As the election voting nears, one women decided to jump start a grassroots idea and gathered several merchants of Crown Heights together to host a local fundraiser for Obama. I was able to catch Ms. Raquel Wexler who gave me the skinny on this grand idea!!!!
KrystalKnows: Why did you want to start a fundraiser in your community?
Raquel Wexler: To get local merchant to participate in fundraising and community mobilization.
KrystalKnows: What are the details of this event?
Raquel Wexler: This is the second fundraiser event which will be held at The Candy Rush.. The bash/fundraiser begins at 10am. A pledge of $10 will go to the Obama Victory Fund.and can be made with cash, check and online donation on the spot at the event. Each person that donates will be given a donation form. The Candy Rush will offer a scope of ice cream and BCakeNY will provide cupcakes for this event. Assemblymen Hakeem Jeffries will make an appearance at 10:45!!!
Krystal Knows: How long have you been a resident of Crown Heights?
Raquel Wexler: I have lived in the Crown Heights area for five years and originally I am from Houston, Texas.
So come on down and give to the cause, get a cupcake and ice cream!!!! See you all at this event........
