July Special--Just For Camps
We have received dozens upon dozens of emails from camps who have spots open. Obviously, sponsoring a daily newsletter is your best bet since you are the first thing everyone sees each day when they read their list & there is no limit on characters, you can add logos/photos, etc. However, we realize that money is tight all around right now so during the week of July 13, we will run camp information all week long in our daily lists for just $25 (breaks down to $5/day). This means that we will run your camp information every day for 5 days in the main list. There are some limitations (about character maximum). If you want to receive double exposure, you can sponsor a newsletter AND take advantage of this special. If you are interested in participating, please send an email to leslie@parkcityjane.com. We need all information by July 10 in order to participate.

Oscar Litwak Foundation

Formed to honor the memory of Oscar Litwak, who died from cancer at the age of 4, by providing children requiring hospitalization and/or long-term medical treatment the opportunity to find an environment that is familiar, non-threatening and fun. The mission of the Oscar Litwak Foundation is to improve the quality of life of sick children while receiving long term medical treatment. The Foundation strives to make the child's stay in the hospital as enjoyable and comfortable as possible by creating fun playroom environments and establishing recreational programs in pediatric clinics in the United States. The Oscar Litwak Foundation creates portable playrooms that provide much needed joy and entertainment to hospitalized children. These Mobile Playrooms are specially manufactured carts filled with toys, books, arts and crafts material that can be wheeled from one room to the next, serving a great number of patients. For my twins 4th birthday coming up, we have asked all of the children to bring unwrapped art supplies to help stock an art cart instead of bringing gifts. I told Ben and Josh I would take them to pick out something at Toys R Us as a thank you for sharing their birthday with the Oscar Litwak Foundation. The mobile playrooms will be placed in pediatric institutions that do not have playroom facilities or where children, due to physical limitations, diagnosis or medical treatment are not able to leave their room. To this day, they have shipped 50 units to Children's Hospitals and clinics across the country and 1 to Israel. For more information, www.OscarLitwakFoundation.org
