This is, of course, our signal to daydream about weekend plans. Our agenda includes another installment in the ‘Let’s-See-Them-Before-They-Die‘ concert series, hanging with the short people and catching up on some sleep. And you? Perhaps this is a chance to mow the lawn or read an e-Book? Maybe you want to ponder the future without a debt deal in Washington? Whatever you do, have a great time and be safe.

While this isn’t what you might expect on a dental blog, what can I say, I’m a sucker for good causes! Who is The Fresh Air Fund A not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences in the country to more than 1.7 million New York City children from disadvantaged communities. Each year, thousands of children visit volunteer host families in 13 states and Canada through the Friendly Town Program or attend Fresh Air Fund camps(FreshAir.org). Naturally, not-for-profit organizations such as The Fresh Air Fund rely heavily, if not solely on fundraising and donations. That’s where Dental Heroes readers, and anyone ...

Here are five ways to share your breastfeeding books to benefit other mothers (and the environment). 1. Donate pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and parenting books to your local La Leche League library. LLL groups have free lending libraries, usually allowing mothers to check out books for a month at a time. If you’re not sure whether a book is on the approved LLL list, pass it on anyway and the leaders will either put it in the library, sell it as part of a fundraiser, or pass it on in another appropriate way. 2. Donate them worldwide through LLL’s Lucy Shares proje...

Sally Leiverman is organizing a fundraiser to raise $89,130 for Ana and also for a non-profit organization that provides services for special needs children, the Eden Prairie News notes. I’ve never added up the sum total of all we’ve spent on Charlie—-things can add up and up. Is there a limit to how much you can spend, and should there be?

If not, how can we wangle the odds in our favour?It’s time for the school fund raiser, the Walkathon, where the children walk around the field for as many laps as they can manage. Each year we have attended. The first year we just attended and did not participate. The following year we attended and participated, in a manner of speaking. This year, it may be time to step up to the plate and tackle the sponsorship form.We are already practicing our ‘trick or treat’ skills through modeling, social stories and kinesthetic learning. This would tie in quite well. Go to someone’s house. Avoid being squished by traffic. Use path. Do not walk on grass or flowerbeds. Avoid hedges, think of them as walls not hurdles. Find and rin...

But for women in Terra Haute, IN, their Carnation-selling fundraiser kicks off by painting their town pink -- literally. Well, ok, it's only one ribbon, but one ribbon signifies so much ... survival. Proceeds from the fundraiser, organized by the local Breast Cancer Survivors group, funds the chance for six women to attend a national conference on the disease in Washington, DC. Proceeds also go towards funding their initiatives -- to educate and provide support.I'm always inspired by groups that pull together in the fight against cancer.

It was a beautiful Saturday to take a stroll on the boardwalk. My dad flew in from Arizona for the event and my mom drove from Philadelphia. I'm very lucky that my parents are so supportive. The Shirley Mae Breast Cancer Assistance Fund was started by Roy Goldberg to honor his mother, Shirley Mae, who survived breast cancer. The fund assists breast cancer patients in the south-eastern area of New Jersey with the cost of medicine, wigs, prostheses, and anything else needed to relieve financial stress so they can focus on healing and becoming survivors too.
