• Bob and Arlene wanted to share their 25th anniversary with family and friends, but need a cure for their daughter more than silver candy dishes. The invitation included a card so guests could give Gifts of Hope in honor of Amanda.
• Anna and Ken included a note about JustADollarPlease.org in their Christmas cards inviting people to donate. They have raised almost $3,000!
• A family on Staten Island has a JustADollarPlease.org jar on their hardward store counter. (Don’t own a store? Tell the story to your favorite restaurant, beauty salon, hardware store, pharmacy and ask them to become a ‘Business Buddy’ and put out a container.)
• Lana used to eat a candy bar every day. She gave that up to join the ‘Dollar A Day Support Squad”.
• Plan an event where everyone brings dollars … one family held a Hawaiian Wine and Cheese Party, in costume, in the middle of winter! Use your imagination.
“No Birthday Present, Please.” For his 7th birthday, Daniel asked party guests to forego presents and bring gifts forJustADollarPlease.org. Thank you, Daniel!
