 October 2009 - Macy's Shop For A Cause
On October 17th Macy's held it's annual Shop for a Cause day to benefit local charities nationwide. For Every Child, Inc. was fortunate to be one of those charities. We were given discount cards to "sell" for a $5 donation. Shoppers were able to use their card to shop for a discount on the 17th and enter to win a Macy's $500 gift card. Through the generosity of our supporters we raised over $500. All of the monies raised will go to support our "Hope Totes" program.
Many thanks to Macy's and all of the people who were kind enough to buy a card on our behalf.
 Summer 2009 - Walk For Hope
The May 9th 5k Walk For Every Child was a great success with 73 runners and 18 volunteers along with 13 generous sponsors. Event organizer Linda Pelt was on hand to provide support and award medals to the winners in each age group. We raised over a thousand dollars at this fun event and have decided to make it an annual walk. Lilnda promised that "next year will be bigger and even better."
June 2009 - Stitching For A Good Cause
The Lake Jovita Stitchers have signed on to make blankets for the "Hope Totes" program in Dade City, Florida. These talented women have been sewing and knitting blankets for babies and toddlers in various sizes. They have also been sewing tote bags to put the blankets, clothing and toiletries in. For Every Child, Inc. president Julie Petrovic praised the bags and blankets saying "These are fabulous. We're giving children hope and they can use the beautiful bags as book bags or to store their stuff in. I know these handmade gifts mean so much to a child in need."
