Hello everyone! I wanted to share some fundraising plans that I have to help us bring Evan home! Please comment if you are able to contribute in any way to these ideas, or if you have any other ideas!! Also, I have officially ordered tons of "hand out" cards- here is the final, final designs! (Showing front & back) I'm not a graphic designer by any means, but they will do!
1. March 21st is National Down Syndrome Day. We would like to have a big bake sale at St. Francis Hospital! (Still pending the OK from hospital administration on this.) In fact, I would like to have a bake sale table anywhere, any week, any day! I have lots of amazing desserts, pastries, cakes to sell that are fresh and yummy. (I have lots of supporters in this department!) Let me know if we can arrange something!
2. The week of March 21st for Down Syndrome Week we will be having a "booth" at the UW campus also selling baked goods.
3. August 20th we will be holding a HUUUUUGE yard sale- mark it on your calanders! We most likely will be reserving a park area for this to ensure space. But in the meantime we need donations! If you are going to give your "stuff" away to good will- give to me instead so we can sell for Evan! I can take off your hands now, or save the bigger items for us for when early August rolls around. I will be mailing an official letter regarding this as well to my family and friends. To help just comment on this post and I will get back to you via e-mail! :-)
4. We will try to have our story in the paper/tv for Down Syndrome Day/week. We will let you know where our story will be featured so you can keep a look out!
5. I like the idea of doing a raffle at the yard sale. If anyone has any large items or a service to offer please let me know!
Any more ideas that I can do? Anyone able to help? In addition to needing good will items for the yard sale, we will also be doing a bake sale and selling chips, pop, etc. Volunteers are very welcome!
James and I want to thank you so much for your help, love, and support! We could not bring Evan home if it wasn't for you!
Can you e-mail me your address. Hugs
ReplyDeleteHi! Email me your address and we will send you some things for your yard sale. We haven't had the blessing of adoption yet but we hope to in the near future. We just found out we are expecting our 5th blessing!(Our oldest is 7 and our youngest is 18m.) We love to help out the RR kiddlets!
