Our Next Delivery and Momentum is Building!!

Word is spreading and we are so thankful for all of our friends, family, and Facebook fans for getting the word out!!! We were blessed enough to be directed to Mimi Viega at The Running Zone who is also going to be getting the word out via their database! Thank you!!!  I encourage you all to join The Running Zone's Facebook Page to thank them for their support!  Also if you use athletic shoes, stop into their store  at 8470 Elk Grove Blvd., you will be glad you did! The Running Zone is a Fabric Drop off Zone!!!  Anyone who wants to donate Fabric, Fabric Store Gift Cards or Monetary donations made to Cases For Cheer, Inc. can either mail them to us or drop them off locally at The Running Zone!  Thank You Mimi!!!

We will be making our next delivery next week!  We are very excited to get this going again!  Patty Robinson at UC Davis is glad to have us back!!!  We will be taking 20 cases to the infusion center, and will update you once that occurs!

We are still in need of material in order to keep us going!  Donations of material are always needed, the specifications of the material needed are listed under the "How You Can Help" page. Also we can use monetary donations for materials also.  We understand that in these tough economic times, giving is very hard, and a true sacrifice.  Did you know that for $7.00 you can donate a pillowcase? Just seven dollars!  That is the cost of a lunch out (maybe).  Please consider donating the cost of a case, or as many cases as you like to help us give cheer to people fighting this terrible disease, and let them know people who don't even know who they are care!

Also we are adding pages to our blog.  They will be "In Honor Of" and "In Memory Of"  If you donate in honor of someone fighting cancer, or in memory of someone who has passed, their names (and date of passing if you wish) will be listed on these walls.

300 Hits and a Huge: Thank You!!!

Thank you everyone for spreading the word about Cases for Cheer!!!  We have now had 300 hits on our site!  Woo hoo!!!  This is very important as we are indeed in the process of working towards getting more cases made for our May delivery!  Madison is just thrilled at the outpouring of support and will be posting herself soon. 

Please keep spreading the word as hopefully as the word spreads people will help us get the funds to make cases and grow! There is no donation too small.  We know that in these economic times, giving is very hard and such a selfless act that we cannot help be overwhelmed by everyone's support.

Let's see if we can get to 400 hits by the end of the week!!!  Woo Hoo!!!

WE GOT IT!!!!

Hallelujah!!! We are thrilled to announce that we received word today that our Cases for Cheer, Inc. has finally been approved for an IRS 501 (c) (3) tax exempt corporation! That means all donations we accept will be tax deductible for you!!! We will be posting later to fill you in on our needs and what donations we will be needing! Thank you for your continued patience and following!!!

Praise God, we will be able to get this thing off the ground and honor Aunt Willie as was and is Madison's intent!

Catching up!

This has been a crazy ride! We are still in the process of getting our Non-Profit status from the IRS which would allow us to take tax deductible donations. So, until that comes through, we are in a holding pattern. This has been trying but it will be so worth it once we get the go ahead!!! We are currently working with UC Davis Cancer Center and hope to resume taking cases there soon. We hope to add on the Sutter Cancer Center, once we get the ball rolling and more cases made! Stay tuned!!!
