SUMMARY: #GNO Live - Moms Helping Moms Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION: Mom It Forward, in partnership with 12for12K, is kicking off 6-weeks of fundraising for moms and by moms (Tuesday, March 31 through Tuesday May 13) and we need your help!    On Saturday, April 18, Mom It Forward and 12for12K events will be taking place all over the US, in Canada, and in Australia (see list of locations below) to raise funds and awareness for Yehu Microfinance, BasaBody, and Coast Coconut Farms. The goal? To combat poverty by empowering poor rural entrepreneurs in Kenya to help lift themselves out of poverty through enhanced accessibility to sustainable financial services, business opportunities, and skills training.    HOW YOU CAN HELP    Our goal is to raise $35,000 for Yehu Microfinance (click here to learn more about donations) and sell $5,000 worth of Basa Body and Coast Coconut Farms product like mint chocolate truffle and cherry soap with coconut oil (shown left) or hand lotion (shown below). Cash donations or product purchases is certainly one way to help and is much appreciated.    We recognize not everyone can donate cash during these tough financial times. Therefore, we have come up with many ways to contribute:       1. Be part of a Moms Helping Moms event planning committee in your area.     2. Volunteer at a Moms Helping Moms event.     3. Donate product or services for the event (the venue, food, raffle items, etc.).     4. Help us publicize it on and offline.     5. Attend the event.     6. If there is not an event listed for your area, consider putting one together. We have a team and materials in place to help with this initiative.    WHERE ARE THE EVENTS TAKING PLACE?    Mom It Forward and 12for12K are working with volunteers within our communities all over the US, Canada, and Australia to support Yehu Microfinance, BasaBody, and Coast Coconut Farms through fundraising efforts. The live events listed below (details to come) are being planned and carried out by amazingly giving teams of volunteers in local areas. The success of these events relies on terrific volunteer involvement and every team is looking for help. If you have time, services, or products you would be willing to donate, please e-mail us at momitforward AT gmail DOT com so we can put you in touch with the team leader in your area.
