Cradles to Crayons

Hosting an event at your home or in your neighborhood is a great way to involve your friends in helping local children.

Some fundraising ideas for adults:

• Select a theme: virtual baby shower, back to school, keeping a child warm in the winter, birthday party = and invite friends to a party at your home around that theme. We will be your partner in making the event a success, by helping with invitation ideas, equating dollar donations to number of children helped, providing a speaker, etc.
• Host a pot luck or soup night and invite guests to make a financial contribution in lieu of a host/ess gift
• Collect donations through your Book Club
• Invite an independent rep to host a party at your home and split the proceeds.

Some ideas for kids: Find something you like to do/make and share the proceeds with Cradles to Crayons. Have a bake sale, make/sell jewelry, have a lemonade stand, hold a raffle or a car wash—and help us help kids who aren’t as lucky as you!
