Hi Katie! You can just send the money after the event. If anyone wants a tax-deduction then I need their full information and the amount they donated.
For shirts, we use Cafepress. If you want me to set up a section there for you, let me know. Do you have a special logo?
Do you have a date set yet?

Katie that is so wonderful! I am glad to hear you got YMCA to help! A walk sounds like a wonderful annual event if all pans out well. I really like that idea, I'll have to keep it in the back of my mind for next summer/fall!

We started a non-profit in memory of our son Jack so I do know a little about planning events, but we've never had a walk. As far as the t-shirts go, there are places (Of course, I'm not from Michigan, but I assume it's the same there.) that will either donate the t-shirts or give them to you at a very discounted rate (like not charging a design or printing fee) if the proceeds are going to benefit a charity or non-profit. Cherubs happens to be both. :) So anyway, just a suggestion.
Good luck with planning the walk. I wish I could attend, but I live faaaaaarrrr away!! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help from over here.
Love,
Bethany

KAtie its great to hear that you have an interested sponsor. I know we will be interested in coming!

We don't have the date set yet but we're thinking the begining of October. It depended on if the YMCA was willing to sponsor it, then we would have to see when is OK with them. As for the Logo we want to have the CHERUBS name on the shirt, along with Jayden's name and our sponsors. We were hoping to find a local company who would help design and print them for a good price. We just have to start looking and asking locally I guess.
Dawn, The YMCA has asked what exactly the money would go towards. They wanted to know if it was all going toward the up keep of CHERUBS website and events, or does it also go toward any kind of research. I wasn't exactly sure where it would all go, so I said I would check and get back with her. Whta would be the best answer to that?

Well, Katie, you can decide where you want it to go. We need funds for all the above so you can decide. But we especially need Information Packets for new families so if you want to help with that we post Jayden's name on the as a sponsor. :)

Alright sounds good. When the time comes We will just want it to go to whatever is needed the most.
