Fundraiser Time!!

Well, school is back in session which means it's time for fundraisers. This year, Daniel will be involved with two fall fundraisers - a boosterthon fun run (for school) and the Buddy Walk (for the Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta). If you are interested in supporting either (or both) of these events with a donation, please let us know as soon as possible. All donations are tax deductible. If you are willing to give a donation and feel like you can only support one, then we ask that you support the Buddy Walk (for the Down Syndrome Association) since this one is more personal to us. Donations for the Buddy Walk can be made online and credited to Daniel's list of supporters. So, as soon as we get registered, I'll let you know. We thank you in advance for any support you can give.

For school this year, instead of selling wrapping paper and other holiday items, Daniel's school will be having a boosterthon fun run (click here for information and to see a video about this event). The fun run is scheduled for Thu, Sept 6. The students run for 30 minutes, completing an average of 25-30 laps. Each child gets a t-shirt and on the back they mark off each lap as they complete it. If you are interested in donating to this event, you can pledge a certain dollar amount per lap or a flat donation. One of the neat things they do with this is whenever a student gets a pledge from another state, their class studies about that state. Therefore, it would be fun to be able to give his class several different states to learn about.

On a more personal note, our family will be involved in the Buddy Walk of Atlanta - to help raise money for the Down Syndrome Association. This year's event is scheduled for Sat, Oct 13 in downtown Duluth GA. This will be our first time to participate in this annual event. We are asking everyone to encourage Daniel with your donation to this cause. We are supposed to turn in all donations before the walk (checks made payable to DSAA). If you are interested in donating, please let us know as soon as possible. Also, don't forget that donations can be made online - I'll let you know when our registration goes through.

Again, we'd like to thank everyone in advance for your support in these events. God has truly blessed us with a wonderful family and some great friends!
