Now I Can Benefit Concert

Thank you for your support of Now I Can!  Thanks to our generous donors, Now I Can is giving free and discounted therapy to children through our Ability Fund.  Our benefit concert with Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband was a great success, raising over $8000 to help families pay for therapy.  We give a big thanks to our major donors--Check City, Synergy and Five Star Legacy Foundation.  And thank you to each of the concert-goers who gave so freely that night. 

Upcoming Events

Plan now for Now I Can’s “Run to Walk” 5K and one-mile fun run on Saturday, May 1, 2010!  You can register now at www.runnercard.com.

Now I Can is scheduling for 2010 sessions!  Summer will fill up especially quickly, so try to make your plans as soon as possible.

This holiday season, please remember that some kids aren’t asking for a bike… they’d just love to learn to walk.  Please give that gift through a donation to Now I Can’s Ability Fund at www.nowican.org.  Every bit makes a difference. Thank you!

Media Review

Have you ever felt frustrated when taking your child to a supposedly safe “kid movie” only to find their little ears or eyes taking in things you wish they weren’t?  We’ve come across a valuable resource to parents and grandparents at www.kids-in-mind.com  --a site dedicated to reviewing movie content and giving ratings based on sex/nudity, violence and gore, and profanity.  These three areas are evaluated and given a numerical ranking from one to ten (a movie might have a 1.3.0 ranking, for example). Whether you have little ones, teenagers, or are just a discerning movie-goer, you’ll appreciate this site!

Protecting Our Kids--and Therapy Fundraising

As you know, identity theft is growing and our children are often the most susceptible prey for these criminals.  Now I Can is offering an identity protection card through the country’s most reputable protection agency and KokiCard.  This monthly scan will check each family member’s social to make sure no fraudulent activity has occurred.  $100,000 protection is provided if any theft occurs.  The great part about this card is that it also has a discount piece—at over 100,000 businesses nationwide!  The card is only $20 and the identity protection service is an additional $9.95 a month if you choose to participate.  Now I Can is hoping many of you will want to offer these cards to you family and friends as a fundraising opportunity—KokiCard will give back $10 for each card you sell to Now I Can for your child’s individual therapy fund!  It’s a slam dunk—who wouldn’t want a $20 discount card they can use anywhere they travel (as well as with hometown favorites), and have the opportunity to protect their family from identity theft?  This opportunity also gives a chance for friends and family in other states to help support your child raise funds for therapy.  If you are interested in this great opportunity, call Tracey at 801.376.4588.

Flu Protection

A crucial and not often considered tip for flu protection is to ensure that the living areas in your home have ventilation.  Crack a window even in the winter!  Outside air is important to keeping your inside air clean and your family healthy! 

You may also want to take advantage of some vitamins or echinacea to boost immunity.  Contact Joe at joe@nowican.org to get our special Now I Can pricing on Dr. Christopher’s herbs.  See www.drchristophers.com to see products (Now I Can’s pricing is 25% lower).
