FREE ways to help kids with AIDS
Hi, everyone,
There are two ways you can help raise funds for children with AIDS, at NO cost to you, and taking only 30 seconds of your time. The first is to click here and do a search for American Foundation for Children with AIDS. Then, vote. That is all you have to do. Well, then, please tell EVERYONE you know about this and ask them to vote. We have a chance at winning $25k for our kids…please help us. You only vote once during the first round of this competition, so it is really simple. This round ends on December 11th. Tell EVERYONE you know, especially your friends on Facebook. You can scroll to the bottom of the page and post the challenge information directly on your FB wall. Easy!
The other way for you to help is to vote every day (or as many times as you can) from now until February 28th at Good Earth. There, we are competing for $10,000. And, again, no money out from you and no need to receive spam mail from the donor. Good, huh?
Help us win, friends!

A Huge Success in Charlotte!
Two weekends ago, AFCA hosted Climb Up in Charlotte. 250 people attended and $6000 was raised for the kids!
The Neighborhood Theatre hosted a relaxing evening with 2 wineries and 15 restaurants who provided tastings, while Saturday was an exciting day of yoga classes, massages, climbing, and good food at Inner Peaks. The auction on Friday night gave away a signed BB King guitar, Osprey backpacks, Parrot Cay three day stay for two, African place settings, a hand knitted doll, Bronwen jewelry, a drawing by Charles Shultz, Aretha franklin album cover, and much more.
We want to take some time to thank all the people involved:

Changing the Present
AFCA is now part of this amazing website called Changing the Present. Instead of giving your family generic gifts like bath soaps or funny socks, you can give a gift that saves lives. It could be 3 meals a day for a hungry child, medication, clean water, etc. AFCA has a ton of gifts to help children in Africa. $1 can buy a day's worth of meals for a child and $30 can pay for a whole month of medicine! This is a great idea if your stuck on what to get your friends and family this holiday season. It's made me rethink the scented candle for Grandma and the (inevitably) ugly tie for Dad. I can change lives through Christmas presents...who knew?
