Welcome to the Corazon
de Vida (CDV) Team Fundraising Page!
We are
thrilled that you have found a place in your heart to join our effort
& provide much-needed financial aide for our kids. Funds collected allow CDV to continue
providing food, clean water, and a safe home for over 750 children each month. This webpage will help you create an online donation campaign to fundraise for Corazon de Vida and the 14 orphanages we help support each day.
In 2009, we need your help to feed children and make sure they do not go to bed hungry. Your effort to create an online pledge campaign and collect funds will not only provide nutritious food, but will help CDV get fresh drinking water, pay utility bills, educate children, get sick kids well, repair many housing problems, and countless emergencies. It takes $62.50 per month to sustain a life at an orphanage so if you set your goal amount to at least $750.00, you will have supported one child for one year. Our 2009 fundraising goal of $100,000 will give hope to hundreds of children. Stand by our side in 2009 and lets give the children a chance.
Create your online donation campaign today to support the children of Baja. If you need help with building your page or for some fun photos to upload, please let us know.

Click on the
link at the top of the page that says "Become a Fundraiser"
and you will have the option of creating a new team page or joining an
existing team.
·
If you click
"Create a fundraising team" - this will direct you to a guided
template where you can customize the look of your site and what information
your visitors will see when they click to it. *Be sure to select that you would like to make a team
fundraiser. This will allow
others to join your team/group and fundraise as a team. Donations are tracked
and credited to both the individual and team accounts.

On the
bottom of each team page, it will automatically include some general
information about the Corazon de Vida mission, our non profit status, and
contact information. However, making this page your own will ultimately drive
the success of your campaign.
Your welcome message should briefly explain why your group is raising
money, why the CDV cause is significant to you, etc. You can also include personal
experiences and encourage others to give.
