Candy Sale Partners

Did you know that local businesses are an integral part to making sure the Annual Candy Sale is a continued success?  Over the years, many business owners have joined us as "Candy Partners" by selling cases of candy at their registers.  These partnerships usually start with a Holy Childhood family asking the owner if they would be able to help.  Sometimes, we don't even know all of the "outlets" for our candy!  If you know of a local store that would like to join us as a candy partner, please let us know so we can recognize them here! We already have two partners all signed up for the 2012 sale:

M & T Bank - Marketplace Mall location

Rainbow of Styles - Linda Shaw
