Cerebral Palsy League's Posterous

The Cerebral Palsy League Cranford, NJ  //  The Cerebral Palsy League offers much more than defined programs and services. We offer participants and their families the chance to dream. Our goal is to educate and empower persons with developmental disabilities to attain their highest level of functional independence. In the process, We never lose sight that life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. Although we are called The Cerebral Palsy League, our programs are designed for all persons living with different types of neurological and/or physical disabilities.

A small idea reaps great rewards.

The founder of Charity:Water thought he had a crazy idea.  He asked his friends to give up their birthdays and ask for donations instead of gifts.  Every year, the idea spread and more and more people gave up their birthdays!  He's now helped over one million people get clean water.  Google Charity:Water for the full story.

Do you have a birthday you would like to give up for the Cerebral Palsy League?  Let your friends know that you would prefer a donation to the CPL instead of a gift.  Ask your friends to give up their birthdays too!  How about anniversaries, other special occasions? Put it on your Facebook Page!

My mom's birthday is August 31.  I know what I'm giving her.  She is 86 years old and she lives in Florida.  I'm giving her the opportunity to help the Cerebral Palsy League's Adult Services Program.

I guess she'll find out what she's giving this year for her birthday when she reads this blog!
