for a huge garage sale! and it's for a good cause too
Lots of people don't have the ability to give money or have time to volunteer outside the home to help charities, but I've found two simple ways to help.
AWG Brands (Always Save & Best Choice) will donate .03 per UPC to a non-profit charity. (the charity has to turn in the labels) Missouri Pitbull Rescue is now collecting the labels :-) If you would like to help our group, just mail any of the Best Choice or Always Save labels to our address:
MPR
P.O. Box 520043
Independence, MO 64052
All it costs you is the stamp!
Another way that is easy (and FREE) to help is using Goodsearch, a yahoo search engine. For every search you make, Goodsearch will donate money to your designated charity (and they have thousands to choose from). Before I became involved with MPR, I used Goodsearch to help the Humane Society.
Yesterday was our Scoot for a Cure ride all over Kansas City. We had an excellent time. The routes we scooted were mostly back roads, and a lot of rural areas-- really beautiful. The weather was goregous! Low humidity, 80 degrees and sunny. What more could you ask for?
I'm really thankful for all the riders who showed up, and the help from our sponsors. Everyone was great. We raised $466.82 for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
We had such a fantastic time, we're going to do this again next year. Mark your calendar for the second Saturday in June!

Oh-- on a side note, make sure you have GOOD sunscreen.
Even if you reapply with crappy stuff, you still get burned. Ask me how i know! (see the lovely untanned spot where my purse strap was? i'm so cool)
Raytown Tribune just publish an article about Scoot for a Cure.
Check it out!

Scoot for a Cure is coming soon! We're still trying to register more riders and get donations. Pass the word along!
I found this search engine that donates to your prefered charity everytime you search! I love it! I chose Wayside Waifs (a local animal rescue) as my charity. What a great idea!
As of today, I have an exciting new project. I love event planning.
I've been in contact with a rep from JDRF, from their fundraising department. ScootKC, the scooter club I belong to, is going to host a 3rd party charity event for JDRF: Scoot for Diabetes. (tentatively named that).
I hope this is a big event. I'm trying to reach some local vendors to see if they will sponsor us. I think it will be really cool. Off to do more work!!
