How You Can Help

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched...but are felt in the heart."
   -- Helen Keller

• Donations: Help keep braille literacy alive for children with a gift to Seedlings. Every ten dollar donation makes another braille book possible.*

• Tributes: Dedicate a braille book in honor or memory of a special person or occasion by donating to Seedlings.* We will send a letter to your honoree or the family of the deceased informing them of your kind gift.

• Tribute Cards: Dedicate a braille book in honor of a friend, family member, coworker, or teacher, etc. and receive an elegant card to give to them informing them that a braille book will be inscribed in their name.*

• Fundraising Events:
  Next Event: Barnes & Noble Bookfair on April 24, 2008 hosted by St. Michael School to benefit Seedlings! Mark your calendars now and click the events link above for more information!

• Bowling Pledges: Pledge here for the Bowl-a-thon! Not only will your gift help the bowlers reach their fundraising goals, but your dollars will be put right to work, making much-needed braille books for blind children.

• Volunteering: Seedlings' mission depends on dedicated volunteers. Certified braille transcribers/proofreaders and general office volunteers are needed.

• Fundraising Items: Our unique fundraising items include braille T-shirts, tote bags, jewelry and more!

• GoodSearch: Your searches bring cents to Seedlings. Do you ever search the Internet using Google or Yahoo? Now you can earn money for Seedlings every time you search by using GoodSearch. Just go to www.goodsearch.com and type "Seedlings" in the "Who do you GoodSearch for?" box. Be sure to bookmark the page and use it for all your searches. If just 1000 of you do an average of 2 searches per day, approximately $7300 will be donated to Seedlings each year ... and with that money, we can make 730 more braille books each year!

• Cartridges for Kids: Turn your trash into treasure for Seedlings! By donating used cell phones, and ink cartridges, etc., you can help the environment and Seedlings at the same time. Contact Julie Connoyer (734-427-8552 or seedlink7@aol.com) for more information. Cartridges for Kids (CFK) will send you free postage-paid pre-printed shipping labels or envelopes. You can even get a collection box for your school or business! Once the recyclable items are sent to CFK, Seedlings will be sent a check for your items!

* Please note: To ensure the privacy of our friends and supporters, Seedlings does not rent, sell, or exchange its donor list with any organization or individual. Donations to Seedlings are tax deductible as allowed by law.
