Charity

I do a LOT of charity work. I’ve been blessed with three healthy kids, a wonderful husband, and a job that I love. Why shouldn’t I give back to others in need.

I raise funds through a variety of ways:

+ personal fundraising with my friends and family

+ sales through my business,Brianne’s Basics

+ sales through my online store, http://celebraterecovery.etsy.com

I sell handmade crafts and destash craft supplies. I donate 100% of our sales to various charities and events, both local and national.

In 2010 alone, we have donated over $500 to:

Bears On Patrol and Miles The Bear ~ Broken Loaf Food Pantry ~ CHOC Walk In The Park ~ Friends Like Us ~ Great American 4th Of July Bike Parade ~ Layers Of Love ~ LB Depot For Creative Reuse ~ Love In The Mirror ~ Operation Easter Basket ~ Relay For Life Lakewood ~ Ride For Kids ~ Ronald McDonald House Walk For Kids

My son, Michael, has made me proud. He formed a team for CHOC Walk In The Park, called Mikk’s Kid Krusaders. We’ve also adopted a soldier from Soldier’s Angels

Some of my other accomplishments:

+ Kids Are Heroes Ambassador

+ Friends Like Us HUGS Program Rep

+ Bears On Patrol Supporter

+ started Kids Craft & Charity Corner at the LB Sunday Market

+ launching Friends Like Us HUGS Program in LB with LB Creative and the LB Depot For Creative Reuse
