There are several ways you can help me to achieve my goal this year!
The first is to donate to money through the Susan G. Komen website. This is tax deductible... so print your receipt and stick it with your taxes ;) Please visit this site to make your donation: http://www.the3day.org/site/TR/2011/AtlantaEvent2011?px=5091307&pg=personal&fr_id=1610
Another way to help is to buy some of the beautiful items on the sale page! They are all made with love, and donated to the cause by the very generous people who made them! While you are looking at the items there, please visit the websites of the creators! All of their websites are listed with their items. I hope to help them in return for their helping me!
If you are an artist or crafter of any sort, you can also send something for me to put on the sale page! I will be having sales in person as well, and working hard to sell these great items and get business for the donors while I'm at it!! Last year I tried to sell things at the neighborhood yard sales, but since the prices are not yard sale prices and I was not willing to negotiate, the bargain hunters were not exactly impressed lol. That is the reason I still have so many left over, but this year I am learning from my mistakes and will attend a couple of craft fairs instead where people are looking for exactly these type of items! Please know that if you choose to donate an item, the purchase price will be applied to you in the form of a donation so that you as the artist will get the tax deduction, not the purchaser. I will keep your business cards or other form of information prominently displayed so that people who might not want to purchase at that time can still find you and buy directly from you later! Also I will have links to everyone here on this page, so that they are available for people to peruse at their leisure :)
I will be having several fundraisers between now and the end of October, one of which will be a wine tasting like last year but I am also going to have many other types of events so that there will be something for everyone! If you have an idea, suggestion, or contribution I would love to hear from you!! Last year I had some beautiful (and scrumptious!) cupcakes donated by a friend with a cupcake business, and they were a big hit at both the yard sale and wine tasting! I am open to any and all suggestions.... Please come to the fundraisers that you can get to, and spread the word!!
