Quarters for Cubs
In 2007 I created a project called the Grizzlies Cub Fund. It was an easy way to give to families that had a child that was living with a life threatening illness or injury. I coached, monies were donated in lieu of registration fees enabling us to write cheques to local families in need of financial support.
In the 2009 Sole Sisters Clinic I introduced ’Quarters for Cubs’. For those that have participated in ‘Quarters for Cubs’… they now look at a quarter and see something much greater than a value of 25 cents!
‘Quarters for Cubs’ is unique to the Sole Sisters! Each week bring 1 quarter and put it in the Cub Fund box for our chosen cub. Let’s pretend there are 200 of us total. If each participant and leader brings just 1 quarter, we will raise $50 each week…and $650 in the course of 13 weeks! In the past some sisters have brought in quarters for every walk or run they did. It’s a great incentive for each of us to continuing on our individual journeys of pursuing a goal … moving for a child when they are unable to do so ~ is a motivator of immeasurable value.
It’s the little things that can be GREAT!
