Now is the time to get your garden started (Flower Power Fundraiser)

Spring has now sprung all around the country meaning it's time to get dirty and start planting your gardens! If you or someone you know is a gardener, we strongly encourage you to please consider purchasing some or even all of your garden plants through our account with Flower Power Fundraising:

The Mamas and the Tata's Flower Power Shopping Page


Through our collaboration with Flower Power Fundraising, 50% of all of the sales made through our team account will be donated to The Mamas and the Tatas' fundraising efforts for the Komen 3 Day for the Cure. What's really great about this fundraising program is that our partner, Flower Power Fundraising, is totally committed to our cause. They are putting out top-quality, best-selling flower bulbs and plants, ship directly to you and they're giving us a 100% satisfaction guarantee. You can't beat that!

To support our team and start shopping for your flowers, simply click on the link above (or the button below) and start shopping. In addition, if you know anyone that you think might be interested in this fundraiser, please feel free to pass on this information. Flowers can be purchased to support our team until Saturday, April 30th.

Fundraising Update

It is the start of new month and it is time for another update on The Mamas and the Tatas' fundraising progress! As of today, our total team fundraising stands at $2,955. While no one has reached their personal minimum just yet, we do have three walkers that have passed the $500 threshold and two of us that have passed $300. So we are well on our way!

We couldn't have gotten this far without the support of all of our friends and family, so thank you so very much! However, we still have a lot of work to do. We have a few things in the works for the months of April, May and June that we will be announcing soon. Definitely keep checking back here regularly for all the details of those fundraisers.

If you would prefer to support us now, we have a few options:

1) You can do some shopping through Amazon using our search box, also over there in the right hand side bar or by clicking the links at the bottom of each post. We get a small percentage of the profits from everything that you buy from Amazon provided that you access the site through our blog. There are no additional costs to you and no discount codes to remember. It's a completely free way to support our team just by shopping!

2) You can always donate directly to any or all of our walkers. You can find links to each of our fundraising pages on the top of the right hand side bar. The walkers are listed alphabetically. Please note that donations to the Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure can be made in installments over a four month period. We also encourage all of our donors to consider applying for a company match from their place of employment if you can in order to double the size of your donation.

Thank you so very, very much for all of your support so far! This is a cause that is very important to all of us at The Mamas and the Tatas and your support means more to us than we can say!
