Every couple of months here at MissMalaprop.com I’ll be setting up a new fundraiser page via Firstgiving to raise money for worthwhile charities. The first charity fundraiser ran during January and February and raised $225 for Big Brothers-Big Sisters of Southeast Louisiana.
In conjunction with Earth Day, I’ve picked The Green Project & Recycle for the Arts for the March-April fundraiser.
In order to help encourage donations (no amount is too small!), I’ve rounded up some great donated handmade goods, including many recycled items, to be given away to one of the participants who donate to this fundraiser. The winner will be chosen at random.
The prize pack (pictured above) includes recycled bottlecap magnets and an altered art tag from BornLippy, pressed flower resin pendant from greenKangaroo, blank greeting cards featuring artwork by Sharon Foster Art, and a recycled acid wash denim handbag and pin made from recycled FEMA blue tarp, made by me, dismantled designs. The total retail value is over $100!
To learn more about this fundraiser or to donate money, check out the fundraiser page at Firstgiving. Please help spread the word and feel free to contact me with suggestions for future charities!

Good luck with the fundraiser!
So far I win!
Thanks Rachelle!
Bridget, I know, I bet you’re hoping no one else donates now, huh?
Of course, you put this up as I’m in my “Let’s donate 10% of my tax refund to a charity” phase. Working in NPOs now, naturally, makes it really hard to decide who.
But Arts + Nola + Environmentalism may take the cake.
Your necklace is on it’s way! Let me know when it get’s there–I’m testing the mail system. ;P
