Blue Bell, Pa. – Residents of Blue Bell Place, a Watermark Retirement Community, are making the season even brighter for children in need.

They recently kicked off a season of charity. Residents created raffle baskets with donations of jewelry, wreaths and more from the Blue Bell community. They also received two gifts for the baskets from PS Salon & Spa. The raffle baskets raised $242 for the Watermark for Kids charity, which empowers underserved kids to express their character, leadership, creativity, compassion and spirit. Watermark communities across the country each sponsor a deserving kid to help the recipient express his or her true self and thrive.

The residents also made their own donations of toys for Toys for Tots and encouraged their neighbors to work to fill the box.
