So far, I've had success with Circuit City (wow - we got the $100 gift card, too!), American Girl, AAA, our local zoo, our local television stations (tee-shirts, hats, and a studio tour from one of them), tickets and merchandise from local sports teams, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Lowe's, Sears, Old Navy, Pizza Hut, Little Caesar's, Meijer, Best Buy, the planetarium and children's museum. Other than Circuit City and AAA, I applied for donations at the local franchise, not through the corporation. I'm still trying on some others.

I've been turned down by Crayola (Binney-Smith), Mattell, Media Play, Toys R Us and Fisher Price. More rejections to come, I'm sure. Haha. I'm a horrible solicitor!

Does anyone know if Target has an in-store donation request process? I know the corporation only gives grants, but I wondered if the individual stores had money allocated for local giving.

If anyone has a copy of the Donation Letter could you please foward it to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. I haven't received one yet and was hoping to check it out so I can get started. THANKS!

I'm interested in getting the letter that was submitted to organizations and celebrities for auction donations. I would appreciate any help.

Can you please email a copy of the donation letter also. I would greatly appreciate it.

Our local Pepsi distributor donated 10 cases of pop (240 cans).

for me, coke never replied and pepsi sent me a towel with a letter saying to contact my local distributer. I contacted the local distributer who said to fax them a letter which I did, but they did not respond to it.
