Shopping for the Cause- Children's Aid Society's Miracle on Madison

Every now and then, an announcement for a great cause happens to find its way into my inbox. That was the case today, with an email I received about a shopping event called 'Miracle on Madison', sponsored by the Children's Aid Society.


This holiday season, we all want to treat ourselves to something special -- maybe some new jewelry, a chic pair of shoes or that "must-have" toy for the kids...

But what if your wishes could make a REAL difference, not just in your own home, but in the lives of children who need a lot more than just a new toy?  If you had that kind of magic at your fingertips... what would YOU wish for?

Well, now you do.

Join us for the Miracle on Madison, a shopping extravaganza, on December 6, 2009 from 12-5 pm to fulfill your wish list and ours.  The Children’s Aid Society will receive 20% of the day's proceeds from all participating stores, and that money will provide vital health services to the under-served children in NYC!

Plus, before December 6, visit our blog on the Miracle on Madison page and let us know what your REAL holiday wish list would look like (http://blogs.childrensaidsociety.org/childrensaid/miracle-madison/),

Because we all love new shoes, sweaters, games and toys -- but some wishes on our list can't fit in a gift box.

This holiday season, help your gifts go just a little farther. Save the Date and Save a Child.

I do hope my fellow New Yorkers will try to make it out there, and shop for a great cause. :)
