Some Great Local Fundraiser Events Coming Up

There are a few things that I do each year to help raise funds for various charities or foundations and as the year is progressing, the calendar of events is starting to fill up.

Most of the events that we do are for the March of Dimes.  We have a family team that we are a part of and so we participate in the annual “Bowling for Babies” event that is really a ton of fun.  Anyone in the area can go and spend the afternoon bowling, eating, drinking and trying to win some great raffles. 

We also participate in the annual walk, March for Babies in Pittsburgh.  We walk in memory of a sweet angel, Kaydence and walk in honor of her brother who was born early and spent the first few weeks of his life in NICU and then again when he contracted RSV. 

I have already added the widget to my sidebar for this year’s walk in trying to raise funds for the organization. If you have a walk in your area, I encourage you to participate.  It is a great way to help out babies and it will definitely make you feel good.

Another event that has been brought to my attention in this area is the Walk for Alex.  It is taking place in North Park in April.  His story and the details can be found here.

If you have any other events going on in your area or in the Pittsburgh area, please let me know.  I would love to check them out and see if I can join in on the fun and charity.
