Are you planning on having a party?
Are you planning to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, bar mitzvah, Christening, or even a house warming or Christmas party?
Why not make it a touch more special by asking your friends and family to help celebrate the occasion with a donation to CCA!
CCA can provide you with a donation envelope to accompany your invitations or you can simply collect donations on the day.
Guests can send their donations directly to CCA, or you can keep track of donations made on the day. Forward that to CCA along with the monies collected, and we will then issue receipts where requested.
You will receive a special thank you letter with the overall amount you have raised as well as a list of the individuals donations.
Birthday bonus
Turning 40 is considered a milestone moment, but the event held even more significance for husband and wife team Kerri and Gideon Gunn.
The Melbourne couple decided to celebrate their birthdays with a party at their Malvern East home in April. In leiu of presents, guests were asked to donate to one of three charities, including CCA.
Kerri said the couple was eager to support CCA, as Gideon has Crohn's disease and underwent a major operation 18 months ago.
``Particularly since the surgery, we both felt the search for a cure was important,'' Kerri said.
``We thought rather than getting stuff we don't need, we would do this instead.''
The couple donated $1159 to CCA.
``We just wanted our friends to have a good time and this is a nice way to give something back,'' she said. ``It was a really fun night and we were very happy with how it all went.''
Remind your guests that all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Please allow 4 - 6 weeks for administrative processing and issuing of receipts.
