In honor of us recently sending out our October batch of superhero character building activity boxes to Comers Children's Hospital in Hyde Park, we wanted to say THANK YOU (again) to our friends Fall Out Boy for their generosity.

It is an absolute honor that they have found value in what we do and have allowed us to reach so many young minds.

Thank you for your support, Fall Out Boy!

We could use your help!

Join us in bringing Superhero Character Building Activity Boxes to children's hospitals in Illinois and Tennessee 🥳 We will even be adding more locations & more states in the coming months!

We are transitioning from our monthly Facebook fundraiser into a single fundraiser for the remainder of 2024. Keeping our goal at donating (20) Superhero Character Building Activity Boxes per month for the rest of the year, our total goal to raise is $5,000 - all funds from this specific fundraiser will go directly to fulfilling our Superhero Character Building Boxes donated to children's hospitals.

We will post progress reports - as you can see right now we have just $175 out of our $5,000 goal. You can help us reach our goal (🤞 we exceed it) with a one time donation OR a monthly recurring donation! Yep, we finally found a way to set up recurring donations for those who have asked!

Check it out on Zeffy 👉 https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/fundraising/98a8a10a-f05a-45b2-8a4a-ac6742f6bf36?fbclid=IwY2xjawFyrcpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHTaZxfbPJq6JWSUkb4gAX2LharR4uh24iRpbsA0KS4fCk4HlgUzwRVjNwQ_aem_zD6I_wJmv456nLE2XVLSdA

Shout out to Belmont University for their amazing volunteers! We got to share our mission, our project to donate our Superhero Character Building activity boxes to children's hospitals. They took time out of their day to spend an hour with us to autograph greeting cards from one of the characters which go into the activity box! A sticker goes into each card and it's sealed with a Superhero sticker which then goes into the box.

This is such a huge help to us and we are forever grateful to each and every one of the volunteers who came out to support our cause!
