Each year Dye & Durham (BASICS) supports the Children's Miracle Network by donating a portion of the proceeds through the sales of our Holiday Cards Collection to support this very worthwhile cause.
Children's Miracle Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping kids by raising funds for 170 children's hospitals across
North America. Each year these non-profit hospitals provide the finest care, research and community outreach to help millions of children with diseases and injuries of every kind. In
Canada, Children's Miracle Network raises funds for 14 children’s hospitals, and has helped millions of Canadian children. In the tradition of giving, Dye & Durham (BASICS), through NEBS, continues to be a proud sponsor of Children's Miracle Network. Children's Miracle Network, a national not-for-profit organization, is committed to generating funds and awareness programs for the benefit of the children served by local children's hospitals and foundations across
Canada each year.
Proceeds from the purchase of NEBS Main Street greeting cards and calendars go directly to Children's Miracle Network to support the work they provide for its 14 member foundations/hospitals in
Canada. Your business can help us support Children's Miracle Network by purchasing a holiday greeting card or Z-fold calendar card from our Main Street Collection.
