A huge donation!!

Today we received a most generous donation from YCML Engineering Ltd, a civil and structural engineering company based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia on the eastern side of Canada.
This donation was $300 and will definitely be appreciated by the Greater New Orleans Foundation! We cannot thank this company enough! We will have the company's logo on our shirts too but until then for more information please visit their website at http://www.ymcl.ca/.
Thank you again!!

Cycling Jerseys...

We are running out of time and are having a very difficult time finding a company to print cycling jerseys for us with our logo. If you know of a company that does custom printing and does small orders in a short period of time please send us a message!! Thank you:)

Other ways to help...

We received an email from one of our donors giving us lots of ways their family has reduced their energy consumption in the home. To learn more check out the "Other Ways to Help" page.

We've added some general ways to help but send us an email on ways you or your family cuts down on energy! We can always learn from each other!

Some more messages from Lisa's Grade 4 students were added below and wow they are impressive! Maybe someone should talk to them because it seems like they've got some creative ways to fix the oil spill problem. Great messages Lisa's class!
