RE: Re: Convention question-MAGIC Scholarships

[Guest guest]

MAGIC offers scholarships to families who would like to go to the

convention, but without financial assistance would not be able to attend.

Anyone interested in applying for a scholarship can contact me at daycarney

@ everestkc.net. There is an application you'll need to fill out that I can

mail to you. Simply email me your request and include your address, child's

name and DOB. I'll get an application to you quickly as all scholarships are

first come, first serve. You can check out the convention program at

www.magicfoundation.org <http://www.magicfoundation.org/> or call MAGIC at

800-3MAGIC3 and request a program.

All of the monies for our scholarship program are funds that other families

have donated for this purpose. Any family wishing to fundraise for their

trip, or to provide for someone else's, can call MAGIC and request a copy of

the fundraising guide. MANY families fundraise for their trips and it's

easy!! MAGIC also has brochures you can pass out to family and friends that

have a tear off donation page they can send into MAGIC with their donation.

It's tax deductible and did I mention easy!!! Last year, my husband and I

raised enough for our entire trip, by simply mailing brochures to our family

and friends!! 2 garage sales helped someone else come!!!

how we went our first year and we only had to pay for the plane ride

and food durining the day and spending money if you went any where

eles. This year it will cost us for the 3 nights around $2000.00 for

a family of 4. We do have some money from word of mouth just telling

people we know family and friends who have donated to us.
