The Details for the Fundraiser

Thank you for your interest in helping out Gavin. I know this can be a little confusing because the money is for Gavin to have ABM Therapy through BRAINS. The grant is through Miles for Special Smiles who is partnering with Aquinas College for their AQ Run through (5K & 2 MIle walk) to raise money for Kids Food Basket. In other words, anything you do to help, will help Gavin and others.

If you decide to walk or run the AQ Run Through, there is a $20 registration fee. (the sign up form and details can be easily accessed at http://www.milesforspecialsmiles.com/.) This fee goes toward Kids Food Basket and does not support Gavin, but still a good cause. If you decide to walk/ run, any pledges/donations you collect for walking/ running directly support Gavin's $1,700 goal. Checks can be made out to Miles for Special Smiles as long as Gavin's name is listed in the check memo line. Otherwise the money may be inadvertantly posted to their 'General Account'.

We will be collecting all of the checks and cash and turning it into Miles at one time. If someone would like to send checks directly to Miles on Gavin's behalf, that's fine and their address is on their website. Pledges/ donations can also be made with credit card at www.snapregistration.com/110058 Any money raised over the $1,700 will go toward Miles for Special Smiles General Fund to help more families.

Thank you again for your willingness to support Gavin. This therapy has been nothing short of miraculous for Gavin and we're so blessed to have this opportunity to afford another year. It's amazing the sacrifices we'll make for our children. Thank you.

Welcome to Gavin's site

Thank you for your patience while our site is under construction. Gavin is a loveable little boy with special needs, who is unable to walk. He’s had extensive hip surgery and is scheduled for more. The cost of the physical therapy he desperately needs is not covered by insurance. Recently, Gavin was awarded a grant through Miles for Special Smiles to assist with these costs. However, this is a match grant requiring his family to raise $1,700 before September 25th, in order to receive the money. October 3rd, Gavin’s family will be taking part in the 2 mile walk/5K run on the campus of Aquinas College and collecting pledges/donations.

You can help Gavin by:
· Donating directly to Gavin’s fund (Checks can be made out to Miles for Special Smiles, please be sure to include Gavin's name in the check memo.)
· Taking part in the 2 mile walk or 5K run and collecting pledges on Gavin’s behalf.
· Not walk, but collect pledges on Gavin’s behalf

Please feel free to contact us at bradkarat@yahoo.com with any questions.
Pledges can be made on line by credit card at www.snapregistration.com/110058.
