"We sold over 100 packages the very first week!"

Lee Ann Britain Infant Development Center

KidsKards was the perfect fundraiser for this center for children challenged by developmental disabilities including Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, autism and others.

By creating art for KidsKards, the children were encouraged to develop skills in a playful way. Seeing their work printed on the note cards was inspirational for them, their therapists, and parents. Plus, each KidsKards carried the message of the 30th anniversary of the Britain Center as a community outreach program of Shawnee Mission Medical Center in Johnson County, Kansas.

The staff sold over 100 packages of the Lee Ann Britain Center note cards within the first week, just by displaying them in the foyer of the facility.

"We are excited about the exposure our cards will receive by selling them in a variety of gift shops."

Children’s Museum of Kansas City

Kansas City Chiefs right tackle John Tait joined fourteen second-graders from the Kansas City School District’s New Stanley Elementary School in a KidsKards art project at the Children’s Museum of Kansas City to benefit Museum Programming.

The children, along with Tait, created note cards to be sold at the Kansas Speedway’s gift shop. Using multi-media materials, each child produced artwork using race car themes.

KidsKards and the John Tait Foundation helped create awareness and promote both the Children’s Museum and the Kansas Speedway. A win-win promotion for all!

"KidsKards allowed us to promote the students themselves, while raising funds."

The Fremont Education Foundation focuses on providing experiences for our district students that might be beyond the reach of the normal school budget. We search for ways to assist the staff with innovative teaching methods, preferably ones that will encourage student creativity. KidsKards note cards fit right in to our theme. It allowed us to promote the students themselves, while raising funds for our various projects. The flexibility allowed us to create variety packs of cards from submitted student art, as well as offer the program to any student who wanted their personal art reproduced.

Our district covers grades K-8, so we elected to offer two different variety packs. One featured work from grades K-3, the other grades 4-8. There was a notable difference in the maturity of the work produced by each group, thereby making each assortment attractive to all families. We featured the variety packs on a color-copied order form, and printed a personal order form on the back side for individual student work. Even younger siblings were able to participate! Students created their own birthday cards to send to their friends.

We were so happy with the proofs that we also ordered additional quantities of each variety pack shrink wrapped with a cover card so that we could offer them at school events. Since we did our fundraiser late in the school year, we promoted the cards as ideal end-of-the-year teacher gifts and Mother’s Day presents.

The best part is that you can always order more!

"The students were so excited to see their artwork professionally printed!"

Gainesville Elementary School

For a small school, Gainesville art students are big on ideas! The entire class wanted their individual artwork turned into note cards. KidsKards made that request easy to do with its flexible ordering program.

And because each child’s art was represented, parents bought at least two sets of their student’s packaged KidsKards.

"Our KidsKards fundraiser was easy ... for the kids and the parents!"

Los Altos Pre-School

Lynn is a typical parent: busy with a full-time career, she’s also active in her child’s school. So when she looked for a way to raise funds for the pre-school, she wanted something that would be quick to create and easy to manage.

She found it with KidsKards. Lynn produced over 60 separate designs to be printed. She created a popular fundraiser that was stress-free for her and successful for the school.

Self esteem – it’s an important element of any program whether you’re working with children, teens or adults. The adult artists were so pleased to see their art work displayed on the note cards. The note cards are successfully being sold at various gift shops in the Indianapolis area.
