At this very second, thousands of people are checking out projects on Kickstarter. They’re rallying around their friends’ ideas, backing projects from people they’ve long admired, and discovering things that make them laugh and smile.

Every project is independently crafted, put to all-or-nothing funding,
and supported by friends, fans, and the public in return for rewards.

All-or-nothing funding.

Every project creator sets their project’s funding goal and deadline. If the project succeeds in reaching its funding goal all backers’ credit cards are charged when time expires. If the project falls short no one is charged.

Since our launch in April 2009, more than 30,000 creative projects
have been successfully funded by awesome people from around the world.

But Kickstarter is about much more than money…

Every Mother Counts, founded by Christy Turlington Burns, is a Million Moms Challenge partner working to mobilize a passionate community dedicated to saving mothers’ lives. They create new and diverse ways to educate more people about maternal health and give you creative ways to get involved.

There are so many things you can do: make a donation in honor of a birthday or a shower, run a 5k or a marathon to raise money for moms around the world, or buy the specially commissioned CD at Starbucks, a gorgeous scarf or even a nursery that will benefit maternal health programs!

Each month Every Mother Counts brings a new action to its followers. June’s theme was “every partner counts” in which the Million Moms Challenge was honored to be included! The July and August theme is “The Summer of Sisterhood” with a list of easy ways you can support maternal health including:

• A summer book list
• A lemonade stand kit to do with your kids to benefit maternal health
• Some ideas for how you can donate desperately needed supplies to help moms in need around the world
• An invitation to share your kids’ letters from camp, and
• Some great new ideas to try this summer

Resources raised through Every Mother Counts’ activities will be directed to programs around the world that are helping women access the care they need. Updates will be posted on their “Our Progress” page, reporting on efforts to: provide safe, clean places for women to deliver their babies; ensure trained professionals are available to help women give birth; help women travel to access the care they need; and provide health education and voluntary family planning resources.

Like all of us in the Million Moms Challenge community, Every Mother Counts believes that everyone has the capacity to make a difference. Learn more by visiting their site everymothercounts.org, joining their mailing list or liking their Facebook page.

Help us improve health for mothers and around the world.

Ten years ago, two very creative and charitable best friends, Sheryl Steiner and Esti Cohen, brainstormed how they could create a special memorial event honouring their beloved mothers who passed away just 2 weeks apart from each other.

So the idea began as a small cozy gathering of 30 women from the Toronto community in Steiner’s backyard, and morphed into a very special annual memorial event bringing together hundreds of ladies each year.

Each annual event has a well coordinated and creative theme, blending decor, colour, edible delights, floral arrangements, and centrepieces with important speakers educating seated guests benefitting a charity and worthy cause.

Funds raised are always earmarked toward a different deserving charity they carefully choose together, each year.

Over the past few years, all of the Steiner and Janowski sisters, Gittie, Shiffi, Tami, and Dena came on board to personally put their hearts and energy into organizing the event which is so meaningful to all the family members.

This year, 300 women gathered for an emotional, educational and social evening entitled “Repairing Rainbows” at B’nai Brith in Toronto.

This year, Cohen and Steiner followed their dream and raised enough funds to send a couple of medically fragile children to summer camp, who would not otherwise have the opportunity.

Their charity of choice was Chai Lifeline, which will arrange for the deserving children to attend Camp Simcha this summer.

Guests first listened to the story of Lynda Fishman, author of Repairing Rainbows, as she recounted her traumatic personal story of the loss of her own mother and 2 sisters in a tragic plane crash, when she was just 13 years old. Fishman understands firsthand the importance of Chai Lifeline. Fishman was able to ultimately achieve financial and personal success in her own life. Fishman married her soulmate, Barry Fishman, another survivor of tragedy, who rose to CEO of Teva Pharmaceutical. Mrs. Fishman was a natural match for the event as she and her husband also give back through their involvement in Chai Lifeline.

Eighteen year old Eden Filonov, also recounted her personal success story. At 15, she lost her important teen years when she was hospitalized for complete loss of her eyesight when her kidneys failed. She endured painful and lengthy medical treatments but, thankfully, her eyesight was restored and she made a full recovery.  Chai Lifeline supported her and her mother financially and emotionally, throughout her long journey.

Guests left the first part of the event with a better appreciation of the charity which inspired conversations of hope and support as they socialized in the adjoining room, and marvelled at the beautifully uplifting rainbow coloured tables featuring a full dessert reception.

Looking back over the past ten years, these two best friends can only marvel at how this event has evolved, how much they have enjoyed planning together with family members, all while keeping their mothers’ memory alive in the name of charity.
