***It only costs $240 to change one child's life - one operation - once child - one new Smile! My dream to raise enough money to give FIVE children a smile - that means a goal of $1200**

How the fundraiser will work:

You can take part in any of these additional fundraisers. This is completely optional but the more the merrier though!

Individual Projects to giveaway:

Each of you can elect to host a giveaway on your site, with the option to donate to Operation Smile.

It can be a copy of Ruth's book (that you purchase and giveaway).
It can also be something related to the share a smile project.
It can even be a collection of your own smiles taken :)

Start the giveaways on March 17th. I would like to do at least one per day [depends on how many of you opt to do this].

Ruth will donate one signed book to be given to the person who collects the Most Smileys
Ruth will donate one signed book to be given to the person who raises the Most Money for Operation Smile (through your smile-a-thon sponsor sheets).

Promotion:

If you are participating, I would like to ask you to promote the Share A Smile project when we go live on March 17th or even leading up to that date until the end of March.
All blogs that are participating will be listed on our March 17th post.
Promote Operation Smile, Spontaneous Smiley, and our Share a Smile project in any way you can - do you blog about your kids? Create a kid friendly smile project and share about Project Share a Smile. Do you blog about cooking? Why not put together a smile theme recipe and share about Project Share a Smile? Do you blog about your paper crafting? I do too! I'm planning on doing some smile themed cards and posting some of my layouts about the smiles my kids share each day and then promote the Share A Smile Project.
All giveaways will be cross-linked/promoted with a linky party.

Please let me know which levels of participation you will take part in:

Collecting and uploading Spontaneous Smileys onto the Spontaneous Smiley website (with "Elizabeth Sent Me" in the who are you section)
Printing off the sponsor sheet here and collecting sponsors for the spontaneous smileys you collect.
Hosting a giveaway of their project with the option to donate to Operation Smile as an entry.
Mentioning the 'big' giveaways of the Ruth's books which I'll host on my blog.
