Purple prank to raise money

Purple prank to raise money
Motlow students Emily Hobbs and Davy Britton show off the Purple Potty that will be used in the Motlow Relay for Life team?s annual fundraising efforts to support cancer research. Friends or businesses can be ?pranked? by having the potty delivered for a minimum donation of $20.

Motlow is continuing its Purple Potty Relay for Life fundraiser this year. The Motlow team came up with the unique idea a few years ago and it has been so successful team members decided to make it an annual tradition, of sorts, to support the fight against cancer.

The Purple Potty, which is an actual porcelain bathroom fixture, can be placed in the yard of a friend, or a place of business as a visual jibe, for a price, of course. With a donation of at least $20 you can have the toilet delivered to said friend or business, then they can get it removed, or delivered elsewhere, by donating their own $20.

Motlow?s Jean Williams says it is all in fun, but asks that the potty not be aimed at someone who might not appreciate the humor.

?We don?t want to make anyone angry or cause hard feelings,? Williams said during last year?s fundraiser. ?This is all for a good cause.?

The $20 figure is just a suggested minimum, according to those involved in the Purple Potty fundraiser, and any size donation will be accepted, and much appreciated. The group also encourages businesses to challenge other businesses to take part in the fundraising effort.

For more information on the Motlow team Purple Potty fundraiser call 668-7010 or 808-8230 and have a beautiful royal Purple Potty delivered to your favorite location.
