LILI CLAIRE KIDS 
Lili Claire Kids was formed with two goals in mind: to increase the sensitivity of kids to other kids who have special needs, and allow kids to play a role in raising money to help the Foundation to provide hope, answers and help for special needs children and their families.

Fundraising ideas
Some great fundraising ideas include:
Get creative! If you are interested in planning your own fundraiser, please contact staff@liliclairefoundation.org for more information about the Foundation, as well as guidelines for fundraising activities. Please note you will need parental consent to hold a fundraiser. (click here for consent form)
Another way you can help special needs kids is by helping to change the way we use the word “retarded.” “Retarded” is a perfectly good word when it is used accurately to describe a medical condition that refers to people with developmental delay, mental retardation, and special needs and neurogenetic conditions. But when it is used as an insult or negatively, it can be very hurtful. People with mental retardation are not stupid; they understand perfectly well that people are making fun of them.
