Through caring people like you, MTK will become a reality that will positively impact the lives of thousands of children and adults.</p> <div id="separator"></div> <h2>At the office</h2> <p>At this time we are all volunteers, but in time will need to hire a camp director, fundraiser and secretary. Many times there will be large mailings to get out, thank you letters to write, calls to be made, etc. We are also forming committees to help plan fundraisers, ways to  spread the word , design the facility and the programing. Call us when you have some time and/or if you&#8217;d like to serve on a committee. You can usually find me (Mary) in the office 601-892-1117. If you can&#8217;t reach anyone, please call my cell phone 601-750-3457 or try our email at <a href="mailto:mstoughkids@yahoo.com">mstoughkids@yahoo.com</a> <h2>Fundraising</h2> <p> We anticipate spending approximately $20 million to build our camp. We are regularly applying for grants and talking to corporations about giving donations. If you have an inside track to a company or individual that might donate, we&rsquo;d REALLY appreciate your help.</p> <p>If you belong to a group that often sponsors nonprofit groups and could arrange for us to come speak to the group, we&rsquo;d like very much to do that. </p> <p> If you or your group would be interested in sponsoring a fundraiser, we&rsquo;d be delighted to work with you. If you need ideas, we have learned of some great fundraising ideas from camps in nearby states.</p> <p> Donations can, of course, be made directly to MTK Foundation. Perhaps you&rsquo;d like to make a donation in honor of someone you know who will be a camper. Maybe you&rsquo;d like to give a gift in memory of someone special in your life. We have donation cards we&rsquo;d be glad to send you, just email your request (<a href="mailto:mstoughkids@yahoo.com">mstoughkids@yahoo.com</a>), call us at 601-892-1117 or write to Mississippi&rsquo;s Toughest Kids Foundation, PO Box 520, Crystal Springs, MS 39059. You can make your tax deductable check out to MTK Foundation.</p> <div id="separator"></div> <h2>Spread the Word</h2> <p> <img src="../images/mtk_brochure.png" alt="Mississippi's Toughest Kids brochure" width="103" height="196" align="right" />It is so important that Mississippians know what we are doing. We have brochures that we&rsquo;d love to mail you in order for you to give them out to friends. <a href="../docs/mtk_brochure.pdf">Click here to download the brochure PDF.</a> We will soon have a DVD we can send, which we encourage you to show at any gathering. And, of course, we&#8217;d love to come ourselves and share our plans with you and your group.</p> <div id="separator"></div> <h2>After the building starts </h2> <p>When the building actually starts, the office work will certainly increase. We anticipate work days at the campsite also. Look for more on this later.</p> <div id="separator"></div> <h2>After the camp begins </h2> <p>Volunteers will be needed EVERYWHERE! Please watch for more information on this later. </p> </div> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --></div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> <!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
