Fundraiser (2) Girls Night *IN*

Calling all ladies...  

Here's a simple and fun way for you to get involved and help me raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation...

Host a ***GIRLS NIGHT IN *** for Make-A-Wish! 

I am looking for ten (or more) lovely ladies to volunteer to host their own girls night "in" between now and the end of June.

It's really quite simple.

1. Invite a group of your girlfriends over for an evening of girly fun.
2. If you're a Mom, try to make the kids and husband disappear for a few hours.
3. Choose a format that appeals to your particular friends. It might be a nice meal, pedicures and facials, a chick-flick movie night, an evening of games or simple coffee and cookies mixed with "girl talk"... whatever your pleasure, you can get people to chip in for the food or you can be choose to cover the costs associated with hosting.

Where does the fundraising come in?

Ask your guests to make a donation based on what they would spend if they went out instead. Tax receipts from the Make-A-Wish Foundation will be available for all donations of $20 or more.  

If 10 people host 6 of their friends, who donate about $20 each, this fundraiser has the potential of raising over $1000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Please sign up! Please get involved!
