Fundraising Page for The PEACE (Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere) Fund Page

I have started a fundraiser page on
First Giving
to raise money for
The PEACE (Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere) Fund.

You can find it at

www.firstgiving.com/thepeacefundfanpage

If you are able to donate please do.

Thank you!!

The PEACE Fund **Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere** Merchandise Link Included

I know I should have posted this much much earlier so people could buy for Christmas. I am really sorry about that.

However, there are many other gift giving holidays coming up or buy for yourself or as a just because I love you or like you gift for someone else.

The PEACE Fund "Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere" is a recognized charity started by the actor Adrian Paul. Its focus is to collect money through fundraisers, donations, auctions, and selling merchandise to help other underfunded, smaller and quite frankly children's charities that the main media does NOT cover.

They do not spend millions of dollars on television, print, radio or internet advertising. I think most can think of at least 2 or 3 big children's charities that do. Many people (like me) probably first heard about the charity by going to his website because they were either a fan of his or the television show "Highlander: the series".

I do not write much about charities, but this one definitely caught my eyes and I did more research on it. I do not have kids and do not plan on having them, but I have 7 great nieces and nephews along with my friends and neighbors kids. I have 1 nephew who has autism and 1 friend who's daughter was diagnosed with MS last year.

I unfortunately do not have the financial means (the store I currently work at is closing the end of January 2009) to donate or purchase merchandise, but I can at least help spread the word around.

So, please check out the website to learn more and perhaps to donate, buy something, or to find out how to volunteer.


Some of the items you can purchase are t-shirts, baseball hats, doggie shirts, tote bags, coffee mugs, note cards, mouse pad, and more.
