Put the "Fun" in Fundraising!! | |
| As a non-profit, we are always in need of financial support. One of our members, Brad Smith came up with a wonderful fundraising idea to raise funds for CARES Foundation. Brad, along with his wife, Tina , have arranged a pork burger and bake sale in his home town – Albion, Indiana. Way to go Brad and Tina!!
We would love for more of our members to help with fundraising. Please consider coordinating or hosting a fundraising event in your area. We will do whatever we can to assist you in this effort. We are starting to compile event sheets from CARES members and will produce a Fundraising Guide for others interested in running a fundraiser so that no one has to re-invent the wheel. There are many different ways to raise funds and your contribution makes a difference. Not only will it raise funds to expand our services, but it will also raise awareness about CAH throughout the community. Here are some ideas that you might consider: Bake Sale, Garage Sale, Car Wash, Walkathon, Bike Ride, Progressive Dinner Party, Casino Night, Auction, Treasure Hunt, Karaoke, Variety Show, Dance Marathon, Sport Tournament, Raffle, just to name a few. A fundraiser can be great fun and so rewarding. It’s a wonderful way to involve the whole family in such a worthwhile activity. Call us to let us know what you are planning. YOU can do it! |

Every Dollar Counts - and we Count on You |

| If you know of a supermarket or store chain that has a fundraising program that will contribute to non–profit organizations such as Bashas’ in Arizona (see article above), please contact us to let us know. Or if you have an idea for a local fundraising event, contact us to see how we can support you. As a non-profit organization we are always looking for ways to raise money so that we can continue to provide you with services and meaningful programs. Every dollar counts. Help us help you and your family.

Attention Arizona Families!!

| We need your help! Bashas’ Supermarket is starting up its annual fundraising program called: "Thanks A Million For Friends and Neighbors". As a non-profit organization, CARES Foundation will benefit when members, such as yourself, link their Bashas' Thank You Cards to our organization. Every time you make a purchase at Basha’s, the supermarket will donate 1% of your total to CARES Foundation, up to $2,500 per organization. It costs you absolutely nothing – Basha’s makes the donation on your behalf. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
Here is how the program works. Basha’s assigns us a 5-digit group identification number (the CARES Group Id Number is 29261). You need to link our group id number to your Basha’s Thank You Card. Each time you make a purchase, Basha’s will credit our account with the donation. Make sure to check your receipt after your purchase to see CARES Foundation listed-- this will ensure that the donation has been properly credited. This program will run from September 1, 2003 – April 30, 2004. Please consider shopping at Basha’s during this time period and encourage your family and friends to do the same. Remember to link your card to the CARES Foundation Group Id Number: 29261. This is a wonderful way to participate in fundraising for the organization while raising awareness about CAH. If you would like some brochures from us to distribute to your friends and family, call or email us and we would be happy to send you some in the mail. Your participation and support means so much for our organization and it will allow us to continue to expand our services to individuals and families with CAH. |
