Cheerful Givers was proud to be one of the 3,141 nonprofits participating in Give to the Max Day yesterday. In addition, we were featured on Cities97 in an on-air interview about the event.

We couldn’t have done it without the generous support of our donors. Thank you all for helping us continue putting birthday smiles on the faces of underprivileged children in the year ahead.

Have you donated to our Social Summer Fundraiser? Did you take advantage of the one-click features to spread the word on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace? If so, we thank you.
