Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 , I have some beaded jewelry that I have made. Would you want any of that to auction off? shellie Subject: HOPEFESTTo: infantile_scoliosis Date: Thursday, July 31, 2008, 3:26 PM HOPEFEST Donation ChallengeWe need your assistance!On October 11, 2008, ISOP will be having our 2nd Annual HOPEFEST in Virginia! This fundraiser is organized by a long standing member of the CAST Support Group, whose son had the opportunity to grow straight from the Early Treatment Method. Thanks to and her family, the monies raised from the HOPEFEST will enable ISOP to organize Early Treatment training tutorials (ETP's), next year. ISOP decided a couple of years ago, to focus on ETPs as our number one priority. We are sure the ETPs create the best opportunity to make an impact in the medical community and expand awareness about early treatment of infantile scoliosis. We want as many medical professionals as possible to benefit directly from Dr. Mehta's expertise, and as many children as possible to be seen and treated by physicians trained in the Early Treatment Method. We are so grateful to Dr. Mehta for dedicating her career to the treatment of infantile scoliosis, and for her willingness to share her invaluable knowledge with ISOP and the medical community. We are also very grateful to the pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, here & abroad for realizing the benefit of this gentle treatment and adopting it in their own hospitals, and especially for embracing ISOP and the ETP effort. This endeavor would not be possible without the dedication from this core group of ET surgeons. Thanks, to these surgeons a significant number of our children are already benefiting from Dr. Mehta's philosophy. Each day, many new families who are searching for a place to learn about infantile scoliosis and treatment options discover the ISOP website. How might your life and the life of your child be different without the guidance of ISOP, the knowledge of early treatment, Dr. Mehta's brilliant lifetime of work, and the help of these doctors?We'd like to challenge each and every family who reads this, along with your extended families and friends, to reach into your pockets and make a donation to support our next HOPEFEST, a parent driven initiative. Donations made to the HOPEFEST fundraiser will go directly to subsidize the cost of ETP's, so more children will have the opportunity to grow straight, gently and permanently. Be an active part of ISOP's effort to increase the early use of Plaster of Paris jackets in the U.S. Help us increase the number of children saved from the "wait and see" mentality with its inevitable surgeries and unnecessary trauma to our kids. We are also in need of auction items, so if you think you can help, please contact or ISOP, direct… jvsdembarqmail (DOT) com or heather@infantilesc oliosis.org To donate now, by mail or online, go to www.infantilescolio sis.org and indicate that the donation is for HOPEFEST, so its directed, appropriately.Thanks, so much, in advance for your generosity and your contribution to our effort! & Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi , I was wondering if you are able to have alcohol to auction at the event? I might be able to get a few bottles of wine/champagne donated here in Napa. Also, do you have a letter that describes Hopefest on ISOP letterhead with their tax ID? This would be helpful when soliciting donations. I just need the file and can print it myself.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hey . You can go to ISOP's website (www.infantilescoliosis.org) and print off a copy of the HOPEfest Sponsorship pack. All the information needed is there (including the date-October 11th) and you can provide the sponsor pack to any potential sponsors. Usually, we provide a letter following the event to each sponsor and person who donated that includes all pertinant tax ID info. Just let me know if there is anything else you need.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 - I will do what ever I can to help and I do hope that others in the group will join in and support this event as well. Remember parents, this is for our children!!! My daughter unfortunately missed the "window"and my husband is a Pediatrician, his dad is a surgeon and his two brothers are doctors~ but still we didn't know that casting was an option. She was braced for a year and rapidly progressed from 36 to 74degrees! She did not begin casting until she was 22 months. It makes me so sad to think we could have casted her at 10 months and not done the "wait and see" route. She has now had 12 casts and 4 braces and will face surgery in the future. Lets not let that happen to other children!!! PLEASE HELP and support who has spent so much time organizing this for two years. She has done most of the work for us- just consider asking family and friends for donations, get auction items, etc. Every little bit will help!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 hello~ along the lines of Amy~ I was thinking that it may be nice as a group to contribute something ~ I think it would seem less daunting since we all have different financial abilities (especially with the economy the way it is! ) We could pull 15-20$ (or less or more depending on your means) and buy something to be auctioned off ~ from the parents of the CAST group~ I know IPODS are a great things...depending on the amount of money we could do a Wii or something along those lines. I thought it would be nice to do something from the parents in addition/or not to what each individual family is doing. I would be willing to collect the money and purchase and send the item/items to . I know there is a lot going on with each of our children~ and I know everyone wants to help~ I am just trying to make it easier! If you are planning on doing other stuff for the festival~ please continue with those plans~ ISOP needs every bit of it...but if you were not sure what to do or were limited in means~ this would be good! In addition for the people at the festival, they see a united group of parents/families supporting ISOP. anyway, just my little soap box....please if anyone is interested...let me know... natalie mom to luke ( he turned 1 yesterday! casted, currently in a brace) Re: HOPEFEST - I will do what ever I can to help and I do hope that others in the group will join in and support this event as well.

This fundraiser is organized by a long standing member of the CAST Support Group, whose son had the opportunity to grow straight from the Early Treatment Method. Thanks to and her family, the monies raised from the HOPEFEST will enable ISOP to organize Early Treatment training tutorials (ETP's), next year.

We are sure the ETPs create the best opportunity to make an impact in the medical community and expand awareness about early treatment of infantile scoliosis. We want as many medical professionals as possible to benefit directly from Dr. Mehta's expertise, and as many children as possible to be seen and treated by physicians trained in the Early Treatment Method. We are so grateful to Dr. Mehta for dedicating her career to the treatment of infantile scoliosis, and for her willingness to share her invaluable knowledge with ISOP and the medical community. We are also very grateful to the pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, here & abroad for realizing the benefit of this gentle treatment and adopting it in their own hospitals, and especially for embracing ISOP and the ETP effort. This endeavor would not be possible without the dedication from this core group of ET surgeons.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 hello ~ I see others have posted as where to find information about the hopefest. is the person in charge. She is the one who developed the festival and does all that needs to be done! She and the festival are down in Virginia. I wish I could do more to help ! You can donate items, send out a letter to friends and family asking for donations. The money you are sending to me is to buy an auction item for the silent auction. I thought it would be nice to have an item that the parents from this group came together to purchase. So I am only collecting money for that~ is the one (after you read on the ISOP) who can answer all your questions (like she does for me on a daily basis ) ) Thanks to all of you that are putting checks in the mail...I am on vacation this week but have been pricing out Wii and IPODS! If anyone has any other ideas of something they think may also do well in an auction, please feel free to let me know! natalie steph~ I will call you when I get back in town! Re: HOPEFEST - I am also sending a check. Could we get some more details about the Hopefest for the new members like me? How can we help or bid on items???

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 , Krista, Jill, Steph, Tasha and all who responded, This is a great idea!! An item donated from the CAST Support Group will show attendees that parents support the Early Treatment Method for children with progressive i.s. and of course will generate more $ for the ET cause…. Thanks a lot! Please keep the ideas coming and let me know what you need from me. Lets double our money this year, so we can organize twice the amount of ET tutorials next year, in the U.S & abroad. Eventually, we plan to start our “Eradicate Progressive Infantile Scoliosis Worldwide Campaign,” and the Hopefest may enable us to begin such a huge project, sooner than later.. I am really getting excited about this event! Thanks for your help!
