A Special Thanks!

We have just realized that one of our first donors has yet to be formally thanked by us! Widby Labels out of Tennessee heard about Cases For Cheer, Inc. through the power of the internet! At the time they heard about us, they jumped to get involved!

Don Widby of Widby Labels created and donated the labels which are now sewn with love into each pillowcase reminding the recipient that people out there care as well as sharing the memory of our Aunt Willie.

We know many of you out there sew and we just really wanted to share Mr. Widby's generosity. When looking to get labels made for your projects please check out Widby Labels and support a company that supports Cases For Cheer!

July Sewing Class

Come one, come all volunteers to sew! Cases For Cheer, Inc. is holding another sewing class/circle to get some pillowcases made! Fabric kits will be provided, please bring your own machine and tools if possible (we have two spares if not). We look forward to meeting those who are new, and hopefully seeing some familiar faces as well!

Thank you all so much for your help in making Cases For Cheer, Inc. possible, from the thought of a child, to a reality benefiting now hundreds of cancer patients!

God Bless!

We Couldn't Have Done It Without...

Please check out our newest page! This page highlights the local businesses which have been so important in helping us get the word out, increase our sewing circle, publicize and highlighting Cases! Thank you so much! Please check out this page, and when you need anything, help support those that have supported us! Woo Hoo!!!

HUGE Thank YOU!!!

We want to thank everyone who donated to make our yard sale a success!!! We were able to raise the funds to purchase more fabric! Woo Hoo!!! All items not sold were donated to the American Cancer Society Thrift Store in Elk Grove! We figured it was the most appropriate place to help those with cancer!

Also we made our June delivery and were able to take 40 pillowcases this month!!! That is double our previous deliveries and we hope to make 50 next month!!! We split it up to donate 20 to both the adult and pediatric cancer centers. If we can get our cases finished we can make it 25!

Any seamstresses interested in volunteering their skills are welcome to join us! Just send us an email or give us a call!

UC Davis Survivors Picnic

What a wonderful event!!! UC Davis Cancer Center holds a survivor's picnic every year. This year CFC was invited to come to lunch and host a table where we were able to share CFC with the patients and staff!!! How exciting!!! Becky Garrett and her friend were our spokeswomen for this event and made some very exciting connections!!!

We were very happy to hear that patients understood what we were trying to accomplish with Madison's vision and they really believed that these cases can make a difference in the spirits of those fighting cancer. We are thrilled!!!

CFC was invited to join a health fair in September, more details to follow, and also a local media personality took an interest and we hope to announce soon an interview and opportunity to share CFC with the viewers!

We want to thank Patti Robinson with UC Davis for inviting us to join the picnic, and allowing us to share CFC.

Fox 40's Morning Show Spreads the Word! Thank you Annalee!

A Letter From Maddie

Dear Visitors and Volunteers ,

This is a personal letter from me Maddie.Welcome to my web page  if you haven't already visited.I loved my Aunt Willie so much. Thank you mom(Jenny), Aunt Sarah, Grandma Gail, Patti Robinson, Becky Garrett, my grandma's friends, my mom's friends, my Nana's friends, and people I don't even know. You are so amazing. I had an idea and you helped me make it come true. Thanks every body.

                                                                                                                       Love, Maddie 

Elk Grove Citizen Interview!

Yesterday Madison, was interviewed by Katie Freeman a reporter with our local newspaper, the Elk Grove Citizen!  Maddie was so nervous she told me after the interview, but to be honest, I didn't even noticed, she was cool, calm and collected.  She said she just wanted to get the news out there about CFC so we can expand!  Normally, I don't toot my own horn.... or in this case her own horn, but I am soooo proud of her! She exceeded my expectations and everything she said came from her heart we did no coaching or preparing, so we are hoping for a stellar article with all of Madison's heart woven through it.

You can pick on up at the Elk Grove Citizen Office, or at local stores that carry them for 35 cents!  They will be coming out this Friday on May 21st!!!  Hopefully they will also post it online for those of you who are not local.  Anyone out of town can contact us and we will try to get you a copy!

Testimonials

Please take a look at our newest page. You will see our pages listed to the right.  Testimonials is our newest page and we will be including correspondence with permission from those who wrote us, to share the difference Cases For Cheer, Inc. is making in the lives of those that have cancer.  Please take the time to read the letters from Nancy Lewis, an RN Charge Nurse at the UCDMC pediatric infusion center. You will see that your donations really do make a difference in the life of a child and of a patient at the UC Davis Medical Centers pediatric and adult infusion centers.

Check Out Our New Logo!

We were fortunate enough to have Mary Winter at Winter Advertising Agency create a logo for us!  Mary was awesome and took some of Madison's ideas and ran with it!  We are pleased to unveil this logo! 

If you have any needs for graphic design and advertising please support Winter Ad Agency for supporting Cases For Cheer!  Winter Ad Agency where design means business!!!

Coming to a Television Near You!!!

Hello everyone!  We just got word that Madison will be doing two interviews!  One for a local newspaper and one for a local morning television news show!  Woo Hoo!!!  We surely hope this will help us get the word out and grow our organization!!!  We will definitely let you know when both happen and when you can catch them on your tv, and in the paper!

We couldn't have gotten this far with the help and support of our family, friends, and the volunteers and those who have taken up our cause to help us!  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for getting us going!  Please keep spreading the word so that we may keep up the growth and get those cases flowing out to the cancer centers for the patients who need to be cheered on in the fight for their lives.

God Bless.
