Ready, Set, Go...
We are extremely excited to unofficially announce to you, The BumbleBee Fund.
Our first fund raising goal will be to acquire enough funds to apply for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. The IRS and the State of South Carolina both require fees in order to apply for "official" nonprofit status. These fees total close to $500. Remember, we are still on a pretty tight family budget, so we will have to raise the funds in order to get The BumbleBee Fund started.
The BumbleBee Fund's first fundraiser goal is to reach $500. We can not do this with out the support of our family and friends (yes, we are asking for help again, this time for other families like us). We truly appreciate any way you can help, even $1 can and will make a difference, or forwarding this to your friends and family to spread the word.
IMPORTANT NOTE: all donations made to The BumbleBee Fund will NOT be tax deductible until we receive tax exempt / nonprofit status.
Please click the Chipin link to the right and follow the directions. You can also contact us at info@bumblebeefund.com for directions on other ways to contribute to The BumbleBee Fund.
Thank you in advance for your support!
