EMPLOYEE GIVING CAMPAIGN
Did you know? This is the time of year when corporations start coordinating their employee giving / payroll (often referred to as a "United Way") campaigns to identify the charities to which employees can donate. These programs are a great way to help increase awareness of NF and secure additional funds for NF research. Could you contact your employer's HR department to ask if they can add the Children's Tumor Foundation to the list of eligible charities?
Later in the fall, when the campaign begins, you can reach out to your colleagues and ask that they elect the Children's Tumor Foundation as one of their designated charities. Many companies provide the opportunity for those employees who volunteer to help with the payroll campaign to "promote" the charity of their choice.
Since the Endurance Team is a national program of the Foundation, these donations, including the company match, go directly to fund NF research and medical programs. Encourage your co-workers to indicate "NF Endurance" in the comment section for both their donation and company match.

NF HERO CHARM NECKLACE
Lauren Murchinson will donate proceeds from her custom charm necklaces to the Children's Tumor Foundation for neurofibromatosis research. 
The handmade charm necklace is 100 percent sterling silver. It consists of two charms with the words "Overcome" and "Endurance." The third charm is a puzzle piece, and can be personalized with your child's name. Each charm necklace includes a sterling silver chain available in your choice of three lengths.
Bracelets cost $45.00. The best part? For each sale, Murchinson will donate $10.50 to the Children's Tumor Foundation, charging only for costs involved in production. "Although I do not have a child sick with NF, I am so happy that this
necklace has become so special to others," says Murchinson.
