For Parents Only

Hello Parents,

Although the Kidz-n-Biz Project is free for your children, we still raise funds to help towards the prizes we offer during the project and towards the grand prizes at the end of the project.

One of the ways we raise funds is through an online rewards mall I own. It's pretty similar to other malls you see online except we provide a way for the shoppers to earn rewards points and consider the option of contributing their rewards points to Kidz-n-Biz.

I want to encourage you to take a peek. There is no cost to join and you only buy the items you would normally buy at the same merchants you normally buy from. The only difference is that now you will be able to help the Kidz-n-Biz project.

Thanks for consideration,

Pastor Ced
Entrepreneurial Pastor



After you sign up, it's pretty simple.


1. Buy what you would normally buy online


2. Receive reward points (each pt = $1.00)


3. Convert rewards points to dollars


4. Contribute to Kidz-n-Biz via CentrePoint Christian Fellowship.

The 2009 Kidz-n-Biz Project starts Wednesday July 8, 2009

Who would have ever thought that kids would have their own mall. Well it's sort of a mall. This summer kids from 3rd - 9th grade are being trained on how to do business. There is an outdoor classroom setting for 8 weeks and the application of what the kids learn in class will be put into practice in the court yard of Papa Chinos Grill and Greens located at 14501 Ramona Avenue Chino, CA, hence the Kidz-n-Biz Mall.

Some of last years businesses represented offered homemade doggy treats, handmade jewelery, shaved ice, popcorn and there was even an author among the kidz who was working on publishing his own book. In 2008 there were 18 kidz in the project who participated as business owners or team members. Each business owner and their teams promoted their businesses on their own and tried to get as many people to show up at the mall each week as possible. For each person who showed up with a certain invitation ticket or flyer with a particular kid'z name on it, the business owner received 100 points. This year the same 100 points will apply for those who show up at the mall. It's the malls way of generating traffic for the Kidz-n-Biz Owners.

Although the Kidz-n-Biz project starts Wednesday July 8th, the Kidz-n-Biz Mall Opens Wednesday July 22, 2009. It will be open from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm. Local residents are encouraged to attend.

The project also has some great incentives for the kidz. During the 8 weeks the participating kidz will be receiving points for various activities and the Grand prize winner will receive $500, the second place winner will receive $300 and the third place winner will receive $200.

One of the ways the project is raising funds is receiving donations for Kidz-n-Biz T-shirts. Suggested Donation is $10.00 per T-Shirt. Local business owners are also contributing in kind gifts and cash. Sponsors are still being sought for all size donations.
