BRY Yard Sale Thank You PW SM FB 9.26.2023
We want to send out a very special 𝕋ℍ𝔸ℕ𝕂 𝕐𝕆𝕌 to Adam Conrad and The Adam Conrad Team – Perry Wellington Realty for your support in supplying a truck for our Yard Sale! We would not have made it though the event without your help.
Our 𝔸𝕟𝕟𝕦𝕒𝕝 𝕐𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝕊𝕒𝕝𝕖, which benefits the Scholarship Program at the Blair Regional YMCA, saw a record turnout and raised almost $9,700 to aid members of the #BlairCounty #community!
We also want to thank all of the volunteers and staff who made this year’s Yard Sale possible! It takes dedication and determination to pull these events off and we have the most amazing team of people surrounding us at the #BRY!

“Just look for the Ward trucks…”
 
That’s what you’ll hear from the #BRY staff and the #community any time the Annual Yard Sale rolls around.
 
Our heartfelt thank you goes to our friends at Ward Transport & Logistics Corp. for their continued support and kindness for providing the Blair Regional YMCA with the trailers to conduct our Pretzel and Yard Sale fundraiser. The Ward Family has always been a staple in our community and in our ability to be BETTER TOGETHER.
