For the past few months, our colleagues at Beyond Victoriana have been fundraising for the Rising Phoenix fund for Shelterbox. Yesterday, BV’s leader, Ay-leen the Peacemaker, announced Rising Phoenix had met its’ first goal, and was taking the next step:
Disasters don’t stop when a fundraiser ends, and considering the current tornado disasters in the southern and New England areas of the US recently, first-responder organizations like Shelterbox are important to help those in need immediately. Thus, they are also in constant need of support.
So Button Me Up and Beyond Victoriana have decided to raise our fundraising goal to $3000 by the end of Labor Day Weekend.
Click after the jump for more info about how you can help meet our goal.
