Making Magic Fund
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011
dandelion KIDS was invited to participate in the ‘Making Magic Fund’ by Suzanne of Green Planet Parties and Mommy Foot Print.
What is it? It’s a collaboration of many small businesses who want to give back. We are joining together with The Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund Adopt a school to help children. Between December 5-11th if you shop at these stores online – proceeds will be donated to help schools, which help children, helps families and helps our future.
The Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund launched a special fundraising project called Adopt-a-School. This project identifies schools and their specific needs throughout Metro Vancouver. The site tells you the individual needs within each school so everyone can identify something to donate (sports equipment, winter coats in particular sizes, mitten, socks, etc.) The most needed item identified by all the schools of course is money so they can assess and fix their most outstanding needs. The amazing thing about donating the money via Adopt-a-School is they will match all donations so the money is being doubled, hence why we are all donating 10% of our online sales. Let the giving begin!
Here is the list of Stores participating:
Apricot Culotte: an e-boutique specialized in previously loved baby clothes that we bring in from France. We also carry end of season brand new designer baby clothes including some very nice French organic brands.
