December 2015

Here at C2Y we have a mission to help moms, dads, grandparents, and caregivers carry the little ones in their lives. We firmly believe in the proven benefits of babywearing. Not everyone is able to afford to buy a safe carrier of their own, so that is where we at C2Y try to help those who need carriers the most, by loaning them a safe carrier to use for a year. Not everyone who applies for a carrier through us is able to receive a loaned carrier, however we have helped many and will continue to help as many as we can. We are able to buy the carriers we loan out through fundraising and donations. Our verifying team works to make sure that those who apply have a true need for a loaned carrier and would not be able to get one on their own. This December (2015) we were able to send out 11 loaned carriers to families with various needs. Because of the love and support from our members and donors alike, these families lives will be changed. Parents with physical disabilities will now be able to safely carry their child, children with special needs will be able to be safe and secure with their loved ones, and families who have no other way of comfortably holding their child for long periods of time are now able to. Our hope is that in 2016 we are able to help many more families. As long as there is a need we hope to be able to fill it. We couldn't help as many people as we do without our supporters, so to each and every one of you thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

C2Y Funding- Member Referral

We LOVE our members and thought what better way to spread the word about C2Y than by having our already amazing members refer their friends and family! But of course in true C2Y style, there will be some perks! For each new member added to C2Y Funding from now until 11 am EST. Saturday, Dec. 12 that purchases a spot in one of our fundraisers, BOTH you and your referral will be entered into a giveaway. Here’s how it works: 1) Refer your family/friends, have them comment on the referral thread in the C2Y Funding group that you referred them (without this you will not receive credit for the referral). 2) Your family/friend buys at least one spot in one of our fundraisers. This purchase automatically enters BOTH you and your family/friend into a surprise giveaway. **You will receive one spot per referral max. **
