This tip was sent from Aracely, creator of the fabulous blog, Daytippingmom.com.  Make sure to check her blog for lots of fun ideas on things to do with your kids this summer!  She writes…

“If you are looking for something fun to do with the kiddos this summer make sure to save room in your calendar for AMC Theaters Summer MovieCamp. Every Wednesday morning from June 17th to August 5th at 10am, local AMC Movie Theaters will offer great kids movies for $1.00. The best part is that not only will your kiddos be able to enjoy a fun movie at the theater- you will also be helping a great cause. All admission and concession proceeds from the summer movie camp series will benefit Variety – The Children’s Charity and the Will Rogers Institute. 

The AMC Summer Movie Camp is seriously fun and benefits two great causes. I hope you can all take advantage of this great program. Here is a list of the movies that will be featured:

We LOVE Pediped shoes! They are so perfect for little cuties just learning to walk.  Now through June 26th, you can shop select styles, save 30-50% off, and 50% of all sales will be donated to the Make-a-Wish Foundation.  Isn’t that fabulous?!  So, stock up on these cute shoes and make a purchase with a purpose! 

Paul F. Gero Photography is searching for OC kids to be a part of a special coffee table art book called “The Kids of Orange County, 2009.”    100% of the session fee ($100 per family) will go directly to CHOC Children’s Foundation.  Paul’s goal is to photograph 200 families and raise $20,000 to benefit this wonderful organization.  Last year’s book raised $11,300, so I hope Tiny Oranges families can help him reach his goal!  Click here to see some of the breathtaking images from last year’s book.

What a special way to include your beautiful children in such a meaningful project and see firsthand how brilliantly Paul captures the essence of your child’s personality and beauty. 

Call 949.388.5588 or email paul@paulfgero.com to book your session.

***Please pass this on to all your friends, I want to support this project because I think it is really a beautiful way to unite Orange County children for such a great cause!***
