Fundraising Flyers for the 2006 Project:
We have created 3 flyers to help you with your fundraising efforts. Please feel free to download and print as many copies as you feel necessary:

Flyer 1 & 2: This is a small, black & white flyer that you can copy inexpensively to hand-out, put in mailboxes or send in the mail. This is also available in color which will look great on a bulletin board, a classroom/staff room wall, your local library and anywhere public information is displayed. Don't forget to write your contact information where indicated, before making copies.

Flyer 3: A slightly bigger flyer, in color, that you can email to your friends. Don't forget to tell people how to contact you and include your mailing address in your email.
