The Bubel/Aiken
Foundation is proud to announce a nationwide holiday gift-wrapping
fundraiser, "Wrapping for Inclusion."
From November 19-December 24,
volunteers of The Bubel/Aiken Foundation will set up gift-wrapping
booths at stores and malls across the country and wrap gifts in
exchange for donations. The donations will support the mission
statement of the foundation, serving the vision of inclusion
opportunities for children of all abilities.
Monies raised will help fund projects of The Bubel/Aiken Foundation
including its YMCA initiative. This summer, camps for children with
and without disabilities, were instituted by the Foundation in
collaboration with YMCAs in Kansas City, Missouri and the North
Carolina cities of Concord and Raleigh.
We have secured locations to wrap in many states and cities across the
country and we are seeking more wrappers! We are looking for
volunteers of all ages and abilities. You can give as much or as
little time as you would like! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to
participate in any way possible!
Why not:
 |
Get a team of teachers, students,
and parents together and make it a community service project.
|
|
Post a notice in your church
newsletter or bulletin and form a team to give back for the holiday
season. |
|
Volunteer for a day with your
family to celebrate the spirit of giving. |
|
Gather a group of students from
your school and pair with students from a special needs school to
promote inclusion and make some new friends. |
|
Ask charitable organizations in
your community to make a donation of their time and help wrap for an
evening. |
|
Have a friendly competition
between two groups, grades, classes, organizations, etc. and see who
can log the most wrapping hours. |
|
Ask your local Boy Scout or Girl
Scout troop to get involved. |
Come one, come all and join in the
fun! Every person no matter what your age or ability is encouraged to
be a part of this great event! You decide how much time you can give
and when you would like to wrap.
We are also seeking donations of wrapping supplies: seasonal or
plain-colored wrapping paper, bows, ribbons, tape, scissors or
monetary donations to purchase these supplies.
To volunteer for this great project, to donate supplies or money, or
for more information, please e-mail the Wrapping for Inclusion Project
Management Team at
