Putting The "Hope" In Family Hope Charity

We are pleased to let you know that our two Chicago area fundraisers were a terrific success! The "Rock, Pizza and Pop" event on March 5, 2011, raised $1,300 and the Irish concert for Africa on March 12, 2011, raised approximately $2,500.

Think about it: almost $4,000 raised painlessly - with amazing music, delicious but simple food and a whole lot of goodwill on the part of attendees. They snapped up raffle tickets by the dozens and stuffed the donation baskets with above-and-beyond financial offerings. That's been the whole point of our "5 K 4 Africa" campaign. If many people give, whatever they can - on Saturday night, some folks threw a $50 into the donation hat, some tossed in a couple of singles - it all adds up. Together, we accomplish so much more than we can as individuals, right? If our story inspires you, please help us out by making a donation, in whatever amount that might be. You can send it to our fiscal sponsor, listed below. (Make checks payable to The Staudinger Foundation) You can make a secure online donation via Paypal on the Web site of Totus Tuus, our other fiscal sponsor.
