Our annual Santa Bus event is on the calendar again, set for Friday, December 6, 2019! Last year's event brought in over THREE TIMES the attendees from the previous year. By far the largest (and coldest) Santa Bus event to date. And the best part is we raised $2,500 for families connected with the ‘Parenting Children with Special Needs’ charitable organization!
Parenting Children with Special Needs, Inc. (PCWSN Charity) is a Missouri 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of families who have a child with challenges associated with a medical diagnosis.  The holiday season can be especially difficult for these families, so our Santa Bus event was created to raise money in an effort to help lighten their burden.
We invite you and your family to come enjoy this FREE event and help us raise money for these precious families! We'll have plenty of great raffle items and a donation bucket. If you can't attend but want to make a differ! ...

Each year, our friends at Sandy's Restaurant make it their mission to donate 10% of their sales for 6 WEEKS to help meet specific needs of the amazing people in our community.  Their focus for 2019 is to raise $15,000 to pay off local student lunch debt and help participants in the weekend 'Meals on Wheels' program.
Premium Realty Group is so honored to sponsor this wonderful, community-centered event!  
The big kick-off is Saturday, October 12, so stop by Sandy's Restaurant between 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM to get your car "striped" to show support, see the DARE car, meet & greet with local celebrities, see a car cruise, and more.  Oh, and enjoy a hearty meal, of course.
Remember, when you dine at Sandy's between Saturday, October 12 and Saturday, November 23, you're giving back to those in need.  So gather your family and friends and head on over to Sandy's as often as you can during those 6 weeks to help them meet that wonderful goal for our community!
