Mini Fundraisers
Since forming, The CAL Foundation has hosted 8 mini-fundraisers through some incredibly generous, amazing companies. The money raised from these fundraisers goes toward planning our big, ticketed events where we hope to raise enough money to fund a year's worth of supporting families. Throughout the next few months, we have opportunities created and we would love to have you join us! - Thursday, March 28th, 2019: BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse on Brookpark Rd. in North Olmsted. All day, 20% of all food & soft drink purchases will be donated back to CALF! Must show flyer...

But we do feel like we can do something.

Some found us on Facebook, some through word-of-mouth, and some by the {incredible} piece News Channel 5 did on us. We worked with Chipotle in June and hosted a dining event...
Perspective Over Perfection
Balancing life, work schedules, our then-2 year old, and the timing for the new baby’s arrival. Without regard to our perfect plan, *poof* there he was, two pink lines on a pregnancy test.
I had a normal pregnancy. This was something I could control – rules to follow, a timeline, and check list of things to go through. I could control this 40 weeks, it was the after that scared me; when the world can get its hands on your perfect little person and control goes out the window.
