CRUISING FOR FUNDS
Fort Mill, SC, May 5, 2008 – Cruising for Funds
As part of a continuing effort to give back to the community, My Cruise Outlet, a member of Leisure Travel Enterprises LLC, is helping a local church raise money for its building fund. St Philip Neri of Fort Mill, SC is one of the largest and fastest growing churches in the area. Because of the population explosion, the congregation is rapidly out growing their sanctuary built nearly 10 years ago. Through My Cruise Outlet’s Cruising for Funds program, St Philip Neri will raise money while promoting fun and fellowship aboard a Holland America Caribbean Cruise this January. My Cruise Outlet chose the Holland America Cruise Line for several reasons. The MS Veendam sails from Tampa, Florida which is an easy drive from Fort Mill. Holland America is known for its high standards of quality and service in a quiet relaxing atmosphere. They are also known for their exciting ports of call including, colorful Key West, intriguing Belize City, exotic Costa Maya and mysterious Santo Tomas De Castilla.
St Philip Neri and My Cruise Outlet will promote the Holland America Caribbean Cruise during the 13th annual Italian Festival May 15, 16 and 17 at St Philip Neri. The Cruising for Funds program offers to give 50% of profits on all cabins sold back to the church’s building fund. Tim Gunnels, CFO of Leisure Travel Enterprises, says “This is a great opportunity for everyone. People get a chance to indulge and contribute at the same time. We hope to raise several thousand dollars for the building fund.”
The cruise is open to anyone in the community. For more information call 803-548-7009 or go to www.mycruiseoutlet.com for more information.
