CHERUBS Name Change

We are filing paperwork to make our 501(c)III organization Incorporated. Beginning on January 1st, we will have a new name. Our Boards have agreed upon:

CHERUBS - The Association of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Research, Awareness and Support

The words Advocacy and Awareness are the same thing but Advocacy is a bit out-dated. It was used back in 1995 when I set CHERUBS up, but Awareness is now used more often so we decided to up-date the name since we are going through this process anyway.

We should be Incorporated fairly soon after the new year. It only took us 3 months to figure out how to file all the 501(c)III paperwork back in 1995 when I was only 22 yrs old and doing it all myself and without the internet for help. So this should be a piece of cake this time around! ;) Plus, we have lawyers and an accountant all pro bono to help us if we need it.

All of our new Cafepress items will reflect the new name and web site address.
