Belletaré - Be the Change Project

We are happy to announce that since our "Be the Change Project" launched last year, the children of Green Valley Elementary School are continuing to BE THE CHANGE for others in their community and around the world.  Recently they have raised over $1800 for Haiti Relief and are finding ways to make a difference for others every day!

What is the Belletaré Be-the-Change Project?

An annual charitable event organized by Belletare to inspire volunteering and to support the community.  Our focus for the 2009 project is the 2nd Grade Class at Green Valley Elementary School in Denver, Colorado.  We're collecting supplies and monetary donations to support the wonderful teachers and students who are under-served and always in need of educational tools and classroom basics. 

How Will It Be Accomplished?

We have collected a Wish List from the five 2nd Grade teachers (Ms. Schmillen, Ms. Jayanty, Ms. Hall, Ms. Montero and Ms. Cross).  First, we'll collect supplies and donations through mid-November 2009, and then we'll present the collected items to the 2nd Grade Class in an assembly party Monday, November 9th.


How can I donate? 

  1. Print Wish List (attached in Word format below) to use as an easy shopping or collection reference.  (Gently used books and supplies are also welcomed!) 
  2. Print and complete the Donation Form (attached in Word format below) Make sure to keep a copy of the Dontation Form for your tax records if a tax deduction will be taken.

Is My Donation Tax Deductible? 

You'll need to keep a copy of the Donation Form (below)  for your tax records to show that your items were received by a non-profit organization.

Can I Volunteer For or Contribute to the Student Assembly Party?

Absolutely.  We are seeking a few volunteers who are willing to help the kids celebrate their unique and special gifts/ideas/talents during the party.  We may provide a little entertainment, refreshment and create an art project.  It should be lots of fun.  We'd also welcome contributions for the party itself.  We'll be providing goodie bags  and snacks for all 115 students (60:40 Boy to Girl ratio), and Belletare will provide skincare gifts to the teachers.  Please let us know via email (kim@belletare.com) if you're interested in the party.
