This weekend was Donation Weekend!! Every year during the Holiday Season, we make our donations to Rainbow Babies Hospital and Cornerstone of Hope. We love being able to bless both of these organizations. Every year we have been able to increase our donation - through your generosity and the hard work of all those who volunteer.
This year for Rainbow it took 4 carloads to deliver our donation - 31 boxes full of more than 1,000 items! All the staff members were extremely appreciative of what we were able to provide, especially the baby items and gift cards for the teens. They were VERY excited to see a box full of Play-Doh because they were almost out. Our son Alex even got to help put some of the items away in the storeroom! 95.5 the Fish was on site because this weekend was Rainbow's annual Toy Donation day - and Willie had the pleasure of speaking to Joe about why we were there and why Rainbow had touched our lives. {Stay tuned....we will be posting a recording of the interview soon!} Then we got to visit Cornerstone of Hope for their annual Candlelight and Remembrance Ceremony and presented Mark & Christie Tripodi with a check from the Foundation. They are able to take our funds and make them go a long way in helping other kids dealing with the loss of a sibling. Thank you to each and every one of you who supported us in 2015....by attending a fundraiser, making a donation, and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for some exciting news in early 2016 - as we continue to honor our daughter's Legacy and grow her foundation to touch many more lives. Here are a few pictures from this weekend....be sure to visit our Photos page for more!
