GULF SHORES, Ala. — Pleasure Island Leadership Association (PILA), Meyer Real Estate’s chapter of NMA, the Leadership Development Association is proud to announce a successful end to the 2nd annual “Krayons 4 Kids” fundraiser. 

Michelle Hodges, Pleasure Island Leadership Association president said, “The Krayons 4 Kids effort benefits our local schools through the collection and distribution of much needed school supplies. Debra Williams, Community Involvement chair, contacted three local schools and learned that the number one need for supplies was copy paper. Unbelievably, basic copy paper was the top priority. Through various fundraising efforts, PILA was able to purchase for donation 35,000 sheets of white copy paper and 3,500 sheets of multicolor copy paper.” 

Hodges further advises, “Our Pleasure Island Leadership Association chapter was also able to donate a number of other collected supplies, including 672 sheets of construction paper, 248 oz. of hand sanitizer, 66 bottles/sticks of glue, 70 scissors, 45 boxes of crayons and more. We are delighted to know that many, many children in class today are enjoying these supplies because of this effort and appreciate the team’s willingness to give of themselves to make an impact in our local community.” 

Sandra Thorpe, Principle of Swift School said, “Thank you for the donation of copy paper and school supplies. You have touched the lives of many students. I appreciate your willingness to help Swift School.”
