What is 52 Weeks of Giving?

My name is Heather Dexheimer and I am the owner of Simply Serenity Massage and Simply Delectable Gourmets of Westfield, Ma. I have been involved in fundraisers since I was a child and have continued to be a part of fundraisers as a business woman.  I am a 2001 Graduate from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy and have been practicing in Springfield and Westfield Ma since then!

Over the years I have done many fundraisers with the Springfield Melha Shriners, Rays of Hope and other local groups and families. I have been vice president of my daughter's elementary school PTO for the 2008-2009 school year and have helped organize many of their successful fundraisers.

Dear Heather,-

I wanted to take a moment to extend our sincere gratitude to you for reaching out to us and participating in our son, Benjamin's, fundraiser. As you know, Benjamin is a two year old identical twin with spastic cerebral palsy. Since he acquired his wheelchair, we had the need to make handicap accessible modifications to our residence.We decided that we would undertake a large fundraiser in order to raise money for some of the renovations.We were shocked, and I must admit, a bit skeptical, when you first reached out to us since most people do not donate their time as you were suggesting especially for people you do not know.--You were a welcome addition to the festivities and everyone enjoyed your involvement. ---Again, thank you for reaching out to us. Your generosity and kindness did not go unnoticed and would be recommended to anyone considering a fundraising effort.--Sept 10,2006 

My hopes in creating 52 Weeks of Giving is to continue fundraising with my business to help my community as well as get other businesses involved in helping out the community too.

52 Weeks of Giving is for those groups or individuals in Massachusetts & Western MA           who need Fundraising help, whether its an individual need or a bigger community need.  

Groups or Individuals can "sponsor" any week(s) in any month(s).

What's in it for you?   For the week(s) you sponsor I will donate 40% - 50% of massage session proceeds to your cause and 40%-50% off all gift certificate purchases for that whole month.**Massage appointments are available Monday thru Friday 10am - 8pm by appointment only and Saturdays 10am-6pm are reserved for  those redeeming Gift Certificates.**

 You will  also be able to take advantage of our Special "Supporting Businesses" that have committed to donating between 10-50% of their sales for that month as well. Simply click on their links on the Supporting Business page to learn more.              

A special Donations page has been set up for those wishing to donate a set amount of money to the sponsors.

Simply Serenity Massage will provide the handout materials and link to this website for the group to promote their week(s) to friends and families and other group members etc. 

Along with the promoting that each group will be responsible for on their own,
