2013 David Archuleta Christmas/Birthday Project from Crush Kids' Cancer!

Crush Kids' Cancer: The Kids' Chapter:

2013 David Archuleta Christmas/Birthday Project 

As many of you may remember, last year around this time, The Kids' Chapter held our David Archuleta Christmas/Birthday Project, selling ornaments with proceeds going to Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels as our Christmas and Birthday gift to David.

This year, we're at it again with a newly designed ornament made by The Kids' Chapter team member Lynsey!

From now (Nov 1) to the end of the year (Dec 31), you have the chance to purchase this new ornament and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Crush Kids' Cancer as our Christmas/Birthday gift to David!

The ornament is $13.95 and will hang nicely on every Archie's Christmas tree, or could be a great stocking stuffer! If you do not celebrate Christmas but still want to be a part of this project, you can always purchase an ornament and give it to someone you know will love it, or donate it to a local hospital, etc.

Like last year, after this project concludes, we will be letting David know how many ornaments sold and how much was raised for Crush Kids' Cancer!

Last year's project was a success, let's make this year's project an even bigger success! 

You can go HERE to purchase our new Crush Kids' Cancer ornament!

Join Crush Kids' Cancer's Bone Marrow Registry Challenge!

From Pecan Pie:

Hello Archies! At the beginning of October, I issued the following challenge to the entire Crush Kids’ Cancer (CKC) SU2C team:

"THE BONE MARROW REGISTRY CHALLENGE: This year, our challenge is to become the team with the most registered bone marrow donors." 
We are expanding that challenge to say that we, the Archie fanbase, will be the group most committed to promoting bone marrow matches for those in need. The Archie fan spearheading this effort will be Ashley, captain of the new Kids’ Chapter of CKC. 

In order to participate, all you need to do, is add your name to the list stating that you have helped or intend to help in any way, no matter how big or small. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/archies-angels-bone-marrow-registry-challenge/

Ways you can help may include:
1) Educating yourself about the bone marrow registry process (if you read my next entry that qualifies)
2) Learning about a person in need of a transplant (if you have ever read anything about Jonah, that counts)
3) Promoting awareness of a person in need (e.g., the AFAC project for Jonah)
4) Promoting awareness to others about the bone marrow registry
5) Becoming a member of the bone marrow registry
6) Encouraging others to register
7) Donating time or money to any of the organizations involved in registering donors (e.g., Be the match http://marrow.org/Home.aspx, DKMS http://www.dkmsamericas.org/, Gift of Life http://www.giftoflife.org/Give/?gclid=CM_2hMnq0qwCFQM75Qod9h-QqA )

If you plan to help in any one of these ways, please add your name and see how long a list we can get for Ashley to give to David at the NYC VIP.

Stay tuned for 2 more posts on the bone marrow registry basics and the awesomeness of becoming a bone marrow donor.

Pecan Pie out

Yes, I'm the Ashley that Pecan Pie is referring to haha. Be sure to add your name to the list if you've participated in bone marrow registry or are planning to. And if you haven't, no worries, there will be lots of projects ahead with Crush Kids' Cancer, mainly focusing around the younger Archies to get kids more involved in helping not only with bone marrow registry, but cancer research as well. Thanks everyone!
