Pennies for Penny Auction

Do you own a business? Would you like to do something great for a family in need and get a little plug here for your generousity?  http://www.pennies4penny.org/ is a website for a little girl here in SD that has (along with her parents) had a really crummy month.  If you are keeping up with her blog, they have had some very promising news in the last couple days, but they are not out of the woods yet.  As stated in my previous blog post, her medical bills are through the roof despite having insurance.

Her family has set up an informational & fundraising website for those who are interested in Penny's journey.  They will be having an auction to help pay for her medical bills coming up March 19th.  If any of my readers have something to contribute please click on her link & contact them directly - but also email me here - I will be posting the auction when it is up and running & I will give any of my generous readers a special plug with a link to their website.

As far as I know, this is NOT a tax write off - this is just a do it out of the goodness of your heart kinda thing - which I know my readers have ALOT of. =)

I don't know the family exactly - I went to High School with Penny's Aunt and as a mom of two little ones myself I am simply obsessed with her story.  Please let me know if you are able to help! I would LOVE to give you a shout out and I would LOVE for my readers to help Penny's mommy & daddy have one less thing to worry about.

  1. Hi - I would like to host a fundraiser with Avon. I will donate 20% of my proceeds to them through my link. I tried to e-mail them, but the site keeps saying "forbidden". Please e-mail me directly so I can work out the details?

  2. hi Gigi ~ that is AWESOME - I just looked too at their site & apparently it is crashing but they are working on it - are you on facebook? you could join the 'Pennies 4 Penny' fan page & contact them there w/ your Avon party idea - I am sure they would LOVE it! SInce the site has crashed, that is probably the fastest way to get ahold of them, or just wait out the technical difficulties - let me know when you have it all set up - I will post a plug for you here!
