Challenged Athletes Foundation Birthday Fundraiser 2013

CAF FUNDRAISER FOR MY 52ND BIRTHDAY!

Cody McCasland
For my 52nd birthday I am raising money for Challenged Athletes Foundation. Each donation brings a smile to my face. Please donate $10 or more!  This year, they are celebrating their 20th anniversary of helping others get the prosthetics, equipment and support they need to pursue their dreams of an active lifestyle. They support wounded veterans through Operation Rebound and are helping victims of the Boston Marathon bombing as well. 

While my birthday was July 17th, I am running the fundraiser thru July 31st. As in the past, I will be giving away incentive prizes along the way via Twitter @CrusePhoto. At the conclusion of the fundraiser, I will be having a drawing for prizes for all those donating $50 or more.

Thank you for your support! Please donate $10 or more! 


Update: The official fundraising campaign is over and prizes are being distributed. You can still donate using the above link. CAF provides grants to those in need year round.

Donate $50 and you are eligible to win some fantastic prizes!
 The following prizes will be given away via random drawing to lucky winners who donate $50 or more. You receive one entry for each $50 donation. One prize per person! See fine print at the bottom. If I reach my goal of $10,000, your odds of winning are better than 1 in 50
