We are in the middle of an all-out fundraising driving and our goal is $100,000!   We are determined to raise this money by the end of the year, but we need your help.  As you can tell below, we have a LONG way to go!  Sponsorship is tax-deductible!

 

Sponsorship funds will go to: Research - currently our research revolves around our CDH Survey Results.  There is a great need for more CDH research and CHERUBS maintains the world's only CDH research database on long-term and family histories of CDH patients.  To create the site and database software that we would need to make our information available to all researchers for free, $500 a month is needed.   http://www.cdhresearch.org Conferences - our annual International Conferences for 2009 will be in Texas and 2010 in California - both the events currently need sponsorship.  We need funds to pay for these conferences, as well as our Grieving Parent Get-Togethers, and funds to allow us to attend medical conferences.   http://www.cherubsconference.org Newsletters - with the cost of printing 2600 newsletters and postage costs, it currently cost over $1000 for each newsletter printing and mailing. New Member Packets - with an average of 1 new member daily, we have become financially unable to mail out New Member Packets.   These cost an average of $25 each with items, printing and postage and they include information folders with newsletters, our Parent Reference Guide, journal, tote bag, baby blanket, newborn "I'm a Cherub" shirt, pen, chapstick for baby, and more. 2 Employees - with over 1800 members, it's too much for 1 full-time volunteer and many part-time volunteers.  Currently, Dawn, our only full-time volunteer, works on CHERUBS 60 hours a week answering phone calls, doing new member work-ups, keeping up with the mail, updating the web site, organizing the volunteers, writing the newsletter, tabulating survey results, etc.  We are just getting too big and we need help. Operating Costs - to cover postage, printing, and supplies.  It adds up and Dawn and our Advisors often cover costs out of their own pockets when funds are not available. So where do donations go?  Currently donations are covering our operating costs and what conferences we can afford.  We would like donations to go directly to medical research and emergency funds for families to help cover expenses while their cherubs are hospitalized.  You can click here to view CHERUBS Financial Info
