Below is more info on James and his condition. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=138307316196280 James was born with a right sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia on 1/6/2010 and wasn't expected to live thru the night. CDH is where the diaphragm doesn't form completely and the abdominal organs come up into the chest compressing the heart and lungs. With James, his bowel, liver, and stomach came into his chest.He also is a ECMO survivor. He fought and has continued to do so the past 7 months. James is still in the NICU at Mo...rgan Stanley Childrens Hospital and has a long way to go. He has recently had a tracheostomy and feeding tubes. He defied all odds and truly is our miracle baby. We are now awaiting a bed at a Rehab hospital in NJ. Even though today he is better, there's no promise of a tomorrow. We fight and take each day, One Day At A Time!! Please take 2 minutes of your time each day thru August 22 and vote in Honor of James. We desperately need to find the cause for this defect. 1/2500 babies are born with CDH and 50% do not survive. Please with your help, we can make a difference!!

Getting Your Fundraiser Publicity

Author: Michelle Pearson

How well your fundraiser does will depend on how much publicity you can attract. Your community should be made aware of your fundraiser, so they can help raise funds and increase your results. If your community doesn't know about the fundraiser you are hosting, who is going to show up?

We have listed some fundraising publicity tips below that will help you start out on the right foot and get your fundraiser the attention it deserves!

There is No Such Thing as Too Much Publicity Send a press release that details your fundraiser to your local paper. You can also distribute a press release online for free if you have a website that can accept orders from all over the world. Find community newsletters you can also use to let the community know about your fundraiser. If you live in an area that has homeowners associations, call a few of the bigger associations and inquire about their newsletter distribution. Some will allow you to include your fundraising info for free or for a nominal fee.

Flyers - A Tried and True Marketing Tactic Distribute flyers all over your area! Place them on doors, on windshields, and on telephone poles (first make sure you know the laws in your area). Start by targeting small businesses, grocery stores and local neighborhoods. Have flyers readily available with you everywhere you go, so you can pass them out. Also, be sure that your volunteers actively hand out flyers everyday. Make the flyer short but to the point, as too much information on a flyer will result in the person tossing it away without having read it. Remember: less is more!

Give Away a Free Gift Having a small gift to give away during your fundraising event will help to remind people about your company and your fundraiser. Depending on the budget you have available, you can have products such as bumper stickers, pins, pens, and t-shirts designed with your group's name or logo. Then can give them away to all those that participate in your fundraising event!

These are just a few ways you can get your fundraiser some publicity and make the community more aware of your fundraising efforts. Remember, if nobody knows about your fundraising event, they won't be able to participate!
