About the Fundraiser

My workplace, Kids Country Childcare, is hosting an arts and crafts sale to raise money for the charity Save the Children.

We will be selling:
Paintings, T-shirts, pinatas, "I have a heart for Haiti" keepsakes, designer onsies and bibs, funky head bands, and much, much more. (see pictures below....)

Other activities:
Face painting for donations, Dance-A-Thon, and a silent auction (for the works of local professional artists).

Where and When?
St. Francis Methodist Church

April 17th, 2010

Come hungry!
We will also have a consessional thanks to St. Francis Women of Today, and we will also be selling specialty "I have a heart for Haiti" cupcakes and signature drinks.

Next on the List....

I have (what seemed to be) successfully addressed the St. Francis Women of Today group in hopes that they would help out for the fundraiser. I was a little nervous... and even though I can't remember anything I said, I'm pretty sure I said enough, and I'm pretty sure the response was positive... I've asked them to do the consessional part of the fundraiser, and am anxiously waiting to hear back with an answer.

The date and time of the event is anticipated to be April 17th, 11am - 5pm, but is definately subject to change. Destination pending....

Soon, I will have a sign-up list of volunteer jobs and "shifts" for not just Kids Country staff, but for anyone else who would like to volunteer for the event. I will hopefully have something typed up in the next two weeks.

Next on the list to get done is as follows:

Request donations from JOAnne ETC. and Cosco.
Send a donations request form home with Kids Country parents.
Request raffle-worthy donations from local businesses.
Attain an indefinate destination.
