We've talked alot about wanting to do something special as a community for the holidays. We had considered a Secret Santa Exchange or cookie swap and a variety of other things... but we wanted to do something a little more special. So, we started thinking about charities.
After much thought and more research than I care to do, we have chosen "Clark's Christmas Kids (http://clarkhoward.com/topics/christmas_kids.html)" for the OUAL 2004 Holiday Charity. Clark's Christmas Kids is a program run by Clark Howard. 100% of the money raised goes to buying gifts for children in the Georgia DCFS system. For the past several years, this particular drive has been responsible for 45% of all gifts for children in the Georgia foster care program.
Our charity drive will last through December 15*, when the 3 admins here will go with Clark Howard to buy gifts with the money we have raised. We'll take pictures and videos so you can see.
We're setting $1500 as our goal, and within the next week, we'll have a graphic on the front page that will count how much we have raised. Donations can be made through PayPal to the email address: holiday2004@onceuponalife.com
To aid with our fundraising, we'd like to call for donations to be auctioned off (on ebay). Handmade objects, gently used merchandise, or anything you were thinking about selling but needed a little push.... here's your push! Please contact Wendy or I about anything you might like to auction off... we can group everything together on eBay and have them specially marked as part of a charity drive. :aok:
:santa: Thanks in advance!!
*12/15 date subject to change based on scheduling
