Dec. 6th CDV Holiday Orphanage Trip And Pledge Drive    

We need your arms to hug a child on Saturday, Dec. 6th for our 6th Annual Holiday Orphanage Trip and Pledge Drive. Two busses are already sold out! Two busses still have seats but hurry before they sell out as well. The trip cost is only $40.00 for transportation and lunch at the orphanage with the children. Register today!
 
This is also a major fundraiser for CDV where we ask that everyone donate or get at least $60.00 to feed one child for one month. This is the best gift we can possibly give to the children and we need your help. A super easy way to fundraise is to build your own pledge page. Click on the "Become a Fundraiser" link at top, create a login, add some heartfelt text, a photo and set a goal. Then send to everyone in your address book, upload to Facebook, MySpace or other social network page and we promise you will reach you goal easily.
 
If you need help, CDV can build your page, add some text and insert a fun picture of the kids. Email info@corazondevida.org and we'll build your page ASAP.
 
The pledge pages will be open until December 31st so you have the month of December to help us reach our goal of $75,000. You do not need to participate on the December 6th orphanage trip to build your page. Remember, an online pledge campaign is the easiest, most fun, and proven way to fundraise. People want to give, they just need to know how.
 
CDV will have 4 busses departing Los Angeles, Irvine, and San Diego to visit 4 different orphanages bringing Holiday spirit and good cheer to the children. Please check the schedule and register for a bus. Do not forget to bring your smiles, arms to hug and Holiday spirit.

Gracias por su Ayuda (Thanks for your Help) !  
  • Apogee Electronics for their longtime support of CDV and recently, whenever an artist records music in their studio, CDV gets 100% of the proceeds!

  • Cal State Fullerton Students who said "Yes We Can" to organizing fundraising events in support of their orphanage visit on November 15th! They raised $1881.00!! Instead of saying "we are too busy" they went out and had car washes and other events. Thank you Amy Mattern and the students of the CSUF Volunteer and Service Center. You are all making a difference!

  • Our CDV child sponsors who continue to help us with our mission to feed and support 750 children living at 14 Baja orphanages - we could not do it without you!
