Help Us Raise the Rest of the Funds

To say that we are blessed is an understatement.  Since January, we have raised slightly over $7,700.  Our total costs to cover fundraising expenses and the expenses for two Music Therapists is $8,900.  Thank you to all of you who have supported our efforts thus far.  We have had friends rally up and support with their own fundraiser, friends spread the word about our cruise, friends send us support checks, donations of items, and so much prayer support.  Without each of your support we would not be on the home stretch of raising the funds.  We have $1,200 left to fully cover everything!!!

We were trying to think of a creative, fun way to raise the remaining funds.  We decided to do a little giveaway with a twist.  BRIGHT Children International will be traveling approximately 12,000 miles on this trip.  Our giveaway is going to buy the miles we have to travel.
We have calculated that each mile will cost $0.10.  That is a steal!  With the purchase of miles we want to do a giveaway to thank you for your support.  For each 100 miles bought, you will receive an entry into the giveaway.  At the end of the giveaway, all names will be entered and winners will be randomly selected.  Here are the prizes we have up for grabs:
