We have started a program in conjunction with DC Candlelighters of Childhood Cancer Foundation called Change 4 Change. Collect your change to change a child’s life. Your change will change a child’s life. Because kids can not fight cancer alone…... Most of the families that have a child that has been diagnosed of cancer, one of them have to quit their job and take care of the child. Therefore, they are in need of food gift cards, gas cards, and supplies for daily living. 100% of the funds donated will be used for children that have been diagnosed with cancer. They are supplied with gift cards, hospital bags, hand made blankets, and various other supplies. There are FIVE easy steps to complete this program. |

1. Each person participating starts with an empty clean container or jar to collect their change from family and friends. Place the label that is provided on the below link to place on their container. [they are not to go door to door and solicit for donations, due to safety reasons] ++Groups can also place containers at schools, classrooms, events, etc. as long as the facility approves the project. 2. Purchase your patch for participating. 3. Set a date that the change will be turned into your group, troop, or organization. [this could be 3-6 months, don't have it be too long as they will forget about it] You could also give prizes to the top collectors of your group. 4. Have a location that they will turn the container in at. A dance, meeting, or event. Once the money is collected then the organization, family, or group can: OPTION ONE: Write one check per group that participated . If you have checks in your jar already they can be included in the batch with your group. Make sure that checks are made payable to: “ DC Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation” OPTION TWO: Donate your money online at their site. Please note if someone in your group donates money on line and you are competing for a prize they can place the confirmation of the donation in the jar, for when it is counted.
