The time has come to start looking to 2011 - and it is quickly approaching! It's hard to believe that this Friday is New Years Eve. Everyone here at Macdonald Family Charity hopes you have a wonderful new year! Any new years resolutions? Perhaps a resolution you have is to volunteer more? Or give of your personal finances to support a cause near a dear to your heart? I would encourage you to not put off all resolutions until next year. Make a donation to Macdonald Family Charity and have it count toward your 2010 taxes. What could be better?
Contributions can be made here, and they are processed for free. You will know that every dollar you give as an end of the year gift will go directly to the charity and our mission of making struggling children's dreams come true. Children like LilyAnn. LilyAnn is a child who was granted a dream to spend time with her mother, a breast cancer warrior. Her mom was diagnosed last spring, and since then LilyAnn's life has been turned upside down. Because mom is a single mom, they had to move in with grandparents. All of their finances were tied up in medical bills, which left little for having fun as a mother and daughter. In October we made LilyAnn's dream of spending fun time with her mother a reality. Here they are at Cavalia in Denver.
The ladies had a dream weekend that started with lunch at Red Robin, an afternoon at the movies, and then they stayed at the Magnolia Hotel in Denver. While there, we gave them $500 for a shopping spree for LilyAnn, tickets and a limo ride to Cavalia, and then an afternoon at the Downtown Aquarium. They had an amazing time, and they will both forever remember their dream weekend together.
Please consider making an end of the year gift to Macdonald Family Charity to help us continue our mission into 2011. We recently approved 14 children for 2011 to be dream recipients. The budget for those dreams is $47,000, and we can't do it alone. Each and every gift will be greatly appreciated and used to its utmost to have the biggest impact possible.
Thank you for all you have done for us in 2010! I am excited for the direction of this organization in 2011 and am glad to have you along!
Sincerely,
Katie
