IRW is thrilled and honored to announce a partnership with Scrapping 4 Inclusion, a nationwide awareness and fundraising campaign that solely benefits The Bubel/Aiken Foundation (TBAF).

Co-founded by singing sensation Clay Aiken, The Bubel/Aiken Foundation provides services and financial assistance to promote the full integration of children with disabilities into the life environment of those without disabilities. The Foundation strives to create awareness about the diversity of individuals with disabilities and the positive results that inclusion can bring.

The mission of Scrapping 4 Inclusion is to develop a network of volunteers across the USA who will organize community scrapbooking events thus creating awareness and raising funds on behalf of children with disabilities and their advocates at TBAF.  In 2007, their first year, 10 events were held raising over $12,000 for TBAF.  Currently 37 US cities have Scrapping 4 Inclusion Organizers who are actively planning their events for 2008. 

IRW has always been a community of friendship and generosity, and we are excited to build this partnership where our instructors can share their passion and knowledge and support while building relationships and awareness about TBAF throughout their communities.  Ask your local instructor for more details on how to get involved!
