Breastfeeding Benefits 2010
LLLC-Hamilton Morning in Breastfeeding Benefits 2009
Why not host a Breastfeeding Benefits event this year? Every summer from coast to coast, we get together with family and friends. You can make a fundraising event out of everything from a barbeque to a gourmet dinner to a cycle-a-thon. Simply set your goal, announce to family, friends, co-workers and neighbours that you are having a fundraiser. You can collect pledges, pass the hat, levy a fee or hold a "virtual" fundraiser. Use your imagination to hold a unique-to-you and fun event.
Start collecting pledges today to help us help more mothers and babies!
Need help with deciding the type of event you want to hold? See our suggestions to help you get started.
Hold a:
Garage sale
Picnic or potluck
Pool/beach party
Dinner, tea or garden party
Karaoke night
Movie night
Chocolate desserts party with silent auction
Compete in a:
marathon
- bowling or golf tournament
- cook off
Celebrate:
life events like birthdays and anniversaries
- graduations
Create a virtual campaign:
use Canada Helps to create a personal event page and ask contacts, friends and co-workers to support you
- create a Facebook page to promote breastfeeding and ask people for support
- host a meeting of Twitter friends to share breastfeeding information and information on how to donate
- have a MySpace page and ask visitors for support
Hold a non-event, no-pledge event:
set up a coin jar fundraiser on your desk or counter.
- set up a penalty jar (e.g. if you fall off the diet-wagon, you pay a penalty by adding your fine to the jar)
- host a non-tea party (send an invitation and tea bag to all your contacts, ask them to have a cup of tea on you while they are writing a cheque for their donation)
- set a personal goal and ask people to donate if you reach your goal (e.g. losing 20 lbs this summer)
If you prefer to join one of the dozens of La Leche League Canada Groups participating in our Breastfeeding Benefits events contact the Leader in your area.
