One Person Can Make a Change - Show #16
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. That way you'll never miss a word! Thanks for visiting!
If you dislike something at your school, such as the fundraising programs or certain school policies, why not speak up and make a positive change! If you believe in a cause, then your enthusiasm will be contagious to others.
My guest this week did just that and is making a positive impact on her kids’ school. Christine Lane is a personal trainer and mother of two in CA who has created The Student Body Campaign at her school. This campaign will launch next September and is a way to encourage the kids and their families to live a healthier lifestyle but to also encourage schools across the country that their fundraising efforts can be healthy and do not need to depend upon all the high fat, high calorie snacks that are often found in fundraising catalogs.
Christine has lots of tips if you want to start your own healthy fundraiser and ways that her idea can be turned into a learning experience rather than a fundraiser. If you have any ideas for Christine or would be interested in sponsoring part of her event, you can reach her at christine@thestudentbodycampaign.com
Please don’t forget about www.CrittersWhoCare.com If you visit their website, Annette Yen has some really touching stories about how a simple stuffed animal has affected some of these troubled children. This is an on-going cause and there are many, very affordable levels of sponsorship.
What an inspiration! I can’t wait to hear the follow up for this show and see the results. It would be great to see it succeed and use it as leverage to get more schools to follow suit. =)
