2010 Clay Aiken Calendar
Fans Raise Funds for Inclusion
Besides current fundraising campaigns through special charity giveaways, this holiday season Clay Aiken fans will also participate in the annual Wrapping for Inclusion and Deck the Halls projects.
Many will order the 2010 calendar of photos by toni7babe assembled each year by Rosa Shurtz. All proceeds after costs go to the National Inclusion Project.
The lead photo above is the calendar cover, and these are double clickable samples for January, April, October, and December.
Cost of the calendar is $21 through Paypal or $20 by personal check. Interested persons should email Rosa -- rosash@comcast.net -- for further details. Use the email address for Paypal orders.
Order and print deadline is Nov. 15. Calendars will be shipped before Christmas.
I will always remember Susan Guinn (xxx4clay), who was in the hospital undergoing treatments this time last year, finally losing her battle with cancer in July.
Susan had inquired about a 2009 calendar before entering the hospital. I hoped a Clay Aiken calendar would benefit my friend and help her through some rough times, so I asked Rosa to send mine to West Virginia instead.
She did. A few days later a calendar arrived in my mailbox also. Help Rosa with her annual fundraising project for inclusion. She is very special ... and your wall will handsomely improve!
Wrapping for Inclusion raises funds as well as awareness for the work of the National Inclusion Project. As in past years, shoppers in malls and at various stores will have their gifts wrapped and learn about the work of the foundation.
If you are new to WFI and would like to volunteer, see Wrapping for Inclusion at the NIP website.
Mark Your Calendar
Set your clock and calendar for Friday and Saturday (Oct. 30 and 31), the designated days to make donations for the National Inclusion Project through the America's Giving Challenge on Facebook. Minimum for a unique donation is $10.
Donations for each 24-hour periods should begin at 3 p.m. Recruit others to support inclusion in this way. As of 2 p.m. Tuesday, donations for the National Inclusion Project totaled $10,105, enough to fund one "Let's All Play" summer camp.

I have last year calendar and thought she did a great job and the pictures were wonderful
I sure hope that there will be a lot of support for the Trick or Treat project for the National Inclusion Project and I am sure Clay Aiken will be grateful if we can get the $10K for an additional camp.

Thank you for the great blog with info on the various fund raisers. I'm going to order 2 of the Clay Aiken calendars. I write appointments and birthday reminders on my calendars, so I want one to use and one to keep!
OMHG that calendar ROCKS!!<3
I just wanted to say Thank You so much to Caro for all her help with the info. She's amazing isn't she? Thanks to Toni7babe for her wonderful photos. It was a team effort and without all of your help and support, it would not be possible. I want to thank you all to everyone who puts their effort into helping to make a difference. you are all super Clay fans. I love you and appreciate you very much.
Thanks again!

Great calendar Caro! I'll take Mr. December! :)
I hope the Clay Nation comes through this weekend for the Trick or Trick for National Inclusion Project. It's such a great cause and it would be wonderful to win $10,000 for a camp!!!
Hearing about the Gala was so interesting, but the most impressive thing was hearing that Eunice Shriver's Kennedy foundation called the NIP's "Let's All Play" program "genius" and wants to use it as a model for their programs. NIP is doing something very right and hope we can earn that extra $10,000 for another camp.
