Sleep Country’s Foster Kids program has been collecting donations of the basic necessities that growing foster children need, but often do not have, as well as raising public awareness of local foster children’s needs. However, sometimes that isn’t enough. Your online donation will support the extra-curricular activities as well as the collection of the needed items for foster children during our current shoe drives. You donate online and we do the shopping for you! Your online donation will be used to directly support the current Foster Kids collection drive at the time of your donation.

Oregon Music Hall of Fame $12 in '12 Campaign
The Oregon Music Hall of Fame has launched their $12 in '12 fundraising campaign, which asks supporters to make a tax-deductible donation of $12 to the organization in 2012. The Portland-based nonprofit is seeking to expand its Musical Assemblies and Scholarship activities throughout Oregon's K-8 schools: "We currently have more requests from Oregon schools for our outstanding Musical Assemblies than we can accommodate," said Hall of Fame President and local music entrepreneur Terry Currier. The assemblies are presented as fun, interactive events that teach kids how musical instruments work while fostering an appreciation and interest in music.
The Hall of Fame also wants to increase the amount and number of Scholarships it awards annually to graduating Oregon High School Seniors. The scholarship program receives from 100 to 300 applications per year. Between 2007 and 2011, 18 Oregon youth received scholarships totaling $17,500.
Hall of Fame supporters can make their $12 in '12 donation and get more information at the Oregon Music Hall of Fame's website (www.omhof.org), by emailing the Hall of Fame at 12in12@omhof.org or at the Oregon Musical Hall Of Fame's Facebook page
