Message from CAHPERD President-Elect

Dear CAHPERD Members,  It is my pleasure to announce several fundraising campaigns that will be going on this year! The past few years have impacted CAHPERD. Costs have gone up and income from the conferences and membership is down. We have come up with some FUN FUNdraising opportunities! We hope you will support CAHPERD by participating in these fundraisers and encouraging others to support us and our mission. We will roll out the fundraisers throughout this year. CAHPERD always accepts donations!  On Going AmazonSmile - Shop at smile.amazon.com and they will donate 0.5% of eligible purchases to CAHPERD—no fees, no extra cost. You can sign up with your current account!  November - December 10th, 2022 Lynch Creek Farms - Shop Lynch Creek Farms for all your holiday needs! They will donate 15% of the eligible purchase! Go to this link and check out the beautiful products! (I have personally bought their wreaths every year and they are gorgeous, fresh, and last all season!) Lynch Creek Farms Order January 20, 2023   Panda Express Fundraiser- Come support CAHPERD by eating PANDA on Jan. 20th! More info will be coming closer to the date on how you can support this event!  March 2023  Got Sneakers Fundraiser - “GotSneakers" has developed a unique fundraising program that asks communities to reach into their closets, not their pockets! The sneaker recycling program helps keeps sneakers out of landfills, which has harmful effects on our environment, and helps organizations like ours raise much-needed funds. The program is truly a win-win! CAHPERD will be launching this fundraiser at the State Conference! Save up your sneakers to donate! More info will come closer to the date!   Thank you for your support!  Kathy Russell CAHPERD President-Elect
