Thanks to Sara Wilson for contacting me. Blogged on this Fresh Air Fund earlier. You can visit the site at http://freshairfund-newsrelease.com/ . They are looking for donations now, and it will be matched dollar-for-dollar now.

| Right now any gift you make to The Fresh Air Fund will be matched dollar for dollar by a group of generous donors! If you can give $25 that means $50 for inner-city children. $50 becomes $100! |
| But you must make your donation by June 30th to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity! |

THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2008, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund's year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year.
