Dear  Friends of BSA,  

On  April 8th &9th, Blind Service Association is  participating in the 

Children's Benefit  League Tag Days, and need volunteers to assist with our 

fundraising  efforts!  If you have two or more  hours available to donate to BSA 

anytime between 6am and 6pm on the  8th or 9th, we can really use your 

help!   

The  Children's Benefit League is a group of non-profit organizations that 

come  together every spring to raise money for their children's programs.  

For  Blind Service Association this means raising money to help fund our six 

week  summer youth program, Pathways.  Pathways is a unique program  that 

provides daily living skill building, cultural &  educational adventures, and 

social experiences to blind and visually impaired  youth.  This program is 

offered at no cost (except  an application fee) to the children's families, 

so fundraising events like  the Children's Benefit League Tag Days are 

essential to help with the cost of transportation, professional  staff, and 

providing all of the exciting opportunities that Pathways  offers.   

Our  volunteers for Tag Days help us collect money in designated areas of 

Chicago and  suburbs and are provided with all of the supplies, information, 

and permits  needed to tag in these locations.  We have several locations 

that we  will be "tagging" (collecting donations and passing out a Children's  

Benefit League "tag" with our logo on it) and you can ?tag? at whatever 

location  is most convenient for you.  We have  assigned areas downtown 

Chicago and at designated Jewel-Oscos in Skokie,  Niles, Oak Park, Oak Lawn, and 

Chicago.  (If you live in or near Lake Forest, you can tag at the Walgreens 

at E.  Deerpath)  Once you sign up, we can  arrange location and times.  We 

also  encourage volunteers to get other family and friends involved?

remember--the more  the merrier and the more money that we will raise.   

A  volunteer registration form is attached to this email--Please fill out 

the form  and send it back to BSA, or call Karine or Sally at 312-236-0808 

and ask to sign  up for the Tag Days event.   

Thank  you! 

Karine  Rosvold, Program Manager
