$10,000 IN BIG FUN BUCKS IN 2010!
fistful of dollars - donation goal Please help us raise $10,000 in Big Fun Bucks in 2010. These are dollar bills that contain a "B" and/or an "F" in the serial number. We have quite a way to go, so your involvement can make a big difference. It's one of the few times that you can give a few "bucks" at a time and feel really good about it. And we love it at this end, too.

"Thank you, Boomer Esiason Foundation, for collaborating with The Big Fun Foundation to generously donate Big Fun Boxes to our program. The children are enjoying the Boxes. They are great distractions for them while in the hospital. Thank you for your support of our program and for your sensitivity to the needs of hospitalized children."

WHY SUPPORT THE BIG FUN FOUNDATION?
LindseyYou're in the hospital, staring at the ceiling. This is your third hospitalization in 2 months. So bored. So uncomfortable. Mom is tired and is dozing in the chair next to your bed. There is nothing to do but watch television and you're tired of that, too.

And then you get a Big Fun Box!
THE BIG FUN NATION

Big Fun Boxes were delivered to the Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital in Jacksonville for their pediatric and head injury patients. This is a wonderful facility serves 28 counties.

 

We're also working with an Atlanta-based company hoping to get Big Fun Boxes to several hospitals in the Atlanta area. This company wants to use The Big Fun Boxes as its ongoing community service project. And help us raise funds for more!

 

How about your employer? Let us know if you think your employer would like to do the same.


Open Box with tag line

6,160 Big Fun Boxes have been donated to children in 73 hospitals in
32 states and Washington, D.C.


Watch for The Big Fun Buzz during the third week of each month. We'll keep you updated on the buzz we're creating.
