Spoonies! Chronic Illness and out of state supporters (we are currently only able to process this for US residents only- we apologize to our global community) , we LOVE you!
We fully understand it is just not possible to have the spoons for traveling in this current world. It is hard enough to keep up with standard life requirement, this digital event is made especially for YOU!
Your support is valid and we love it so much! We have always wanted to offer more inclusive options to our fundraisers as we understand our headquarters, while in the largest county in Illinois, is still in the middle of nowhere for most people.
So,
Welcome to the Digital Event Page for ECIOG Puff and Create Fundraisers!

New Kind of Fundraiser
‘That Just Don’t Make No Sense.”
We are a 501(c)3 not for profit and all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. **
**Anything above the membership cost can be applied this way, the IRS doesn’t like it when donors receive items in exchange for their donations and it gets complicated really quickly. Please check with a certified tax professional for actual tax law. We are not a professional tax service.
This is an all new kind of fundraiser for us and we have tried to make it as absolutely cheap as possible so it is open to as many people as possible with new perks still being added. Our goal is not to make a big profit on these events, we are hoping to expand our community to reach more survivors and caregivers. Our annual benefit auction (held online every September) and our cancer protest store are focused on raising funds for our programs and services. If this membership seems too low or the maths isn’t adding up for shipping being $10 plus a $5 store credit, plus a 10%-40% off store coupon, plus the goodie bags with handmade art and projects, you are not wrong. It does not add up, it is way below what it should be, but how can we reach people without taking that hit? If it does not sit well with you, we very, very welcome to purchase from our cancer protest store, share our projects and services so we can get more applicants, vendors and community members, or donate directly to our nonprofit by becoming a sponsor of this event. See Below for more Info! We would LOVE to have your support! Seriously, we will welcome it gladly ♥️
Full Disclosure:
Currently this event’s needs are sponsored by our president and the supplies we use for our art projects are her personal supplies.
Goodie Bags??
Jetty, here-
I am a bit obsessed with creating fun and exciting event baskets and goodie bags.
Every event will come with a themed goodie bag, it will include a handmade quarterly charm (bracelet in first order), coupons and discounts for our sponsors, a new monthly sticker design, event collectible backing cards, plus any themed party items.
Sponsors Are Coming Aboard Everyday!
We are so shocked by the amazing showing of support from our community and from our sponsors, we need a whole page just to show proper thanks. Please see our Sponsor Page for all our amazing donations and support. Please note there will be galleries and coupon codes that will ONLY be displayed with membership including a 30% off coupon for Ardent- the Adult Easy Bake Oven- the set it and forget it dream!
Event Baskets?
Event baskets will range from full themed baskets like our annual benefit to small random wrapped surprise door prizes (at least 5 given out every event).
Members are entered in all baskets and goodie bags are included with project choice.***
***Please note:
shipping will need to be paid for any won prizes as this cannot be added to the membership fee.
Interested in Sponsoring or Donating to Our Event?
The absolute best part about being a charity that is open to all art, is that it means our themes for our Puff and Create are incredibly varied and we can accept every type of art or craft supply, and our Art Supply Swap is our way to have this at the actual event, however, if interested in sponsoring a section of our Puff & Create, some possible areas are snacks and drinks, tool and supplies for staples, themed project supplies, shipping, goodie bag items or costs, decorating, cleaning and after event costs, Vendor sale, Art Supply Swap, etc.
We will welcome coupons for our goodie bags or online codes for stores, mini marketing items, art donations, as well as items for our door prizes and raffles. We will gladly provide a tax letter from the fair market value of any sponsorship or donation upon request.

Art Supply Swap
Donations of art and supplies can be made at the attached Art Supply Swap. This Swap will be 100% free for attendees, please understand there will be no money exchanged for used art supplies. This is a way for people with art ADHD to keep the art being made through other art ADHD artists. This can be everything from partially used paints, crayons, pencils, markers, to left over project supplies. These can also be donated directly to the Puff and Create future events as well.
