Spread the Word

Please help to spread the word about Sam’s Family Fun Day 2010.

A few ways you can do that include:

• Sending an email about Sam’s Family Fun Day 2010 to all your friends inviting them to come to the event and also to donate.  Be sure to include a link to the Sam’s Day website (http://www.SamsDayTexas.org) and also to the Sam’s Day 2010 donation page (http://www.ParentProjectMD.org/2010SamDonate).
• Sign up as an ambassador at http://www.ParentProjectMD.org/Ambassador2010 and invite all your friends, family and coworkers you know to donate through your ambassador page.
• Ask local merchants, business owners, service providers, companies that you do business with if they would be willing to donate an item for the Sam’s Day Silent Auction to help raise money.
• Ask any one with memorabilia or connects to a sports team, famous person, etc if they’d be willing to donate a signed item to be auctioned off.
• Contact your local newspaper, tv, radio, favorite blogs or other news outlet to see if they’d run a piece about Sam’s Day 2010.

Thanks for helping to spread the word!

Volunteers Needed

If you are interested in volunteering at Sam’s Day 2010, please email Stacey Magee at Stacey.Magee[at]ingclarion[dot]com and let her know if you are able to volunteer and if you know of others who might like to participate.  She’s begun the process of staffing the event and could use all the volunteers she can get.   On the day of the event, she needs volunteers to help with everything from greeting people, attending to the bounce houses, helping with the Silent Auction, directing cars, etc.

Volunteers are usually asked to arrive at 9 am since the event starts at 10 am and it goes until 2 pm on Saturday, October 24, 2009.  If you can’t attend the whole time, please let Stacey know in advance so she can plan accordingly.

If you’d like to be part of the fundraising efforts too, just  let Stacey know as well.

Even if volunteering doesn’t work for you this year, please do spread the word and come out with your friends and families to support the event and enjoy the day.  Feel free to pass out the brochure and poster to others to let them know about the event.

We are looking forward to another great event and as always, we appreciate your help.
