SB & H, "The Kids Who Care Club" - The Little Auction That Could and Did!!!

The Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association

of Ontario; Dec. 3-10, 2003

The 'Kids Who Care Club' at Parkview P.S. has

included this year an online auction with their annual

'Race For Research' in support of the SBHAO.

Michael is a grade 8 student at Parkview who was

born with Spina Bifida.  Michael has worked hard

over the years to advocate for his rights and even

helped secure funds for a wheelchair accessible

door at the school when he was just 7 years old.

Over the years, Parkview has held their annual event

and has helped raise a lot of money for the SBHAO, but, in this, Michael's graduating year, 'The Kids Who Care Club' has set a fundraising

goal of $10,000.

RESULT

When we initially set our $10,000 goal, many people felt we were being unrealistic, but encouraged us nonetheless.  We were thrilled to prove

them wrong.  It was so easy...thanks to Charity Auction Concepts.  Not only did we meet our fundraising goal, but we got a great deal of

publicity on behalf of the SBHAO.  To our surprise, few of the items were actually won by the Parkview community.  Our little school

fundraiser got international bids and attention.

RECOMMENDATION

Charity Auction Concepts made fundraising so easy.  The extent of our work and financial output was a letter campaign and postage.  That

was it!  They took care of everything!  the biggest challenge was coming up with the right words of thanks when they handed us our cheque. 

What more could you ask for?  Thank you!
