What can I do?
A: Here are some ideas!

-In Lieu of Favors: at your LM child's next birthday party make a donation to CWL in honor of your guests. CWL will send theme related "In Lieu Of" cards  directly to you so you can educate your guests on CWL, what we do and help spread LM awareness.

-Host a bake sale

-Direct Sales Online Fundraiser

-Car Wash Fundraiser

-Host a Blanket Making Party: invite your crafty friends and family over to make blankets for LM babies going into surgery. 

-Host a Formula Collection Drive: ask local moms to donate their unopened infant formula to CWL. (Many new moms receive free formula from mailings and from the hospital.)

-Block Yard Sale: invite neighbors to clear out their closets and support a good cause!

Note: all donations are tax exempted under federal law.

Prior to fundraising, please check with your town for information on their gambling laws.

There are MANY options! 

Be creative!

 Get your friends, family and community involved!
