Earth Day Debuts CCCC's Cartridges for Kids

April 22 is Earth Day, a time to celebrate the environment and protect the planet for our children. On Earth Day 2005, the CCCC Foundation Board is pleased to announce the unveiling of its new environmentally friendly fundraiser, Cartridges For Kids. This unique fundraiser has helped thousands of educational and nonprofit organizations nationwide reach fundraising goals...and now it is here in Kern County!

Every year millions of pounds of inkjet, laser, fax and copier cartridges as well as cell phones are tossed into landfills. Teaming up with Cartridges For Kids will help keep these items out of the landfills and generate funds for projects that are a priority for Kern County. Participanting organizations, businesses and families collect empty toner and inkjet cartridges as well as used cell phones, and for every item recycled through this program a donation is made to the CCCC Foundation. Money raised will help CCCC continue to create and support innovative programs that educate child care providers and families about the importance of quality child care and car seat safety.

By making this small commitment, you can celebrate Earth Day everyday and make a lasting impact on the lives of others in our community. Learn how you or your organziation can help Kern County children with Cartridges for Kids by clicking here!
