The wait is over! Over the next month, Cardz For Kidz will roll out our new Salesforce-based tracking and email acknowledgment system. Over the next several weeks, artist volunteers can expect to receive email acknowledgments for any packages counted in 2021 and 2022. Please include your email address when mailing in cards or checks.

Sharie has been invaluable to the Cardz For Kidz team. Whether it's counting, sorting, and proofing cards at home, overseeing different stations at events or connecting us with other nonprofits willing to provide best practices to help us grow. She truly wants to help in any way possible, and for that, we're grateful. Thank you, Sharie, for all that you do!
