Location: Children's Memorial Hospital
Task # 28 Make a Charitable Donation
So after my no-swearing debacle - as noted in the previous blog - I had $35 to donate to the charity of my choice. A few weeks ago I had seen an ad for a calendar for which all procedes would go to Children's Memorial Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House. I had wanted to buy one anyway, but, of course, due to my procrastinating nature, I never got around to it.
So now that I had $35 to get rid of, and have previously benefitted from the amazing things they do at Children's, I thought this was a perfect fit. Purchasing the calendar even buys you a raffle ticket for a cash prize drawing.
Now before you call bullshit, and say this is a huge cheat, know that the calendar was only $25. That left me with $10 to donate. And conveniently enough, on the order form for the calendar there is a place to add an additional donation. So I added $10 to the box, and sent my $35 merrily on it's way to benefitting kids and families that are in the position I and my own family once were. It was a nice coming-full-circle task.
If any of you would like your own calendar or to donate as well here is the link!http://www.calendarraffleforkids.org/calendar.php
