The Red Team Takes the Plunge

The Gullotta House Headless Horseman Plunge will once again be held at Kingsland Point Park, 299 Palmer Avenue in Sleepy Hollow on Saturday, February 18, 2023 at 2 p.m. Last year the Red Team, which included Woody, Beaker, Turbo, Tattoo and Schlitz, helped raise more than $2,000 for brother Corey Woodford’s daughter, Kayla.

This year, the Red Team will be raising money to help pay the tuition of Maxwell and Zachary Person, children of brother Eddie Person, who tragically lost his life in 2020.  Eddie was a former TKE president, and a great brother and friend to all who knew him.  He was also a veteran of the Iraq War and an Albany firefighter at the time of his passing.  Gullotta House will match any donations to the Red Team up to $1,000.  To make a donation to the Red Team in support of this worthy cause, click donate above. Please specify in the comment section that this is for the Red Team or in memory of Eddie Person. Anyone interested in joining the Red Team for this year’s plunge can give Joe Morrissey a call.

  

Lastly, in the spirit of brotherhood, Matt Gullotta will be hosting a big after-party in Tarrytown and some brothers have already committed to staying the night after the plunge.  All are welcome. Hope to see you there!

THANKS FOR HELPING GULLOTTA HOUSE QUALIFY FOR A $5,000 BONUS GRANT!

A PHOTO FINISH FOR WEEK 1 BONUS CHALLENGE

We won!  I am stoked, humbled and in awe.

Sponsored by the USA TODAY Network’s parent company Gannett, the 2022 A Community Thrives program is a nationwide, crowdfunding program that will grant over $2 million to eligible nonprofit organizations for specific projects aimed at social issues including education, housing, arts and culture, wellness and the environment.

In a field with 442 NFPs (not-for-profit organizations), we placed in the top two of the Bonus Challenge Week 1 – Most Unique Donors.  Our 381 supporters rallied in the closing hours to lift us out of third place and to the winner’s circle of the top two.  That surge earned us a $5,000 bonus grant from A Community Thrives.

When you combine the $8,770 donated by you all along with the $5,000 bonus grant your donations earned, just under $14K was raised.  This effort puts us 4% closer to our goal of raising $350K towards having a permanent location to help families displaced by a fire or flood to their home in Westchester County.  Our vision is to provide 3 meals daily, clothes and housing rent-free for 29 days during their time of need.

A COMMUNITY THRIVES UPCOMING BONUS CHALLENGE

There will be another round of the Bonus Challenge which rewards the top three NFPs with the most unique donors beginning August 1st at Noon and lasting through August 8th 11:59 a.m.

Please be aware that donations must be posted on our A Community Thrives fundraising page to count towards this competition.  Donations directly to Gullotta House, such as through the DONATE now button at the top of this page would still be collected by us but would not be tallied for this competition.

We will update this post with the appropriate link.  We will also follow up with a concentrated email campaign.  There’s only two times a year we send out a flurry of emails as a result of the urgency and compressed time of this competition.  We just concluded the first time – beginning the week of July 18th for the Bonus Challenge 1 you all helped us win.

The week beginning August 1st for the Bonus Challenge 3 will be the second time.  So, be on the lookout for that upcoming email blast.  Open, click, donate, forward and share with friends so we can revisit the Winner’s Circle and qualify for the $4,000 bonus grant awarded to the top NFPs in Bonus Challenge 3 of A Community Thrives.
