Blog post edited:Â The spokesperson and fundraiser committee for Talia’s Legacy has opted to do the Cancer Drive with me in September/October 2015. Â This year’s Childhood Cancer Fundraiser will be donated to Rady’s.
***
This month I commit to bringing awareness to Childhood Cancer through my social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram.  I will be sharing with you stories of those currently fighting and those that have received their angel wings.
By myself, I can get the word out and help spread a tiny bit of awareness but I have an even better idea: What if I open it up to others who want to help too?
Here are 2Â ways you can help:
#1.  Social media.  I need you to let everyone know that 100% of my commissions when shopping for Origami Owl Jewelry will be donated to Talia’s Legacy and Rady’s Children’s Hospital. Yes, 100% of my commissions – I make zero – nada – no money off of this. All will all be donated.  The sky is the limit to what this $ would be!
#2 Make a purchase.  Proceeds from your Origami Owl jewelry purchase will be going back to help Rady’s Children Hospital (Cancer division) here in San Diego. How does it work?  The link below will track your Origami Owl orders.  Every piece you buy is either 30% or 50% (my commissions) that will be donated to Rady’s. 50% items are birthstones, charms, hand-stamped plates and dangles.  All else is 30%.   You can order anything, including the Childhood Awareness Ribbon.  All of my sales commissions earned from your orders will be sent to the foundations in early October.
Rady’s Children’s Hospital (Cancer & Blood Disorder) who provide care, research, and support to children and their families currently living with childhood cancer. http://www.locketsandcharms.origamiowl.com/parties/RadyChildrens448008/collections.ashx
*** Make sure at the payment checkout screen that Jewelry Bar IDs ‘RadyChildrens448008‘ is pre filled as the Jewelry Bar ID to count.  Those who do not use the direct link can type in RadyChildrens448008 for Jewelry Bar ID at check out.
Don’t care for Origami Owl Jewelry?  Financially contribute directly to Rady’s without an Origami Owl Jewely purchase. Simply do so at http://www.rchsd.org/programs-services/cancer-blood-disorders/ (donate link on the bottom.  Get to know Rady’s and see what drives them, what they are doing for the families affected by childhood cancer and what they will be doing for Childhood Cancer year-round.

Let’s all be a force for Good. Whether you make a purchase or not, I would love your help in spreading the word on this online drive for Rady’s during September – Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Please do share this blog post with friends and family touched by childhood cancer or just want to be a part of something greater and put a dent and potentially see an end to childhood cancers in our lifetime.
People talk about the power of social media and the downsides of social media. Â I hope that this month, we can also highlight the good in social media.
Please repost this blog post on your social media accounts (Facebbok, Twitter, Instagram, etc) to help spread the word. Â Thank you!
