With the help of its loyal customers, Brookshire Brothers is gifting one of Wimberley's natural treasures.  During the month of December, Brookshire Brothers gave its shoppers a chance to donate $1, $5, or $10 to Friends of Blue Hole when they checked out at the store.  When the promotion ended, shoppers had donated $2706 to Friends of Blue Hole.  The Wimberley store, under the leadership of Store Director Jason Noske, upped the ante by donating another $3000 to match what their customers gave.  Brookshire Brothers' Charitable Foundation contributed an additional $7,000. The total gift to Friends of Blue Hole is $12,706.00.

 

In making the presentation Monday, December 30th to Blue Hole Board members, Brookshire Brothers Chief Operating Officer John Alston said,  "Brookshire Brothers celebrates family and community and Blue Hole is where those core values come together."  Alston, a Wimberley homeowner who formerly served as a Director for the District that includes the Wimberley Brookshire Brothers, is passionate about partnerships. He adds, "Giving our customers an opportunity to participate and invest in this project unites us in support of Blue Hole and helps ensure that all will have the chance to enjoy this great natural resource for years to come."

 

Noske's team at the Wimberley store threw a "blue" post Christmas party to go along with Monday's check presentation. The bakery crew created blue cupcakes, a cake with the Blue Hole logo  and blue punch to go along with the Blue Hole theme. Executive Director Laura Linhart-Listner and Board members were on hand to accept the check.
