Dexter Daze Non-Profit Booth
The Berry Patch Foundation had a non-profit booth at the Dexter Michigan Dexter Daze festival in 2005. Dexter Daze, an annual summer festival held each year in the beginning of August, has become an important function for our Foundation as it allows us to share information regarding pediatric cancer research as well as raise funds via donations.

Friday July 22 - Saturday July 23
Ann Arbor Art Fair Non-Profit Booth

The Berry Patch Foundation participated in the 2005 Ann Arbor Art Fair held during July 2005. We had a booth in the non-profit section where we were able to share information about pediatric cancer research to hundreds of people and collect donations for the Foundation. It was a great success. We raised over $750. Look for us again in 2006!

Hundred percent of the proceeds from every item is given directly to the Foundation in support of our efforts to raise resources for Pediatric cancer research, education and treatment. Each piece of jewelry contains a strawberry charm symbolizing the Foundation. Please contact Lori or call 734-222-5088 for more information.

Pop Can Tab Tops collection
We are collecting aluminum pull-tabs from beverage/soup cans to raise funds for the Foundation. We work with local recycling centers to receive money for each pound of tabs collected. We have set an initial goal to collect 1 ton (2000 lbs) of tabs per year. So please help us make a difference.Start collecting the tabs at home, at work, at schools and in your neighborhood. Those tiny tabs can have a huge impact. We’re asking that individuals and companies put a "tab box" in high traffic areas/lunch rooms and when they are full Contact us to make arrangements for pickup.

Cell Phone collecting
There are millions of unused cell phones lying idle in American homes and businesses. We are raising funds for The Berry Patch Foundation through the collection of used cell phones. Batteries must be attached (no accessories, please). We will receive a monetary donation for each cell phone we collect. Contact us to locate a drop box location near you.

Toner and ink jet cartridge collection
The Berry Patch Foundation participates in empty laser and inkjet printer, fax and copier toner cartridge recycling. We return these cartridges to vendors in an effort to raise funds for pediatric cancer programs. Instead of throwing them away, simply donate your cartridges. Contact us to arrange for a pickup.
