The Lazzeri TMA Fundraiser
Paula Lazzeri


After hearing the many pleas for raising money from Sandy, I decided it was time to get to work on my own fundraiser. On June 28, 2003, I held a dinner and raffle fundraiser to benefit the TMA. With the help of my friends and family, we put together a plated pasta dinner and charged a set fee. In addition to dinner, we raffled off several items, including Mariner tickets, concert tickets, a kid's toy basket, coffee basket, and note cards. Most of the items raffled were donated by local companies. It was a wonderful evening spending time with all my family and friends while, at the same time, helping a cause so near and dear. Overall, the evening brought in over $4500. The entire evening was very easy to organize and my family and friends were thrilled to be able to help. They were also glad to have the opportunity to support our Association.
