Participating in an Oprah Winfrey "Big Give" project

Hello flist!

Just quick note to let you know I'm working on a charity fundraising drive. A friend of mine was inspired by Oprah Winfrey's "Big Give" and she brought a team of us together to see what we could accomplish! We have a week to go on our big push and I wanted to tell you about it, and see if you could help. We're hoping to have word of our project spread so that if many people give just a little, it will add up to a lot! If you are willing to donate even a few dollars it would go a long way. We have an on-line service to take our donations (see cut) to make it easy. Please also, if you are willing to forward this information on, we can really get the word out! Any help you are willing to give is greatly appreciated.

Let me know if you have questions about this, or would like more information. I'm always glad to share my excitement! When I clear a few items off my projects list I'll post an update.

Thanks for taking the time to listen! Disregard if this is not your cup of tea.

btw...I'm checking to see if "First Giving" will do currency exchanges for those outside of the US.

Join the Giving Spree!

Inspired by Oprah’s The Big Give we decided to participate in a giving project of our own. Our wonderful charity, Believe in Tomorrow National Children’s Foundation, does so much to help seriously ill children and their families.

Let’s join together and give big for them!

About our charity:

· Believe in Tomorrow believes in keeping families together during a child’s medical crisis, and that the gentle cadence of normal family life has a powerful influence on the healing process.

· Widely recognized as a world leader in pediatric Hospital Housing and Retreat Housing, Believe In Tomorrow developed the first pediatric retreat facilities in the United States more than a decade ago.

· Since 1986, thousands of critically ill children and their families have used their retreat homes free of charge to renew their energy and spirit throughout their child’s exhausting medical treatment.

· Since 1993, Believe In Tomorrow’s Children’s House at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland has provided accommodations to families traveling from throughout the United States and the world seeking medical treatment at the internationally famous Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.
