Donation!!!
We recently had the pleasure of donating 24 stuffed animals to the Shriner's Hospital in Chicago. It was an honor to donate to such an amazing organization and their hospital!

Twenty-four animals ready to go...bears, puppies, kittens, bunnies, panda bears, and owls.
Packaged up and waiting for delivery.
Standing outside the hospital by the Shriner's statue.
Very proud kids carrying in their donation.

A full circle moment, as Jack was a patient at the Shriners hospital 3.5 years ago. The Shriners flew us from North Carolina to Chicago for his appointments.
Shriner's are an amazing organization, starting a hospital to provide (free of charge) medical care to children that at the time were considered outcasts in society and most of them were instiutionalized. We are grateful that the times and attitudes towards disabled children have changed, and thankful for the Shriners for being part of that change.

Busy
Lots to update on!
Thanks to Crowe Horwath for chosing us to participate in their "jeans day" program. Employees were able to donate $5 in exchange for wearing jeans to work for the day. We were thrilled to receive a $1000 check in the mail. We quickly spent half of it at Build A Bear, and along with our National Lemonade Stand money we were able to make 25 stuffed animals (cats, dogs, pandas, and even an owl) to donate to the Shriner's hospital in Chicago!
Our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year is coming up! Mark your calendars!
