First of all, I wanted to tell you all about MNE having a contest for WAHM's and their kids! Go this URL http://www.momsnetwork.com/vote/vote.shtml and vote! I dont want to bias you or anything, but the cuties in Picture 10 are mine, LOL.
CPD's owner, Jess Middleton, began this quest back in October, when she first opened her cyber-doors. "We live in a frightening world these days. Children disappear, and there are so little resources to help fund the search for them. This is just my way of helping to bring some of those children home. As a mom, I feel a bit safer knowing these resource are available if I ever need them." she said of the Polly Klaas Foundation, a non-profit organization based out of Petaluma, CA. The Foundations main purpose is to aid in the search and protection of children accross the country.
With a goal of raising at least $10,000.00 in the year 2000, has she taken on an 'Oversized Task' for such a small business? "I look forward to the challanges. And, if what ever I may be able to accomplish brings even just One child home safe, then I've done what I set out to do." When asked how the decision to raise fund for this cause came about, she commented, "My products and services are based around children. A child's Birthday Party is something they always remember, good or bad. As a Specialized Birthday Coordinator, I work every day to make each birthday party a great memory, for both the child and the parents. It's sad that these children, and their parents, are missing out on those memory making events. So, it just felt natural to do something to help bring those memories, and the children that make them, home."
Fundraising efforts began with the re-building of her websites main page, which now includes a direct link to the Polly Klaas Foundation website, and a missing child alert banner. "It is my hope that the visitors to my website will take just a minute, look at the banner, and then keep their eyes open. Being on the internet offers a great opportunity for people from all over the country to view the banner, and it's my hope that it will help bring those children home where they belong."
Mrs. Middleton plans to offer select products from her line of themed birthday party supplies and decorations, with all the profits being donated throughout the coming year. In the coming months, there will also be games and drawing offered, which will also help to raise money. "I hope to not only raise enough money to really benefit the foundation, but I also want the general public to feel good about helping out. We should all try to do our part."
The games have begun with a 50/50 Word Search Drawing for January. "To enter the drawing, they can print a monthly Word Search form from my website. Then, mail it in with a $1.00 entry fee. At the end of each month, 50% of all the entry fees collected will be donated to the foundation, with the other 50% going to a randomly drawn winner from all those who entered that month. This way, everyone wins." The Word Search 50/50 Drawing Contest began January 1st, 2000, and is located on the Custom Party Designs website.
