2014 Annual Wacky Holiday Vendor Fair to benefit I’m A Great Child Worldwide

CARY, N.C. - Nov. 4, 2014 - PRLog -- Erin Cohen, President of National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Greater Raleigh, announced that the organization and its members will attend and support the Wacky Holiday Vendor Fair to benefit I’m A Great Child Worldwide, hosted by the Wild, Wacky, Wonderful Women of the World. The event is open to the public at free entry and will be held at Maynard Crossing on the corner of Maynard Road and High House Road with plenty of parking available. All are invited to shop from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm.

On November 8, 2014, the annual Wacky Holiday Vendor Fair will include vendors stocked with items on everyone’s holiday lists, as well as raffles, the opportunity to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, door prizes drawn hourly throughout the day, and silent auction items. The charitable organization this year is I’m a Great Child Worldwide.

Based in Cary, North Carolina, I’m A Great Child Worldwide’s program uses tools that are simple yet profoundly transformative to trigger self-motivation in children. Believing in themselves, children on their own initiative identify their challenges and change their lives. Thousands of children in schools and other organizations have already changed their view of themselves through this program. It began 13 years ago in the United States and is now taught in eight languages. On their own initiative, children improved their cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social skills. And many children shared the program with others who asked to learn.

“This year will be marked as the biggest Wacky Holiday Vendor Fair to be held,” said Cohen. “We see this as a great opportunity for the community to get involved and inevitably surround our youth with support to change their own lives.  A great way to tackle and ultimately enjoy your holiday shopping!”

“We are proud sponsors of the I'm a Great Child Worldwide through our Annual
Wacky Holiday Vendor Fair! We count it a privilege to support such a vital
organization,” said Deborah Meehan, founder of Wild, Wacky, Wonderful Women of the World.
