The success of this non-profit, like almost any other charity or business, is dependent upon many people working together for a common cause. In our case, we need a huge group of people to donate money, pack supplies, find sources of supplies, make deliveries to various locations, participate in various fundraisers and to help locate sources of donations.
It is this latter point that I want to emphasize. Though we have a number of fundraisers (Chili Dinner, KICK, a Mardi Gras Concert and a bowling event) in the works for our expanding efforts in 2011, I want to reach out to those of you who are part of our network to ask you to consider establishing a fundraiser to benefit our work.
Perhaps you might want to run a car wash or a silent auction. You might be interested in developing a 3K or 5K walk or a stair climb to benefit our work. There are plenty of means of raising funds to help children in need. I am simply appealing to you to see if you have an interest in initiating some sort of fundraiser. Obviously, a number of our volunteers and donors would be willing to aid you and participate in such an endeavor.
The more people who pitch in to help. It is always better to have people share in the success of our efforts. Please feel free to give me a call at 630-863-6035 or email me at rich219@comcast.net to chat with me about the possibility of your organizing your very own money-maker.
Many thanks,
Dick
