Relay For Life of Santa Clarita
Sat 9am to Sun 9am, May 22-23, 2010 at Central Park

We have 104 days left until Relay!


Fighting cancer is a team effort. The impact we can make together is much greater than what any of us could do alone.

At Relay, our team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society save more lives from cancer.

By joining or donating to our team, you will be a part of a life-changing event that gives everyone in the community a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Help us create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Since 2006, Macy’s Shop For A Cause Event has partnered with non-profit organizations nationwide to raise more than $28 million for their ongoing charitable efforts. This is your chance to be part of this monumental event

on Saturday, October 17, 2009.

Shop For A Cause gives you the opportunity to help SCValleyMommies.com by

purchasing a $5 Shopping Pass* for exclusive savings and special offers in every Macy’s store on Saturday, October 17th. As a participating charity we keep 100% of the proceeds from the sale of each pass. Plus, you can enter to win a $500 Macy’s Gift Card!

Come together with Macy’s and us, and while you’re out enjoy a day of shopping and great savings, you’ll be helping our community at the same time.

*Some exclusions apply. For more information or to order a shopping pass, call contact Rhi (Melissa/irishdreaming) at Melissa@SCValleyMommies.com.

Us here at SCValleyMommies.com

The Mommies Network and your local sites need your help!!

We're having a fundraiser with Trekaroo to raise $10,000 to help pay for liability insurance for all of our sites!

We need you to write reviews!

Join our team at http://www.trekaroo.com/groups/show/mommies-network. Every review you write earns us $.50. There is no limit to the number of reviews you can write!!

Writing reviews is easy and fun! Help TMN and your site. Just a few reviews every day will get us to our goal! Ask your family & friends to help too. Anyone can join our team!

Save the Server!
[Cough] [cough] The system health is strained due to overwork and lack of sleep.

Write reviews and help TMN raise money for a new server so we won't have to see this message any more!

Save the Server!

The Mommies Network needs your help. We are raising money to pay for a new server. In order to continue growing, we need to add a new server to our system. At this point, we are unable to add any more sites to our network because we are maxed out (have you seen the "[Cough] [cough] The system health is strained due to overwork and lack of sleep." message at the bottom of the screen?). The basic server we need is at least $5,000. The more money we raise, the better quality server we can purchase. Our goal is to raise $10,000 during this fundraiser.
The fundraiser runs from Sunday, January 4 through Sunday, January 25.



How can you help?
Join Insider Pages http://www. insiderpages. com/fundraisers/The-Mommies-Network-0901 and write reviews for businesses that you have patronized in the last 24 months. Invite your friends and families to write reviews as well - they do NOT need to live in your area, this is a national fundraiser ;) The more people who are writing reviews, the more successful this fundraiser will be! Our goal is to have all of our members write at least 10 reviews over the three weeks of the fundraiser. Each review can earn up to $1.
50 for The Mommies Network! Every little bit helps!


You win too!
Your members have four chances to raise money for your site too!
When TMN raises $1000, we will pick one participating site to receive $50 for a site party/event, and that site will receive a special theme color.

When TMN raises $2500, we will pick one participating site to receive $100 for a site party/event, and that site will receive a special theme color.

When TMN raises $5000, we will pick 1 participating site to receive $125 for a site party/event, and that site will receive a special theme color.

When TMN raises $10,000, we will pick 1 participating site to receive $150 for a site party/event, and that site will receive a special theme color.

*A participating site is any site that has 10% or more of their members register, join their site team and write at least one review. Based on membership numbers as of December 2008.

The fine print from Insider Pages:
* You must be at least 18 years old to participate.

* Your experience with the business or service reviewed must be a first-hand experience. No hearsay please.

* Your experience with the business or service provider must have occurred within the last 24 months.

* The reviewed company must still be in business.

* Reviews of restaurant chains (McDonalds, Outback Steakhouse, KFC, etc.), gas station chains, movie theater chains and national or regional chain stores (Target, Dollar Tree, Home Depot etc.) DO NOT qualify. You are welcome to write reviews for these businesses but they will not earn your organization money for the fundraiser. Most people are pretty familiar with these businesses and there tends to be little differentiation city to city and state to state. In other words, these are businesses that do not require a word-of-mouth referral so reviews of these businesses are of little value to people like you – and to our community of users.

* Copied reviews in whole or in part from any other sources do not qualify.

* Profanity, abusive or offensive language in reviews, reviews alleging illegal activity or malpractice, and reviews deemed inappropriate by Insider Pages editors do not qualify.

* Proper grammar, punctuation and spelling must be used. No "text speak" or ALL CAPS.

* Business owners and employees/associates are not allowed to review themselves. Instead, business owners should claim their business profile page and customize it by adding information, photos, special offers, their story, and more – all for FREE.

* If you are adding a new business to the Insider Pages database, please make sure to the best of your ability that the listing is not a duplicate and that the company's current contact information is provided. Information provided must be able to be verified by a third party source including another website, a business card, receipt, directory listing or other reliable source.

* Personal information or messages including email addresses, URLs, phone numbers and postal addresses (or both first and last name of an individual unless their name is also part of the business name) that are not already publicly available.

* Review submissions must be entered directly on the Insider Pages website.

* Reviews not meeting our terms and conditions or deemed inappropriate by Insider Pages editors do not qualify.

Thank you for supporting The Mommies Network!

This is what the image should look like. Remember SCVM does not receive credit unless the flyer is presented to the server between the specified times!

Please pass this on to all your friends.

And SCValleyMommies thanks you for your support!!

On a final note don't forget to invite your friends and relatives to participate and support the SCValley Mommies fundraiser. Groups that have recruited their extended support networks have been even more successful in turning in huge review numbers and beating their fundraising goals. Remember, people don't need to be in your immediate area, they just need to join the fundraiser by clicking your group link above and writing reviews for local businesses where they live. It's an easy way to give your group a boost!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us at fundraisers@insiderpages.com and please be sure you have "SCValley Mommies" in the subject line so we can get back to you quickly.

Help us raise money for SCValleyMommies by reviewing local businesses on Insider Pages!

Here's an easy way to help raise money for SCValleyMommies. This fundraiser is different because you don't need to buy or sell anything; instead we are asking you to tell us about the local businesses and services you use all of the time by reviewing them online. For each review you write, we will raise up to $1.00!

Specifically, if you are the first to review a business, your review will earn us $1.00. If you are the second (or third, or fourth) reviewer to post a review, your review will earn us $0.25! Reviews of chains do not earn our organization money.

Dates: Our fundraiser starts today and ends on 12/14/08.

How to Participate:

1. Sign up at
http://www.insiderpages.com/fundraisers/SCValley-Mommies-0812
