Just in time for Autism Awareness month Autism One is carrying the line of Stress Free Kids books and CDs written by Lori Lite in their on line store and conferences. Lori’s stories have had such a positive impact on children with Autism that Autism One, a leader of information and resources for Autism is honored to carry her books and CDs and have them available for parents, teachers, specialists and especially the children.

Lori’s stories help children, teens and adults manage stress, anxiety and anger by using researched-based techniques wrapped around unique stories for kids and guided relaxation for teens and adults. She is also releasing 3 NEW music CDs this month all designed for relaxation and stress management.

Autism One has the world’s leading doctors, scientists, researchers, and educators and the largest conference on Autism. Parents looking for more information on Autism and a support network should visit the Autism One website.

With all the talk about obesity in children, here is an idea that might help combat the situation while raising money for a cause.

Motion-athon Fundraiser

Nature Bags for a Cause

janet — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 15:27:56 +0000

This is a creative fundraising project for kids of all ages.

Use plain paper bags of any size to create pieces of art by simply placing a leaf beneath the paper with the veins facing upwards, and use colorful crayons to make leaf rubbings all over the surface. Other natural objects such as maple seeds (called samaras), or pine needles, can be used as well. Bark rubbings can also make a design interesting.

Use your completed projects as your next fundraiser. Sell the bags at events where shoppers need bags for their produce, art, plants, or baked goods. Or, make themed party gift bags to be sold in groups of 10 for birthday party goody bags.

Puppy Chow – Humane Society Fundraiser

Spring is in the air! Each week as I stop by the grocery store there’s a group of one form or another out front raising money for their cause. This week it was a group of girl scouts raising money for the local humane society. They were selling “puppy chow” to everyone walking by. Puppy chow, also known as Chex Muddy Buddies, is a snack food kids and adults alike love to eat. The girls had made a big batch of it, packaged it in ziplock bags, and were selling it for a $1 a bag. What I noticed most was the people stopping by their table. Some bought a bag for a $1, but many gave more than a dollar, or gave without taking the product. The girls were having a great time and those giving a donation were impressed by their enthusiam and spirit. Whatever the amount of money raised – this fundraising idea was a success!

Special Event Photo Fundraiser

renee — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:37:45 +0000

This creative fundraiser is great for older kids & teens w/ adults.

Enlist a volunteer photographer to conduct a Photo Session using basic props & backgrounds to commemorate a holiday or event. Calculate the expected cost of photo paper & supplies.

Have kids create & distribute posters & emails advertising the event, including price of photos.

Instant prints can be created using a notebook computer, photo paper & printer.

Charge enough to offset price of supplies, and provide a Donation Jar on site or those not participating.

This is a great add-on to other fundraising events.

Community-based Beautification Project

renee — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:41:12 +0000

Instead of fundraising for a community garden, consider soliciting requests for the specific items and manpower needed.

Request Plant, Seed, & Soil donations for church/ school.

Gardening Supplies can be loaned or donated.

Use hardy, easy-care plants in a mix of annuals (bloom all season) and perennials (come back year after year). Mulching is helpful to reduce watering & weeding.

Set up Pledges for Manpower to establish Garden Plot -possibly in 30 minute intervals, and ongoing pledges of weeding & tending.
