Creativity4aCause launches first campaign to raise money for Room To Read!
I am very pleased to announce the start of my latest venture Creativity4aCause! Creativity4aCause’s mission is simple: to use the power of creativity to make a difference for children by using raised funds to help build schools. I am excited to announce that our first project is now underway raising money for Room to Read! I, along with two of my friends, Janet Friedman and Linda McGivern have taken on the challenge to raise $15,000 by January 1, 2008 to build a permanent school in Nepal which will be build in 2008!
Why? About a month ago, I had the opportunity to meet John Wood, the founder of Room to Read, and I was totally blown away by this guy’s commitment to results in terms of building schools and libraries in third world countries that are SUSTAINABLE. John has a book out that details his journey from the world of Microsoft to the world of non-profit called Leaving Microsoft to Change the World. It’s a phenomenal book and worth a read. Give yourself that gift!
You can also check out a video on their work at frontline here.
We plan on visiting the school at its groundbreaking ceremony in Nepal in 2008!
Want to help with the cause??? I hope so. You can do so by clicking here!
And if you donate at least $50 by November 15th, I’ll send you a powerpoint with 197 quotes on leadership, creativity and innovation as a thank you gift! This .ppt is already set up to go to use as a slideshow for meetings, presentations etc!
Creativity4aCause! is also excited to announce that coming soon will be creative thinking and innovation tip sheets for sale which profits going towards Charity.. how fun is that????!!!
