PORT ANGELES — If a purple potty lands on your doorstep, there are two things you can do about it.
You can pay $5 to have it taken away or you can pay $10 to have it taken away and delivered to someone else, with a message tucked inside.
“The basic message is ‘Let’s flush away cancer. Help support the Relay for Life,’” said Loni Gores, title officer with Clallam Title, which is part of the Port Angeles Association of Realtors Relay for Life team.
The bejeweled and be-flowered spray-painted toilets are a fundraiser for the team, which is one of 33 participating in the Port Angeles Relay for Life scheduled June 8-9 at the Clallam County Fairgrounds.
They raised close to $1,000 last week, and the team hopes it will bring in a total of $2,000 by week’s end, said Gores, who is captain of the team.
The last time it made the rounds, in 2006, it raised about $3,500, Gores said. That time, it was in circulation for the entire month of March. This time, the fundraiser is for only two weeks.
The decorated toilet can be delivered anywhere within the Port Angeles city limit, and as of Friday, it had visited about 30 places, Gores said.
