FUND-RAISING OPPORTUNITIES A Match For Kirby Does your company have a matching gift program? It could double your support of the Foundation. United Way Can Be For Kirby, Too Does your company have United Way pledges at your workplace? Although we are not a United Way member, you can designate The Children’s Medical Research Foundation as your recipient, and the funds will be forwarded to us through the United Way Campaign! Simply give your local United Way agency the following information on the Foundation:
Give Kirby Security Tired of taxes? The Foundation now has a brokerage account available that allows you to donate appreciated securities. Why pay tax on the gains when you can realize a charitable deduction of the full market value of your stocks . . . . and it’s for Kirby, too! Contact Brad or Sue Wilson at (708)784-0631 to learn more. Celebrate, And Make It For Kirby Is there a special birthday coming up for a family member or friend? Are you looking for an alternative to the typical “over the hill” gift? Be different. In lieu of gifts, donate to The Children’s Medical Research Foundation. Kirby always loves a party! A Gift Like No Other This holiday season give clients a donation to The Children’s Medical Research Foundation in their name. It’s a gift that won’t gather dust and goes far beyond any other. Go Kasual for Kirby Tired of wearing those heels, hose or ties five days a week? Why not suggest a “Go Kasual for Kirby Day” to your employer? It’s a great way to give a “relaxing feel” to a work day and raise funds for the Foundation. Simply send a memo to the force explaining the day and set the “fee” to participate. Still in school but want to help? How about a “Hat Day” done the same way! It’s fun for the kids and a great way for them to participate in a good cause. No “fee,” just leave an amount up to them.
