You can help bring a smile to the face of a child with a rare medical condition by creating hand-made + personalized birthday cards.
Full instructions are on the volunteer page of our website by clicking on "Uplifting Birthday Card Project" but key points are:
- Cards should include birthday wishes only. These are NOT “get well” cards and should not reference the child’s diagnosis or medical situation.
- After you make your cards, please let us know how much time you spent making them on our form here: Volunteer Hours Form (This helps us with our annual reporting and grant requests.)
We will sign hours verifications hours for volunteers who need it for school or work organizations, but we do not sign for court-mandated hours. There is a limit of 5 hours of credit per month per volunteer for this project. If you need hours verified, please email a photo of your cards along with a PDF of the verification form to aahmann@cc4c.org. For guidance, 6 carefully and thoughtfully created cards= 1 hour of service. We do not sign verifications for court-mandated volunteer hours.
