CureJM Recycling Fundraiser

Just an update, made a trip to the recycling place today and we received $26.00 for our efforts so far. I could not fit everything in the van, so I will be making another trip in the next week or so. Thank you to everyone who has contributed recycling to our project.

Amanda's Community Service Recycling Project

Amanda started a Community Service Recycling Project to help raise money for CureJM www.curejm.com this is a foundation that raises money for research for finding a cure for Juvenile Myositis. We asked family and friends to collect cans/plastic/glass for recycling and the money received from the recycling center will be donated to CureJM. We are hoping to raise at least $500.00. Amanda's school is also helping by bringing in recycling. We have already seperated 5 30gallaon trash bags of recyclables.

This project is rewarding in that we are raising money to help find a cure for Juvenile Dermatomyositis (Amanda's Disease) and in the same time we are bringing attention to this rare disease.

Next weekend we will make our first run to the recycling center. Stay tuned for $$ raised!
