president of Marketing & Communications. Jim and Barbara were joined by a remarkable and caring team of Tropical Smoothie Café area developers and store owners who spent the whole week at Camp volunteering.
“Everyone in the Tropical Smoothie Café community, from franchisees to area developers to employees, is ecstatic about the success of this year’s National Flip Flop Day celebration, and all of us are truly grateful to our loyal and wonderful customers who donated money to this worthy cause,” said Jim Valentino. “As we continue to surpass preceding years in the funds we raise, we look forward to reaching the $1 million mark next year in total funds raised.”
Camp Sunshine is proud of this special partnership with Tropical Smoothie Café and appreciates the opportunity to help more families with this generous support..
