Wow, The Fresh Air Fund had nearly 8,000 children enjoying their best summer yet. If you recall, we featuredThe Fresh Air Fund back in July for the NYC Half-Marathon they hosted.
Check out the latest here. The Fresh Air Fund 2009 Summer Memories video is worth the visit. From their News Facts section:
2009 Summer Highlights:
• Nearly 8,000 children enjoyed their best summers yet
• 370 students participated in the Career Awareness Program
• 11 counselors-in-training spent three days on the Appalachian Trail
• 168 young people were Leaders-in-training
That’s what I call a success! Keep up the good work and let’s get behind and support these organizations.
Wow, this is not for the feint of heart! Raise $1000 for Special Olympics Hawaii and you’ll be able to rappel over the edge of Waikiki’s tallest building, landing at the Edge of Waikiki which is the Sheraton Waikiki’s new adult infinity pool and bar. Crazy huh? The Over the Edge of Waikiki event takes places on November 13th, 2009 at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel. You need to be 18 and less than 300lbs. to participate.

It’s hard to even find a $5 lunch these days, but we want to let people know that even those $5 can help end cancer. I’m Brittany, and I work with Stand Up To Cancer. Today we launched a new campaign that I think your audience can embrace. Meryl Streep is teaming up with SU2C to get 10,000 $5 donations from September 2 – October 2. Check out this widget to hear from Meryl herself: http://www.standup2cancer.org/su2c/five.
During the month of September, we’re asking the question: “What would you give up to end cancer?” As Meryl points out, for the cost of a coffee or a magazine, you can make a huge difference in the fight against cancer. We’d really appreciate if you could post the widget on your blog to let everyone know how easy it is to join the fight against cancer – even if you don’t post to your blog, feel free to share with your family and friends! This donation widget lets you donate $5 to SU2C and can be added to blogs and websites (embed code below) or it can be shared via Facebook and other social networks (click on the yellow SHARE button on the widget).
Skip a Lunch is an idea I had after reading an article in the National Geographic on the spread of malaria. It turned out for a mere $10 you could buy a family in Africa a mosquito net through the American Red Cross. I spend $10 every time I frequent a Starbucks, so why shouldn't I skip one lunch or cinnamon dolce latte and help save a child? I did. Will you?
