Corporate Christmas Warriors
2010 marks our 5th Annual Christmas Angel Tree. It also marks the first time we are specifically reaching out to Christian business and corporate partners to help raise awareness and funds for our waiting orphans with Down syndrome.
This new Corporate Christmas Warriors program is an incredible way for you to give the Gift of a Family, but also to demonstrate your own Christian and philanthropic efforts to your customers and colleagues. CCW is a reciprocal links program, where your company logo will be prominently displayed on our Christmas Warriors list, Angel Tree page, and other important pages within our website. We will provide you with graphics and brochures for your storefront and website locations (as requested), and make it as easy as possible to help a child.
With our win of the 2010 People Magazine Hero of the YEAR award, attendance at (60) Buddy Walks throughout the country, and being presented with the 2010 Congressional Angel in Adoption Award, this will be our biggest Angel Tree ever, and a great opportunity for you to increase your own business awareness while saving a child at the same time. Businesses and churches from all over the world are welcome to participate!
The average cost for a family to adopt a child internationally, thereby saving them from life and death in a mental institution, is about $25,000. I can confidently tell you that if we had a full grant for every child on our website, there would BE no waiting children on our website. The only thing that stands in the way of these children finally having a "forever family" of their own is the cost.
When you sign up using the form below, your organization will commit to raise funds at a certain level for one of the following:
An individual orphan who is still in need of a Christmas Warrior- A general grant fund for our Older Girls with Down syndrome (ages 6+)
- A general grant fund for our Older Boys with Down syndrome (ages 6+)
- Our Voice of Hope fund, which makes it possible for Reece's Rainbow to continue this life saving ministry and grow with the needs of our adopting families and waiting children.
- Connecting the Rainbow, which is our foreign birth family support outreach project
We will provide you with our Corporate Christmas Warrior graphic to use on your advertising and web site from November 1 to December 31. Your organization's logo, linked to your web site, will be displayed on our Corporate Angel Warrior page on our website!
There are many ways to raise money for your company's donation to the Angel Tree.
1. Your employees can donate a portion of their wages and you as an business would donate the total amount from all of your employees to the Angel Tree.
2. Your employees can make their own invididual donations via paypal or by check on our website, and you could do a company match.
3. Set up a table top "Angel Tree" of your own by donating $5 per ornament of your sponsored child/fund and having those available at your place of business. Customers and employees alike can make donations of $35 or more and take an ornament with them!
4. If you are a church, you can take an offering specifically for Reece's Rainbow Angel Tree and provide brochures for your congregation inserted into your church's announcements brochure. Our ministry video (http://bit.ly/RRMinistryVid) would be a perfect way to share about our organization.
5. Purchase and "re-sell" our Christmas Angel Tree promotional items, such as tshirts, sweatshirts, coffee mugs, tote bags, mouse pads, etc, and send the proceeds to Reece's Rainbow for your sponsored child. This would require an upfront purchase on your end, but can make the giving more tangible if you have a storefront business.
6. Donate yourself and count this gift as a sizeable tax deduction! Reece's Rainbow is a 501c3 charitable organization, and all donations are tax deductible.
We so hope you will join us in this special time of fundraising and awareness, and give the gift of a family to an orphan with Down syndrome! SHould you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
