Lil Miracles Fundraiser

Please join us for the Lil Miracles Fundraiser to benefit The Signing Time Foundation. I have partnered with the National Down Syndrome Support Buddy Walk 2012 to bring Emmy nominated TV personality Rachel Coleman of Signing Time to Chicago for the very first time. Rachel has been teaching children to use Sign Language to communicate and has been advocating for children with Special Needs for over 10 years. So, now it is time for her Chicago fans to get a chance to meet her in person and watch a FREE concert at the Chicagoland Buddy Walk on October 14, 2012. The Lil Miracle’s fundraising event will help make the concert possible as well as make it FREE for all of Chicagoland to enjoy.

Our fundraiser will be a great night to support local small business around the Chicagoland area. We have invited over 24 small business vendors to provide a night of shopping. Please see the attached flyer for a list of just a few of them. We will have a 50/50 Split the Pot, Silent Auction as well as chances to win some amazing raffle prizes donated by our vendors, as well as other local Chicago business. We even invited the Gold Rush Girls to our event. They will evaluate your old, unwanted, broken gold, platinum & silver and give immediate payment on the spot! If in doubt, bring it!

What a great way to shop for Mothers & Fathers Day gifts, as well as support two great non-profit organizations who support children with special needs.

Please invite your friends and help spread the word. If you would like to help out by hanging flyers, I would be happy to print some copies and bring them to you. I will also send out an E-invite to track those that plan to attend, so watch for that email and please RSVP if you plan to attend.
