Fund raiser

I joined cherubs 8 yrs ago after my 1st son passed away from CDH and got on some but, I was so overwhelmed then immediatley pregnate agian , then on with life..then almost 3 yrs ago I had my 3rd child Celie to all our surprise was born with CDH. a few more yrs go buy and it starts to weight so heavy on my mind, the chance and % my children have to give birth to a baby with CDH and this breaks my heart. I would never want them to go through what we have. And with 2 children with CDH , I decided it was time to start dropping in..well it only reaffirmed what I already new..we need more awareness and research..

SO, to get to the point ~

I have a website.. www.lillybeckoriginals,com

I would love to do a online fundraiser and give 25% of the sales to Cherubs. There could be a code you type in at checkout like: CDH

Everyone could pass the onfo on to their family and friends, holidays are coming up soon..

Dawn is this something ya'll do or have done before? Is this an idea you would be interested in me doing?
By next week I will have another 200 items up, there are about 175 now, and some pieces have like 10 avaliable.

Please pass on ideas, suggestions or if ya'll even think it would work. You cant hurt my feelings. just trying to think of something I can do to raise money..and the money could go to help with what ever project ya'll think needs it the most.

I just decided its time to quite sitting on the sidelines~

look forward to hearing what you think, deAnn

Absolutely this is something we'll do!!!! We haven't done it before but we'd love to work with you!

I love your items, I looked at them last week and you're so talented, deAnn!!!!

[deAnnStrotherMcGilberry]

I'll let you know when I get up all the new items..

We can talk and see how you want to do it..I guess every penny counts

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

Ok, deAnn, sounds good! Yes, with a budget of less than $3 per member per year and the cost of every newsletter mailing $5 for each one mailed out.... every single penny counts!!!

With the holidays coming up, I thought mid/november and /or Dec might be a good time to try this? Is there a way to do a mail out or email the mailing list with the info ect and ask if they will pass it on to friends? I can make up a nice looking email for it and/or a mail out....I have added alot of new items, just let me know what ya'll are thinking..thanks, deAnn
