Elizabeth McWilliams' 5th/6th Grade Class gives a big Thank you, to everyone who helped the Refugee Mothers of Kosovo in this fundraiser. All of your generosity resulted in over $6,700 going to the Red Cross. While this particular fundraiser is over, the needs of the Kosovar refugees continue and donations can be sent directly to the Red Cross relief effort for the Kosovar refugees.
We particularly want to thank The Anchorage Hilton for donating postage and Touch N' Go Systems for donating the cards and webhosting so that all of the money that was raised went to the Red Cross.

Mother's Day Donation for the Refugee Mothers of Kosovo
|
In an effort to do something to help the mothers and children who have been driven from
their homes in Kosovo, the students of Elizabeth
McWilliams' 5th/6th Grade Class, in Anchorage, Alaska, have come up with a plan to
generate donations to the Red Cross
relief effort for the Kosovar refugees. For a (minimum, $5.00) donation, the
students will send a Mother's Day greeting to your Mother or Grandmother, inscribed with
their name, saying:
"A contribution to the Red Cross has been made in your honor,
to benefit the Refugee Mothers of Kosovo.
Happy Mother's Day! With love from (your name)."
To order a card for your Mother, Grandmother, or anyone else you'd like to honor on Mother's Day, click here, print out the order form, and mail it to Chugach Optional Elementary School with your donation.
