Pregnant again and don’t need presents?
Thursday, July 30, 2009 by Planet Janet.
You’re a mom with another baby on the way. Your friends and family want to throw you a baby shower. As far as you’re concerned, you have all you need and don’t want any more.
Have a baby shower anyway, and donate the proceeds to Birthday Blessings, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit that is taking flight, with opportunities for affiliate chapters to start up across the U.S.!
To celebrate the expansion of their Blessing Baskets program, which benefits homeless babies, I propose a challenge.
Bring gift cards and baby-care essentials to any Charlotte Monkey Joe’s this Friday, July 31, where your kids can “jump for a cause.” Discounted admission and food, with 20% of the proceeds going to Birthday Blessings.
I can’t tell you how impressed I personally am by Monkey Joe’s. My PTO did a fundraiser there last year and made a ton of money! I’ll be at the Pineville location at 10 a.m., so come say hi! Read full details here.
Let’s show the world how Charlotte can rally for the homeless.
