Wasaga
Beach, ON: Multiple Births Canada
(MBC) is pleased to provide ongoing updates to its members, chapters and
colleagues. Your commitment to
Supporting Multiple Births
Together is of great importance to Canada’s multiple-birth
community.
Chapter
Representatives: Please forward the information below to
your Chapter Executive asap.
Please
be aware, this
IC requires your immediate attention.
In early March the Board of Directors presented the idea of ordering silicone
bracelets as an awareness and fundraising opportunity for Canada’s
multiple-birth community. If this is your first time hearing about this
initiative, details are listed below.
The goal was and is to get a combined order commitment of at
least 1,000 bracelets by March 31,
2006.
Currently we
have orders for 300 bracelets.
Since the deadline cannot be extended due to delivery timelines, it is
hoped that more chapters will confirm their commitment to this awareness and
fundraising project this week.
BRACELET
DETAILS:
Cost
per bracelet is $2, plus a small shipping and handling fee.
The
debossed words “Supporting Multiple Births Together” will be on the outside of
the burgundy bracelet. The inside
of the bracelet will promote the Canadian access to multiple-birth resources “www.multiplebirthscanada.org”,
which includes referrals to your chapter.
Here’s
a sample -- http://www.siliconeband.ca/
Chapters
who have already placed orders plan to use the bracelets in a few different
ways, including:
The
silicone bracelet is being used by many Canadian organizations to unite and
promote their cause. Men, women and
youngsters of all ages are wearing these popular wristbands as a way to identify
and connect with others. It’s a fun
and easy way to get to know people in the multiple-birth community when you’re
visiting other cities.
If
your chapter is interested, please send an email with your order to office@multiplebirthscanada.org
ASAP.
