Wear a Photo Button of Mom on Mother's Day 2008 & Raise Money for Great Causes!

 

Custom Buttons | Buttons of Hope - Putting a face on fundraising | North Carolina


What to do for Mother's Day...same old flowers, card, brunch?
Why not honor your Mom in a special way this year by wearing a photo button with her smiling face!

If you're blessed to have your Mom here to celebrate with -- she might get a kick out of it. And if your Mom has passed then this would be a beautiful way to honor her memory.

Someone (OK my wife Rhonda) said "Why don't you turn this into something extraordinary, something great for Moms and women's charities."

GREAT IDEA!
Simply purchase your buttons and look for your favorite charities when you check out

$1 for each button will be donated to charity. Help me make 11,000 buttons to raise $11,000 in honor of the most important person in the world, Mom!

About michaelgibbons

"A year ago Mike Gibbons had never done any fund-raising. Now he hopes
to change the world" Regan White in "Message in a Button", Charlotte Weekly November 2006.

Upon reading that I was at first taken aback -- not exactly the kind of thing you want to lead with especially if your stated goal is to "change the face of fundraising". But as I thought about it IT IS PRECISELY what I want people to know and now I open all of my fundraising seminars with that line.

Fundraising is not easy nor is it as hard as you might think. I am proof of that and I am out to help ordinary people do extraordinary things -- the task is not easy but the answer is inside of each of us!

I kinda wish Regan had use this opening line instead.. 

"Here's to the crazy ones...because the people who are crazy enough to THINK they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Maybe the combination of the two sums it up -- I have been lucky enough to find a group of remarkable people, my cycling team MojoRiding and together we have become somewhat of a fund raising phenomenon (often in spite of ourselves I might add!) --we raised over $110,000 in 2007 for cancer and multiple sclerosis causes.

So how did we do it? We personalized our cause, we told a story, many stories! And then we took it a step further we made it tangible -- many of us made photo buttons of our loved ones to wear while fundraising -- can't fully explain it but there is just something powerful about these little buttons  --I have seen it make a difference and in some cases all the difference!

I hope you will take a look around (grab a cup of coffee) at what I am building here on Squidoo. I have tried to make unique, useful and updated lenses on active charity events. If you like the lenses then please visit my blog Behind the Button and of course my website Buttons of Hope -- where you too can go on make a custom photo button to wear in YOUR charity event 

The title of the full quote above is THINK DIFFERENT. Regan was right I am out to Change the World by helping people to not only think different but to be different -- it will change you and together we will be the change we wish to see...I hope one button at a time!
