Dear Family and Friends,
This year, family and friends of the Caleb Tate Fuller Foundation can remember Caleb by serving on the “Forget- Me-Knot” team. We will serve children in the community with special needs through a series of local Walks and charitable events. The “Forget-Me-Knot” team will help raise funds for several worthwhile children’s program through participation in The Teddy Bear Walk benefiting The Children’s Dyslexia Centers of Cincinnati, The Butterfly Walk for “Cancer Free Kids, The Relay for Life to benefit The American Cancer Society and Cincinnati Walks in support of The Children’s Hospital of Cincinnati. The Foundation will also continue to support the Darkness to Light child sexual abuse prevention training program.
While the “Forget-Me-Knot” team will work to support these very worthwhile causes for children, we believe the greatest impact that The Caleb Tate Fuller Foundation has on the lives of local children is through the Caleb Tate Fuller Christian Education Scholarship Program. Through this program, local families can apply for tuition assistance to help their child(ren) in grades K – 12 attend a local Christian school. All funds given directly to the Caleb Tate Fuller Foundation this year will be used to underwrite these Christian education scholarships. Last year, seven children attending three different local Christian schools received tuition assistance from the Caleb Tate Fuller Foundation. The children and their families were very appreciative.
We are grateful for your support of The Caleb Tate Fuller Foundation and its mission to serve children in the community in honor of Caleb. We welcome you to join the “Forget Me Knot” team at any of the Cincinnati area walking events in support of local kids. Contact a CTF representative at 513-631-4377 for more information. We would also appreciate any contribution you would like to make to assist in the Christian Education Scholarship Program for the 2012-13 school year. Your tax deductable Contributions can be mailed to:

2011 in Review:
On behalf of The Caleb Tate Fuller Foundation, we are excited to announce plans for the 2011 “Forget-Me-Knot” programming. Our traditional “Forget-Me-Knot Walk” will be replaced with a group of “Forget-Me-Knot” Ambassadors partnering with other reputable charitable foundations in memory of Caleb through service to children. On May 7th, we will walk in The Cancer Free Kid’s, “Butterfly Walk” and host a Bid & Buy at this event. 100% of these proceeds will be given for cancer and hematology research done at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Many involved with this walk knew Caleb during his cancer treatment at Children’s Hospital. Then, on May 13th, the “Forget-Me-Knot” Ambassadors will be walking in the American Cancer Society’s, “Relay for Life”. There, we will also be providing inflatable rides and operating a concession stand with all proceeds from this event being given to the American Cancer Society. Proceeds from this annual “Forget-Me-Knot” letter campaign to friends and family will fund the programs and events for local kids provided and hosted directly by the Caleb Tate Fuller Foundation. Among these will be the Mad Cap Puppets, Mad Science, Darkness to Light child abuse prevention, Money Matters ten week financial literacy course for kids and college book scholarships for Norwood High School students. Also, new this year, scholarship applications will be accepted for any local Christian school grades K-12 and will be available directly to several local school financial aid offices as well as directly “on line” to any local family in need of assistance to send their kids to Christian school. Finally, we will wrap up the walking season on October 15th with the “Forget-Me-Knot” Ambassadors at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital’s, “Cincinnati Walks”. These proceeds will be given directly to StarShine Hospice which serves children (and their families) who suffer from life threatening conditions.
Thank you very much for your kind support of our mission to serve children. Our commitment remains strong as we have reached our 5th year of preserving Caleb’s memory. Any contribution you can make through this year’s “Forget-Me-Knot” letter campaign is sincerely appreciated. As always, we welcome your input regarding helping to meet future needs for kids in the community.
Please consider joining us in any of these events as you are able. Again this year, you can send a photo and post a remembrance of a loved one through the walk in memory side bar on this website.
