Chuck E. Cheese’s is ramping up for National Volunteer Month (April) with a nationwide fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters. I can remember my dad being a big brother to a little boy when I was growing up and thought it was awesome. So this is already on my calendar of events to attend!
Every single Chuck E. Cheese’s across the country will donate 15% of sales from 3-9PM on 3/31 to BBBS when guests mention the organization. They are also doing a donation drive throughout April, where families can donate $1, $5 or any amount of their choice to help BBBS match “Littles” with “Big” mentors. To top it off when kids donate, they get to write their name on a Pin-Up ticket (picture above) and stick it on the wall to show their support
This event gives us parents the perfect opportunity to talk to our kids about giving back in a way that isn’t too jarring or confusing. It’s easy to talk about how BBBS matches kids (who might be having a hard time) with really nice, smart grown-ups to help them make good choices.
So make sure you mark your calendars for March 31st and visit your local Chuck E. Cheese’s between 3-9PM and show your support!

DeleteWe volunteer as a family at a local organization that helps foster kids and families!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was taught at a young age to reach out to those that need help. She was the top fundraiser for a kids cancer research walk, she has done a lot of fundraiser walks, she is 10 and in 5th grade and volunteers her recess 3-4 days a week to go down and play with the special needs kids and has done so since she was in third grade.
ReplyDeleteWe try to show our kids what it means to give back by actually doing it. If we model for them and let them experience the joy that it brings, we hope to encourage them to do it more often and on their own.

ReplyDeleteI don't know if this counts as giving back, but we go through their toys and choose ones they don't play with any more, and donate them to the Salvation Army. I do know that my niece, who is 15 has been donating her cut hair, every time she gets it cut, to a program to make wigs for cancer patients. She's been doing this for several years, shortly after her grandma died from cancer. It was her idea, and I was very proud of her for thinking of that :)

ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I each year go to "Clean the world." It's an organization that takes used and new soap and bath products and sanitizes them and together we put together packages of those products to go to homeless and people who go through catastrophes. We also include a sweet note in there for them. It's a great charity and it's awesome to do it here in Las Vegas, where the hotels contribute all their used and new bath products too! We both love it, and feel great giving back.
ReplyDeleteBe kind to all, donate your time when you can, money if you're able and clothes you no longer need.
ReplyDeleteTeaching then the importance of caring for others being kind and respectful. The value of helping with time to volunteer and give a smile, donating they love to pick some toys and go with me to donation centers writing a little note to say hope you like and have fun with their own handwriting is a little note of love for a child to be happy. We also love to go to our local parks and beaches and they help me to clean to keep our environment clean and beautiful. One of the other things i have been able to teach them is to save in a piggy bank and give that donation to a charity once we reach our goal we set for a period of time that would be in their heart so when they are big they know that caring, sharing and loving has so many ways and that you will feel blessed and happy. Thank you so much for the lovely chance :)

ReplyDeleteWe volunteer at least once a week. I like to have other children with us so it is a fun group activity and they do not feel that is a Chore they have to do.
