Did you know November is Adoption Awareness Month?
Since I am currently interning at Madison Adoption Associates we thought it would be a great idea to have a picnic November 1, 2008 for all our adoptive families, friends and anyone else interested in adoption. The picnic will also be a fundraiser for Madison, in hope to support the ongoing efforts of adoption.
I would be especially appreciative of any support you could provide
(please see below on how you could help).
As I truly believe this is an incredible cause, this internship has been moving and extremely inspirational because I realize it is organizations like Madison that are greatly affecting the lives of children.
Madison began placing children in 1981 and is currently assisting with adoptions in China and Japan. We are also working on developing new programs in Ghana and Burkina Faso. Along with these efforts, Madison is developing a domestic adoption program that is highly desirable due to its flexibility and availability of infants
Today, although we still operate as a small agency, our efforts over the last 27 years have resulted in more than 1500 children knowing the joy of belonging to a loving family.
Here is how you can help:
Making a cash or check donation to Madison Adoption Associates which will be used to buy products to be raffled off during our November Picnic
We also would love your personal involvement if you would be more interested in donating a specific item to be raffled off such as,
*Gift Cards that can be used nationally (Target, Wal-Mart, Barnes and Noble, Chain Restaurants etc.)
*Items for Children ranging in age, infants to teenagers, examples of these items are:
-Bicycles -Regal Cinema Tickets -Books -Clothing -Sporting Equipment
*Items for adults *Items for Pets *Items for families
Money raised during the Picnic Raffle will assist Madison in realizing our mission of placing children with loving families:
Waiving fees for families adopting waiting children
Aiding in the development of new programs in Ghana and Burkina Faso, Africa
Helping support an orphanage in China
Supporting the development of our domestic program
*All Donations are tax deductible; Madison will send you a receipt after we receive your donation
We will need all donations by October 20th.
