Community Service Project

I'm breaking my own rules. I'm doing a promo.

Can you believe it?

But I'm trying to make a community service project out of it. The more clicks I get from you guys the better chance I have at winning some baby swag that I'll donate randomly to a family (or families) here in Philadelphia.  Families that are enrolled in the Parenting Program that I work for.

I've appealed to the marketing agency that appealed to me to appeal to the brands that are sponsoring the promotion to donate some major amounts of stuff- car seats, strollers, diapers, breast pumps, etc. that I, in turn, would distribute to social service agencies here in town. It would be nice to give them some unused, brand name stuff. Don't you think?

I'm trying to do a help me help you help them help us help those guys kind of thing here. Let's see if the participating brands can come through for the little guy.

So what am I promoting?

The documentary BABIES. (please click the picture below as many times as possible. And tell your friends to do the same, it's important that they do it from my blog. They don't have to be regular readers, they just have to click from here for me to get credit.)


I'm a little bit disadvantaged because I don't have Facebook or Twitter or any of that nonsense, so I'm really counting on you guys click on that picture or any of the other BABIES pictures I post here (expect them often) so I get "points" because the more points I get the better chance I have at winning stuff. Stuff I have no personal use for, but stuff that I know plenty of moms in the community who need it way more than you can imagine*. I usually do all my hippie dippie Earth Day stuff throughout April, but this time around I think I might do more hippie dippie child rearing work-related squishy ishy warm fuzzy feeling stuff. It's all the same, really. Save the Earth, save the babies.  Save the Earth for the babies.

Go.

*All you people who hate the Mommy blogger types who are constantly entering and holding contests just so they can get free stuff? This is your chance to make sure that they don't get this stuff and it goes to people who truly do need it.

One thousand thank yous.

I'll click and tweet, and Facebook, and link on my blog. I know I'm only small potatoes but every little bit helps, right?

And as for breaking the no promos rule ... eh - it's your blog and your right to break the rules. It's for a good reason. Go, Lora, go! Let's get those moms who need the help the stuff to help them.

I hope you win.

It's funny because I just mentioned your blog on Karen G's Coming Down the Mountain blog. She was asking for a list of favorites, so I mentioned you. I hope that gets you some more hits.

clickity, click click click. I will also put a link on my blog to send people your way. I think what you do for others is wonderful and I love what you said about those mommybloggers getting all the goods. These goods should go to people that REALLY need them.

Awesome. What a great idea you've had here. I got an email about this movie too and didn't read it all yet, but I can guarantee I wouldn't have thought of such a wonderful idea. I'll just click on you periodically instead:) If I post about it I'll send people your way.

All right, I think the boys are torturing the cat...

'Tis late tonight, but I'll sign up on Facebook tomorrow. They are all so cool. I loved it when the goat came up to drink some of the bathwater, and the cat playing with the little girl's foot.

I need one more thing to try to keep up with, but it is for a noble cause.

Amber Star said...

oh yeah..I'll take a picture of my window sill for you. I'm worn out tonight for some reason.

While I was in the hospital I told some of the nurses about this project. It would have been more effective if I'd been able to remember where to tell them to go. I did tell them about the movie thought.
