A couple of weeks ago I posted about a fundraising effort I'm part of: Molly's Mommy Friends. We are trying to raise $10,000 towards SMA research in honor of Molly's baby, June. I wanted to post an update for those of you that follow my blog (as quiet as it's been these past few months) but also for those of you that may pop over here from time to time. If you haven't donated, please consider it. If you're considering it, please take that next step and donate. Thanks!
In the few weeks we have been active, Molly’s Mommy Friends has raised over $2,000 for the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation. Good Job Mommies! We still have a ways to go to reach our goal of $10,000 by October 5th. Please continue to get to the word out. Here are a few ideas on how:
1. Send an e-mail request with a link to the donation page.
2. Have a blog? Post the link for your followers to see.
3. Are you on Facebook? You can post the fundraising link to your page. You can Twitter it too (say that really fast 3 times.)
4. Prefer pen and paper? Mail letters to friends and family with the page link or request a check (we can send checks to GSF.)
5. Get your children involved, and make flyers to pass out in your neighborhood.
6. Visit your local businesses and ask them if they would be willing to donate a portion of the sale of something to GSF on behalf of Molly’s Mommy Friends.
7. Have a party and charge admission with a portion going to GSF.
8. Have a tag sale and donate the proceeds.
The possibilities are endless. If you ask ten people to donate $10 that’s $100. If ten Mommy friends do this it's $1,000. Small steps (or in this case, small donations) can add up to something significant.
Thanks again for helping with this special cause and for honoring June, our SMA angel.
