BRACELET SALE RAISES MONEY, AWARENESS
CARES Foundation is extremely thankful to member Jami Abell Patterson for organizing our wildly popular bracelet sale fundraiser and awareness campaign.
So far, we have distributed a total of 4,646 EVERY1CARES bracelets, resulting in $14,319 in sales.
Bracelets are still available at a cost of $3 each (minimum order 5, plus shipping and handling.)
To order, call (973) 227-3737 or order online at www.caresfoundation.org
Lisa Baranker, Jill Cohn, and Beth Levine of Kids At Heart at 565 S. Livingston Ave., Livingston, New Jersey have been kind enough to sell our EVERY1CARES bracelets in their store for girls 7-16, pre-teen and juniors. Kids At Heart is a fun place to shop, offering electronic gift cards and beautiful gift wrapping for all your gift-giving needs. If you are looking for the latest in street wear or dress wear, visit Kids At Heart or call them at (973) 992-2440.
Thank You... Thank You!!!
Dedicated fundraisers and longtime CARES members Tina and Brad Smith of Albion, IN, have donated the proceeds of their recent candle sale to CARES. This gift of over $500 is the latest in a long-running series of support CARES has received from this wonderful family. Thank you, Brad and Tina!
Holiday Cards
Many thanks are due to Louise Fleming, our South Carolina support group leader who dreamed up our very successful holiday card fundraiser.
Those blue-and-white snowflake cards, suitable for all December holidays, were the inspiration of Louise and her friends, Stephen and Michelle Keith and Barry Stanley, co-owners of a commercial graphics company in Greenville, SC. called Visual Graphics.
Thank you, Louise and Michelle, for designing and producing these cute cards, and to Visual Graphics for generously printing them at no extra cost.
We could not have gotten the cards ready in time without our wonderful website manager Sue Bianchi’s efforts in getting the CARES web site order page up in record time.
This volunteer effort had practically no direct cost to CARES–Louise donated mailing fees—and netted us nearly $3,000!
Thanks also to all who purchased and gave out these cards for helping to make this a success and helping to raise awareness of CAH.
RUNNERS WANTED!
Need a little extra motivation to train for the New York Marathon? Let’s start a team of runners to come together and run the Marathon to raise money and awareness for CARES Foundation, Inc. I look on this as a long-term idea, which will gain more and more interest over the next few years. Any ideas or interest please marathoncontact me, John Rollo, at jrollo@comus-intl.com
