We [Bubel Aiken Foundation] are blessed to have many faithful supporters who are connected through several message boards. Once we established our badge through a volunteer’s help and then put it up on our “Approved Fundraiser” page, the word spread quickly. Daily updates, encouragement, and advice flowed freely. The end of the drive happened to coincide with our annual “Champions of Change” gala and the fever of the drive led to even more anticipation for this highly-anticipated event. We were truly blown away by the final totals and are appreciative of our supporters’ passion which translated into funds that will help us to accomplish our mission.
Creating communities where ALL children can learn, live, and play together.

Kristy, your "faithful supporters" are blessed to have YOU!
Personally, I'm proud as punch to have been able to be involved.
It has been the joy of my life to be able to work with this organization and see for myself the stories and the good that have been accomplished to date.
Next time....FIRST place!
On to the next challenge!

Kristy and all the BAF staff,
The SixDegrees project was great fun and the donations certainly went to an incredible cause and organization in regards to the BAF.
I wasn't able to attend the Gala, but I was amazed at the funds raised and am thrilled to see the work the BAF has accomplished in such a short time. Keep up the good work!
Since the inception of the B/A Foundation, my family has learned a greal deal. The organization has not only created and operated numerous summer camps, awarded grants, and has initiated teaching incentives, it has also educated thousands of people about the importance of inclusion.
My hat is off to this foundation for having this vision, and for following through and making dreams come true for children everywhere. Kudos to an exceptional and responsive staff, board and founders who believe in their goals and work coninuously to see the foundation succeed.
My hope is that Bubel-Aiken will continue to grow and thrive in providing education, advocacy and inclusive programs where children of all abilities are one family. Your goal to create commuities where ALL children can learn, live and play together has become a success.
Great job at your gala. The awards were given to exceptional people and organizations - all were deserving of the acknowledgment!
Best of luck and continued success!
Kristy and Aron - and the great volunteers who alerted everyone about SixDegrees and posted daily reminders - all deserve a Standing Ovation!
And Kevin Bacon deserves applause, as well. I think the greatest thing about the Challenge was giving a chance for every donation, large or small, to really count!
What a great concept!
I was fortunate enough to be at the Gala. The video we saw made me even more proud to be a small part of what TBAF does!
Great Work!
Congratulations Kristy, Aron, Diane and the staff at BAF! The difference you are making in the lives of children with disabilities and their families will be a difference for life! Children that have opportunities for inclusive education and recreation today will be our leaders tomorrow. Maybe then we can all live in a world that is not "us and them" but "we". Thanks for caring and including all of us in this great activity.

I think the 'faithful supporters' really enjoyed this contest. We got daily updates on our status and daily challanges. We love supporting this organization and are always willing to step up for the cause. You and Aron are doing a great job.
