We couldn’t do it without YOU.

Jennifer Mann Rosenblatt

As the Families Raise Funds for CARES articles illustrate, fundraisingis certainly a grassroots endeavor (or in the case of the Ward Family it included a new drill, help from the entire family and buckeyes). CARES is humbled by the support that we continue to receive from our members and families. These contributions are the backbone of our organization and truly come from the heart. CARES is thrilled to share with you the following snapshots of some fundraising efforts that are in the process of being planned or have already yielded impressive results! We are grateful to have the opportunity to recognize these generous donors, and it is our hope that their dedication and creativity will serve as an inspiration.

Buy a Chance for CARES

CARES member, Louise Fleming, along with husband, Joe are collaborating with the Raleigh, N.C. office of KPMG to conduct a raffle that they hope will raise significant funds for CARES. This raffle will feature 3 weekend get-away packages (which include fine dining, spa and golf) at premier hotels in the Raleigh area. Tickets are $10 each. Since you do not need to be present to win, CARES families and members are encouraged to contact Louise directly at nutmeg0822@bellsouth.net to purchase your raffle tickets before Labor Day 2007!
