American Girl Shine On Now Campaign and *GIVEAWAY

American Girl has an incredible campaign this summer – Shine On Now - starting TODAY (July 13th, 2010) thru July 31st to donate $1 million dollars for food, clothes, books, dolls, and money to 4 amazing charities - Kids in Distressed Situations, National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions, National Wildlife Federation, and Save the Children.
I’m thrilled beyond thrilled to be a Parent Partner to help promote this campaign. As a mother of 4 boys, I haven’t been able to purchase any American Girl Dolls yet… but I have seen my nieces love the brand for years and years. Actually, I remember when American Girl “hit” the scene years and years ago. I used to babysit for a little girl who just loved her Samantha Doll. I fell in love with the brand when I saw how they were teaching young girls about history, I thought it was remarkable. When they approached me to be a Parent Partner, I jumped at the opportunity because I think it is wonderful that American Doll is giving back. I’ve seen the power of their brand throughout the years, and I am captivated by their push right now to do more good.
Head over to Shine On Now to contribute a free ‘star’ to the effort. The goal is to collect one million stars by the end of the program on July 31, 2010. In addition, every star contributed (you can donate up to 100 each day!), your name will automatically be entered in a daily drawing to win a new My American Girl doll. Amazing, right!? You’ll also be able to see how close American Doll is to their goal!!
I personally love spreading this message… as a GIRL myself, I think it’s so essential and important to allow girls to SHINE!

My daughter just posted 6 stars…she is determined to get to 100 each day in order to contribute the maximum per day to help others! Thanks for this opportunity!
My daughter donated 1oo stars already! We are so thrilled about this program, and I cannot be more excited about the widespread message of giving that this program represents. Thanks for the opportunity to give back to my daughter that is always so giving – of love, time, and compassion. Best wishes!
I donated a star! With four girls here, you know that we a) KNOW American Girl and b) could desperately use a new doll to replace those with wild and crazy hair.
this is graet. donated a star. THANKS so much!

I love this idea of donating stars! We are doing it, and will continue to help so that AG can reach their goal. My 8 year old loves AG, and just got Ivy.
I donated a star and think this is GREAT! I have an American Girls Doll catalog sitting right beside my computer on my desk. I have 2 grand-daughters who would love one of these exceptional dolls. They even have one named Ivy.
I just donated several stars. American Girl is such a neat company.

Donated 100 stars again. For some reason, my comment from last night was posted as July 24th, even though it was the 23rd. I imagine this will say July 25th?
My 8 yr old daughter volunteers to teach and model social skills to children with autism, because her big brother has autism. She is incredibly patient and understanding, and finds ways to reach the kids through songs, games, and just sitting quietly beside them. She volunteers with autism sibling support groups and shares her feelings about having a brother with autism who cannnot communicate nor care for himself. She is an amazing open, loving and giving child who would probably choose to share or donate this doll if she won! Thank you for an opportunity to honor and recognize her contributions to making the world a better place for children with disabilities.
Donated 100 stars today…click by slooooow click!
