Fundraising Ideas

WOW! I can't believe it's been so long since I posted.

Our family has been talking about different fundraising ideas for Alyssa's orphanage and getting the playground built. We've decided to do a calendar featuring children who've found their forever families. We are probably going to do 2 types - one for PEI families who've adopted and one for children specifically adopted from Alyssa's orphanage. Each month on the calendar will feature one child with 1-4 photos which could include gotcha day, siblings or any other favorite picture. Each month will also have special tidbits about a family's specific adoption story, a favorite song or poem, etc...

We think these will be great gifts for family members, friends and future adoptive parents. They will also make great treasures for the children featured in them. Once they are complete, people can order as many as they like and we'll ship them out. Stay tuned for more details...in the meantime, if you would like to have your child included, please email me at tammymackinnon@pei.sympatico.ca. We would LOVE to include them!!!

Another fundraising idea is specifically for our children (and yours, too if they want to be involved!). We are going to do a walk-a-thon or movie-a-thon or some kind of "a-thon" and the kids are going around the community getting pledges. This is a great idea for other families across Canada or the US (or wherever you're reading from) to get involved and help support Alyssa's orphanage. We have had several people email us asking how they could help and hosting fundraisers on behalf of "Two Homes, One Heart" is the best way to help the children at Alyssa's orphanage. As always...we are open to your suggestions for fun, family fundraising ideas!!!

I will be getting some answers very soon about how to purchase and build the playground for Alyssa's orphanage.
