Toilet Paper Streams Down On Doylestown Home For A Good Cause

DOYLESTOWN, PA — It’s a sight you don’t often see in the quiet, well kept neighborhoods of Doylestown Township - a property totally trashed by toilet paper.

The white tissue paper was hanging from the trees, the roofline, the electric wires, the rain gutters. It even covered the car, a sign, the fence and the bushes.

The toilet paper started flying around 6 p.m. on Mischief Night and continued almost nonstop for the next three hours until it covered almost every inch of the property on Oak Drive.

Homeowners Keith and Kristina Fenimore watched as their property was completely trashed by streamers of white paper. But they never thought once about calling police.

Not many homeowners could stand by like that and watch their property get completely trashed. But Keith isn't just anyone. He came up with the idea of turning something bad into something good.

For every roll of toilet paper thrown, the Fenimore’s asked that $5 be donated to Main St., their nonprofit organization supporting breast cancer patients.

The event, dubbed "TP My House," was one of many held by Main St. during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To date, the nonprofit, which began as "Pine2Pink," has raised close to $700,000 and has helped more than 2,000 breast cancer patients.

As the cash total increased throughout the evening, the more and more toilet paper rained down on the property.

"Isn't this great?" asked Keith. "One woman stopped me and said, 'Do you know what I noticed? Everyone is smiling.' You know what, that's such a great observation. Everyone is just in bliss. It's wonderful to see."

Keith came up with the idea as a fun way to involve the community in a good cause and to have a little fun during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“Sometimes you do wine pairings and other sophisticated events and other times you do stuff like this,” he said. “It's so avant-garde for a nonprofit to utilize toilet paper and destruction for good and the fact that we found a way to do it is awesome. Everyone's out here smiling and having a good time. I absolutely love every minute of it.”

With the unusually comfortable temperatures for a late October evening and the large turn out, Fenimore expects this to be a record fundraising year for "TP My House." And that will make the cleanup effort all the more enjoyable, he added.
