GIVEAWAY: VOTE Daily for Roxy and Lisa - Mamavation Mom

Hey everyone! Lisa here!

As you know by now, Roxy and I are finalists for Mamavation.com Campaign #5!

What is Mamavation?
Mamavation is a social experiment and weight loss campaign in social media with the goals of teaching moms healthy living lifestyle choices so they can share with their family. Mamavationis a two part campaign: (1) a virtual healthy living boot camp for two moms and (2) the home of the first virtual healthy living sorority in social media, the Sistahood.

Why do we want to win?
There are a couple of reasons we'd like to become the next Mamavation Moms. The first is because we want to get fit for our families. We know that getting healthy starts with the mom, and we're dedicated to changing our lives so that our families will not grow up to be obese! Another reason, is because we'd win a PERSONALized Weight loss and Fitness Bootcamp especially for us!! It doesn't hurt that there is a lot of swag involved! Here are the tools we'd win to help us during our Bootcamp!

Mamavation is sponsored by Earth Footwear Smooth Fitness and EA SPORTS Active. The Mamavation Moms will automatically receive the following for participation:
1. Two pairs of Earth Footwear--amazing heel technology allowing you to burn more calories with every step
2. An EA SPORTS Active
3. An EA SPORTS Active More Workouts after Nov. 17th
4. Treadmill 6.5 from Smooth Fitness
5. Sexy in 6, book by Tracey Mallett
6. Growing Up Healthy The Next Generation Way, Dr. Renna's book & workout DVD for children
7. Total Body Fat Burner, DVD by Tracey Mallett
8. Total Body Calorie Blast, DVD by Tracey Mallett
9. Gaiam, Tae Bo Amped , Tae Bo T3 series
10. A Gruve, personalized, scientifically proven gadget that enables healthy, sustainable weight loss

Why should you vote for us?
I haven't really done this much in my stint with The Cloth Diaper Foundation, and that is ask to give back, personally (and I feel really strange about writing this part!). We ask all the time for support, donations, money, posts, etc., but Roxy and I have worked really hard, along with the other volunteers of CDF to make sure that we help as many people as possible. We've donated a lot of blood, sweat, and time to help families get into cloth diapers. We never really asked for anything personally - until now. We'd love for you to take this opportunity to give us the must needed boost that we deserve!


How do you vote?
You can vote for each of us, once per day, per computer. The kicker is, you have to click both of our screen names on the ballot and then submit your vote! Just clicking on one name will only submit a vote for one of us, and you'll not be able to vote from that computer again til the following day! Go to www.Mamavation.com, click @ljenator and @chobysauce and submit your vote!

What will you win?
We will be giving away THREE mystery boxes! Yes, you read that correctly, there will be THREE WINNERS!! Once we've chosen the winners via Random.org, we will ask for size and gender! Remember, this will be a Large Flat Rate Box full of awesome new and used cloth diapers!!

The Cloth Diaper Foundation Fundraising Committee is in process of planning The Green Mama Benefit Auction, a fundraiser on Hyena Cart, set to begin on April 22nd—Earth Day.

The Cloth Diaper Foundation, formally Miracle Diapers, gives needy families cloth diapers and assists them with building their own cloth diaper stashes. They helped over 450 babies last year alone!

The auction will celebrate moms and Earth Day and we are looking for both mom and baby products. Would you be willing to donate an item, help a good cause and spread the word about your products and business?

We will be advertising through all of our social networking channels, on our website, through many natural family networks and will also be pairing donated products with a blogger who will write a feature about that item and your business.

Let me know if you have any questions, are interested in donating an item or helping The Cloth Diaper Foundation Auction in any way!

If you are interested in participating please contact Julie Ekstrom before March 26. Our deadline for completion is April 11 if you are planning on making a one of a kind item.

Thank you for your consideration.

Miracle Diapers Is Now The Cloth Diaper Foundation

Miracle Diapers Is Now The Cloth Diaper Foundatin


empowering families, improving the environment


As Miracle Diapers has grown so has the number of families they assist. In 2009, they helped over 450 babies directly, more than 100 babies through sponsorship and local distribution, and assisted other charities with the same mission as well!


To better serve those families Miracle Diapers reaccessed it's structure and practices. They have:


New leadership with Roxanna Jolly—CEO and Lisa Johnston—Operations Manager and Board

Chair

Relocated their headquarters to Katy, Texas

Restructured how they process and accept applications

Opened a retail store for fundraising

Founded a new membership program

Welcomed several new board members from the cloth diapering industry


In it's fifth year Miracle Diapers wants to continue moving forward and has decided to take on a new name that better describes the organization and it's mission.


Miracle Diapers is now The Cloth Diaper Foundation.


We felt that a more appropriate name would help the community have a better understanding of who we are, as we have often been mistaken for a diaper manufacturer. Our desire to move forward and build a legacy of support for the cloth diapering community will be reflected in our new name: The Cloth Diaper Foundation.

-Roxanna Jolly, CEO, The Cloth Diaper Foundation


To assist in fund raising efforts, in the month of February, Tracy Whittemore and Lisa Adkins from The Cloth Diaper Company have so graciously offered to match, product for product, each Cloth Diaper Company product sold (Drybees, Wahmies, Rocky Mountain Diapers) in The Cloth Diaper Foundation Retail Store with an equal donation to our organization. (Example – Purchase a Rocky Mountain Diapers OS Pocket, CDC will donate our organization a RMD OS Pocket, Drybees for Drybees, etc.)


Monetary donations fell last year do to the economy. Which means there are more families out there for The Cloth Diaper Foundation to help! While diaper donations are always appreciated, we must be able to financially support organizational growth. Let's make this happen together and spread the CD love. Visit http://clothdiaperfoundation.org today to find out how you can help!
