Seasons of Giving

As a yearly tradition, the elementary students at Chets Creek Elementary (my old school!) have a Seasons of Giving auction at the beginning of December.  Each class makes something to auction off for a charity they choose.  Many of the classes this year chose to auction off an item to benefit Promise to Kate Foundation so I wanted to join in!  I bought an unfinished wooden advent calendar and painted it holiday colors.

Here it is on the auction table.  I hope it helps raise some money for my platform, Promise to Kate.

Coloring Book Drive

Knowing my sweet little friend Kate and doing fundraiser work with Children's Miracle Network inspired me to do something special for the kids at Wolfson Children's Hospital.  I called the Child Life department and got the suggestion of collecting coloring books for the kids.  I set up collection boxes at Chets Creek Elementary and am asking friends and family to help me put smiles on the faces of sick kids.

I asked the people at Wolfson if they would like me to bring the coloring books during the holidays but they asked me to come the first week of January because they get so many visitors in the month of December that January ends up being slow. This will be a nice New Year's treat for sick kids!

Please help if you can!

Wagon Parade

I had such a wonderful time at the Children's Miracle Network Wagon parade that was put on by the Wolfson Children's Hospital. It was so fun to pull little Kate around in the Minnie Mouse theme wagon my mom and I decorated for her. You never realize how blessed you are as a person until you see kids that are struggling just to make it through each day. I know all the kids had such a great time as I did myself.  It was fun walking around and waving and giving those children a chance to do something special and to raise awareness for Wolfson and all the wonderful services they provide.
