Kindness in Giving Removes Ink

https://www.facebook.com/events/333519800018278/

Prior to about a week and a half or so ago, I had never heard of INK180.

INK180 provides FREE cover-ups to former gang members and victims of human trafficking. Transforming their bar codes and hate symbols into something beautiful...something that reflects the turn around in their own life.

At the current time, INK180 is not a 501(c)3 but is working toward getting established as such. The idea behind the I Support INK180 event is simple. A number of different direct sales professionals, myself included, have pledge to pay 100% of our commissions from the event to support INK180.

March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month












Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system).( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001747/) MS slowly robs its victims of normal functioning and the ability to lead an active life.

I actually have to take off my shoes and borrow hands to count the people that I know who have been affected by MS. When my friend who is currently dealing with MS suggested I do a fundraiser, I didn't even say yes, I just got busy working on what I could.

This is totally a do what you can with what you got undertaking. If I had a thousand dollars to donate, I would. I do have my Do You Bake? business, though. And DYB? allows me to run sales for fundraisers at a rather generous rate as far as direct sales goes. So, the Do You Bake? Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month Virtual Bake Sale was born.

I will donate 30% of all sales made under the event between now and 4/7/2012. The direct link for sale is: http://shop.doyoubake.com/default.aspx?AffiliateID=392&EventID=680

Please take a minute to check out the event, browse the selection, and support the bake sale. I will be posting information about MS to my twitter @JennyBertWolfe and my FB https://www.facebook.com/CleverJennyWolfe, so please feel free to follow the information there and share freely. Nothing would make me happier than writing out a big fat check in the honor and memory of my friends and family at the end of this event.

Truthfully, I'd like to see enough sales to donate $500 per person I know or $2500. Dream big, right?
