Fundraising Just Got Fashionable!

For those of you that didn't know, I am heading to Africa this June with an organization called Visiting Orphans (check out the link to the right). This is a thirteen day trip and we will be going to Ethiopia and Uganda. I am so excited for this trip and have been fundraising for the last few months. I am a little more than a third of the way to my goal of $3600. Thought is was time for a really great fundraiser that we can all get excited about. I'm giving away a five piece bag set from Abbadabba bags along with five pounds of Starbucks coffee! There is a little something for everyone.

Here's how it works:
  • Donate $10 for one opportunity to make the bags and coffee your very own
  • Donate $25 for three opportunities
  • ***If you are really feeling generous,$50 will get you 10 opportunities!!***

Fundraiser will run the month of October, and I will draw a name on November 5th (in case that last entry take a day or two to upload in the system)

I WILL SHIP ANYWHERE IN THE CONTINENTAL US, SO DON'T LET YOUR LOCATION STOP YOU!


This is a 5-Piece Set from AbbaDabba Bags. Included are a Hobo Bag, Divided Cosmetics Bag, Wristlet, Key Fob and Reversible Coffee Sleeve. Each is made from coordinating fabrics in ice blue and espresso brown. The retail value of all 5 pieces is $112.*
***If you have not been to the Abbadabba Etsy sight, I highly recommend it! Here is the link for all your holiday needs ;) http://www.etsy.com/shop/AbbaDabbaBags

It just gets better and better

I received an email today about codes of conduct while on our trip to Africa. It all seemed very formal and needs to be notarized and sent back, but most of it made me very excited! Neil and I sponsor an eleven-year-old boy in Korah and I was planning on meeting him on my trip but had high hopes of going to his home and meeting his parents and siblings. Well, it seems this is more than likely the case and possibly even more! There may even be an opportunity to take him to lunch with our group (if the parents agree). I am so excited to meet this sweet boy and his family! It's like I will already know someone in Africa ;)
