Right To Play, Charity of the Day

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Charity of the Day


All children should have the right to play but for some on the world's most disadvantaged communities, the simple joy of sport and play is not always available. The Right to Play program uses the medium of sports and activities for a variety of purposes including teaching HIV prevention, helping rehabilitate children affected by war, encouraging the healthy, phsycial, social and emotional deveopment of refugees and simply bringing laughter and play to children in need. The program accepts donations and trains volunteers as coaches but one simple way you can help is by buying a mini red ball which is available at Adidas stores.

Luxury baby line Aristabrat, is famous for their over the top designs and insane use of bling. A huge celebrity following and tons of press make Aristabrat one of the most in demand lines for haute tots. While looking for shower presents I came across this adorable three piece gift set. A onesie embellished with Swarovski crystals and stylish graphics, and a rattle and pacifier made of sterling silver and covered with crystals. The set retails for $299. Pricey, but worth it, yours will definitely be the coolest shower gift!

Filed under: Charity, Charity of the Day


It seems lately that this country is having a lot of issues in a lot of different areas, but one of the biggest is health care. Millions of children in this country are without health insurance and live in families that cannot afford to pay for their basic medical needs. The Children's Health Fund works to provide guaranteed health access for all children nationwide, along with contributing healthcare support services during emergencies (9-11, Hurricane Katrina). The Children's Health Fund was founded back in 1987 by pediatrician Irwin Redlener, MD and singer/songwriter Paul Simon.

Mutsy Strollers

by Star Sutherland (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Children


My mission to find the perfect stroller is well underway, and my recent obsession is the Mutsy stroller company. The price tag that reads $215 seemed to good to be true...and sure enough....You have to buy the base separate! The bassinet part, costs $215 and comes with a comfy pad for baby, and features the shelled protective encasing that promises to protect your lil guy, this thing looks like it could stop a bullet. The base part is an additional $544 (ouch!) and offers the smoothest ride possible, all terrain wheels and a unique swivel feature. Very cool stroller but for around $700 total it's a little out of my range. Next!

Keep a Child Alive, Charity of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Charity of the Day


AIDS is officially 25 years old and sadly in many ways it's as strong and as deadly as ever. In certain parts of South Africa as much as 41% of the population is afflicted with AIDS, and worldwide 90% of the people who have it don't know it. Ignorance is one of the biggest hurdles in treating and controlling the spread of AIDS, and Keep a Child Alive is an organization focused on helping with both education, treatment, and prevention of this devastating disease -- not to mention support of the children left in its wake.

To date over 15 million children have lost one or both parents to the AIDS pandemic, and for just $1 a day you can buy the drugs needed to keep a child alive.

Disney Bans Kids From Posh Restaurant

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

Walt Disney World might be the most popular spot to bring kids on vacation, but starting this week there is one place in the resort that will not be open to children. The Victoria & Albert's restaurant in the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the theme park's only restaurant with an AAA five-diamond rating, is banning children under 10. The decision came after surveys showed that diners were looking for a more adult restaurant experience. Of course, Disney has 97 other full-service restaurants to choose from, but this is the one with the highest prices and the most elegant atmosphere. Prices start at $125 a person.

Markmakers, Charity of the Day

Filed under: Charity of the Day


It is never too soon to involve children in social activism and charitable giving so this holiday season give them a gift card from Markmakers. This unique organization encourages kids to choose one of six areas for giving: poverty, disease, kids in need, animal welfare, the environment, peace and justice. So how can you get the children in your life involved in philanthropy? Purchase a minimum $10 gift card (tax-deductible of course) on Markmakers.org, print or email the personalized gift, give it to the kids in your life and watch them make a difference. It is truly remarkable ... and beats a present that will lose its luster in a few weeks time.
