Fundraising Reports
It is so wonderful the amount of fund-raising going on for Smiles -
somewhere just about every day. This makes such a difference to what
The Smiles Foundation can do in Romania, because to fulfil our dreams
and maintain our projects, we need your help in raising the financial
support to keep it moving.
Mission Trips, especially through
the summer, are great for being able to raise important funds for the
work of Smiles projects throughout the year. Often up to
£50,000 / $100,000 is raised by
Mission Trip visitors and others back home during June, July & August.
That’s 10% of our entire operating budget for the year from summer
Mission trips.
Many people find coming on a Mission trip, a great opportunity to do
special events to raise extra funds for Smiles and we appreciate all
that is done by so many to raise so much to make such a difference.
This summer we’ve got off to a great start.

The Special
Gift Day Offering at the opening celebration service on
Sunday June 8th at Tileagd Community Church totalled
£11,789 / $23,578 which is truly fantastic. We thank God for His
provision and those who so generously gave to launch the work of
the Community Complex. |

fundraising tool, with over 100 full colour photographs and every
Smiles project featured month by month. A super personal calendar
and also a wonderful gift. At £10 / $20

with your support. |

Many others have also been doing
some great fund-raising.
First Baptist Leesburg raised
over $4,000 (£2,000) towards Mission Trip projects. |

Claire
Smyth of Northern Ireland did a Skydive in April and
raised £1,000 ($2,000) for Smiles. |

Hilary and David Kent of Great
Ayton, England raised a £1,000 ($2,000) for Smiles in lieu of
their Wedding Anniversary.
Considerable funds were raised in the
Belfast marathon last month along with further funds
from Fiona Presho who held a
birthday party with an ‘allo-allo’ theme with gifts to Smiles
instead of presents.
Every day we are informed of more fund-raising activities and all
of them, big and small are crucially important for the work of
Smiles to keep growing and impacting lives in Romania. |
