Press Release Summary = Cradles to Crayons fundraiser hosted by Maxima Mortgage
Solutions

Press Release Body = QUINCY- On September 6th, Maxima Mortgage Solutions hosted a
fundraiser for Cradles to Crayons at the Skyline Restaurant in Marina Bay. Attended
by hundreds of local entrepreneurs and community members, they were able to raise
over $4,000 for the Massachusetts based non-profit organization.

"Cradles to Crayons may be one of best non-profit organizations serving our local
communities today. However, most people don't even know they exist! The fundraiser
will provide an opportunity for many to donate to a well deserving cause but more
importantly will raise the awareness level of the Cradles to Crayons mission
throughout the community, "said Ruben B. Austria, co-owner of Maxima Mortgage
Solutions.

The money raised at this event will go towards Cradles to Crayons' Ready for School
initiative, which provides thousands of local kids with brand new backpacks full of
school supplies.

"It costs $10 to supply one child with a brand new backpack. With $4,000 we will be
able to supply 400 kids with a brand new backpack," says Lindsay Jensen, Community
Drives Manager for Cradles to Crayons.

Last year, Cradles to Crayons provided around 25,000 kids in Massachusetts with
high-quality everyday essentials such as clothes, toys, books, birthday presents,
baby safety items, and brand new backpacks. Through partnerships with shelters,
health centers, schools, and parenting programs, they distributed these items to
homeless and low-income kids, free of charge.
