Holiday Fundraiser: Supporting the Children of St. Jude 
This year I am very happy to be holding an event that will provide a way to bring deeper meaning to your holiday shopping. While deciding on what gifts to get for your children, friends, family, co-workers, employees and neighbors, consider giving a gift that can have a greater positive impact  - Curly the Bear.

This adorable, cuddly companion is sure to please. He’s an Avon exclusive made of ultra-soft polyester plush with a decorative fabric bow tie and a heart on his paw. 

For every Curly the Bear sold between now and December 21, 2012, $10 will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. (For more on St. Jude see below). Please help spread the word to anyone who might be interested in helping this event. 

To order Curly the Bear please call me or click here. Not only can your purchase make a perfect gift for those on your list, but it can make a big difference to the life of a child.
21" H. 14" H, seated. For all ages. $21.75

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Since opening 50 years ago, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. The hospital has played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood disorders and infectious diseases in children. St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the dawn of life.
