Texas Self-Storage Association Makes a Difference With 2008 Fundraising Campaign

The Texas Self Storage Association (TSSA) has embarked on a 2008 “Make a Difference” campaign to support the Shriners Hospital for Children in Galveston. The association and self-storage operators throughout the state have supported the organization for seven years. Since 1999, TSSA has raised more than $143,000 for the hospital, which specializes in burn treatment of children under 18. All patients are treated at no cost to their families.
 
The statewide campaign will culminate at the TSSA’s annual convention and tradeshow, Nov. 9-12, in San Antonio. Fundraising events will include a Texas hold 'em charity poker tournament and live and silent auctions. Monetary and auction donations are being collected at TSSA member facilities through Sept. 30. Auction items can include services, products, collectibles, gift certificates and sports memorabilia. All proceeds go directly to Shriners Hospital.
