HVAC FUNDRAISER
MCC NoVA needs a new Pair! Not Shoes, but a new Heat Pump/Air Handler Pair!
This 20 year old Carrier pair that takes care of the Social Area needs replacement.
The average lifespan for this model is about 12-14 years, so it has served well.
The replacement cost is about $10,000.
A generous donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has offered to double-match any donations tagged for the HVAC!
This means that if you send a check or donate $250 marked HVAC, the donor will contribute $500, making the donation, in effect, $750!
Thank You So Much for Considering the Possibilities!
