Our Fundraiser - Perfect Party Consultant

Fundraiser Info

IF YOU ARE PLANNING A PARTY, WHY NOT MAKE IT AN EVENT WHERE EVERYONE CAN BENEFIT?...Future Prison construction is now being predicted based on current elementary school literacy rates... Did you know that as little as 20 minutes a day reading with your child can help prepare them for being at the head of their class?...When you order a Perfect Party by Cody, you introduce your child, family and friends (and your child’s friends) to a world with no boundaries.. As your guests order a Perfect Party for their children they will also help spread the word through your community of the importance of literacy, character and life skills...Sign our Guest Book and order our awesome catalog back on our Home Page... Perfect Party by Cody is not just about business, we are about supporting all communities and encouraging the future potential of their most important members, THE CHILDREN.. Unlike any other skill your children learn, when they know how to read, they have no limits. They can buy a car (and not get taken) because they know how to see the features and compare prices. They can write checks and balance their bank accounts because they can calculate numbers. They can be scientists, teachers, journalists, astronauts, President, computer stars, anything they want, because they recognize and understand the symbols of communication... While we routinely associate reading with literacy, literacy is more inclusive than that, and success in reading can be drawn from music, dance, art and other creative venues for challenging and stimulating your children’s interests......NEED FUNDS....., Shanelle and Paul Cody will help literacy organizations,literacy councils, schools, libraries,friends of libraries, clubs, community agencies, youth teams, PTA, PTO and others raise funds in a positive way... If you care,please link to us or forward this website to all your contacts... THANK YOU for SCROLLING BELOW to meet some great people literacy causes and businesses that have your child's future at heart.

Our Goal
It is the Goal of everyone on this website to help you inspire your children and lead them to a life-long love of books. But our ideas don’t stop here...We aim to foster children's literacy skills by helping them engage their brain in the activities that stimulate learning, growth, and ultimately success: reading, writing, math, art, music, dance, theatre, languages. Whether your child wants to read a book of poetry, or join a local ballet school or drama group, they have the opportunity to engage the world around them... Like you, we want our children to have full advantage of life's opportunities and help them avoid the pitfalls that limit their potential. Let us be clear: for us it is about letting a child have fun and explore their OWN potential, not imposing our own super-student goals for them...Every effort that breaks the cycle of illiteracy benefits us all. To this end Perfect Party by Cody will donate 15% of all purchases made from this site to participating literacy and life skill community-based programs.
