How it Works…

Shining Stars was created to help families from all over the world attend our
annual convention!  Families who want to attend the 3rd Annual Microcephaly
Convention ask friends, family members, co-workers, local corporations, etc.for
donations.  They can also hold fundraisers (car washes, bake sales, cocktail
parties, and yard sales)!  50% of the funds that you raise will be applied toward
you and your immediate family’s registration fees and accommodations (airfare
not included).  The other 50% goes towards helping other families be able to
attend, flying all the top physicians in and other convention expenses.

You will keep track of your donations on a donation log, which will be provided
to you.  Send in donations as often as you’d like.  Please make checks or money
orders payable to FCM or Foundation for Children with Microcephaly.  Please do
not send cash in the mail!  We also accept credit card donations; inform your
sponsor to visit www.childrenwithmicro.org/donations.html.  Remind your
sponsor to name your child (when making a credit card contribution) in the
comments box.
