Fundraiser for Latvian Orphanage
A fellow blogger is working to raise $100,000 for a Christian orphanage in Latvia. John, the father of two children adopted from Russia, is the captain of Team Moose Tracks, a bicycling team that's riding in the Holland Hundred Bicycle Tour in Michigan on July 16.
The team, who has already raised $33,000, is riding to support The Sparrow's Nest, a nonprofit organization committed to meeting the needs of orphaned, abandoned and neglected children in the former Soviet Union. The team is raising funds through pledges and through corporate/church sponsorships/donations.
On May 9, they'll match any pledges made at their web site and John says that his blog will explain how donors can get some cool Moose Tracks ice cream items in exchange for contributions. Sounds like a delicious deal that supports a good cause. To learn more, visit John's blog at www.teammoosetracks.com.



Thanks for the post, Laura. I sure do appreciate your blog and hope that your readers will visit ours. We want to have as many people involved as possible in helping the orphanage.
John
