Host a "Sibling Superstar" Supply Drive
Choose "brothers" or "sisters" or both, and host a drive to collect a list of specific things to include in Sibling Superstar Mini Care Packages. What would your sister or brother like to receive to let them know they are special? You come up with the list of items you'd like to collect, and get a group involved in making donations. Examples of things to collect: $10 iTunes, Google Play, Kindle, xBox, Starbucks gift cards; craft projects; journals and fun pens; Beanie Babies; Legos . . . be creative. Send your donations to us, and we will make sure they are sent to well-deserving siblings of children with CRMO. For more information on this program, please see the Sibling Superstar Information on the Care Packages and Programs tab.

We have been so blessed to have families who have received care packages ask how they can help raise funds so that others can experience the joy they received. All fundraisers are designed to also be awareness campaigns. If you have CRMO or are hosting a fundraising drive in honor of someone with CRMO, take this opportunity to share this person's story and raise awareness of CRMO.
Host a "Koins for Komfort" Drive
Do you know how much a 16 ounce water bottle can fundraise? Approximately $100 in dimes!! This is a great way for schools, clubs or any others to to get involved. Hosting a Koins for Komfort Drive is easy. Simply decorate empty 16 ounce water bottles (or any size bottle), and collect loose change - mixed coins or specify dimes only, quaters only, etc. Take your coins to the bank after your fundraiser ends, and make an online donation or send a check to Kaila’s Komfort. Some banks will take your loose change and weigh it; others will require that your coins are rolled. Please check with your specific bank for the rules on accepting loose change. Each care package costs @$50, so one 16 ounce bottle of dimes could send two newly diagnosed children with CRMO a care package!
We will provide you with the following:

We will provide you with the following:
- Personalized Koins for Komfort Water Bottle Labels - if you have previously received a care package and have a photo of you with your package, we can customize the labels with your picture. We can either email the format for you to print yourself, or we can mail you the labels, which are ready to be affixed to the water bottles.
- If needed, we can mail you coin rolls sleeves to roll your change in after your fundraiser.
- If you are doing this as a competition, i.e., which class raises the most funds, etc., we would be happy to provide a prize for the winning group (popsicles, cookies, etc.).
