Event Update

The weather cooperated enough here in Nebraska to allow for a beautiful weekend event sharing at TLC Country Floral Spring Open House in Hooper, NE at our good friends, Auntie Sue's and Ken Fase's gorgeous garden acreage!  Not only are we thankful to them, but also for their busy bee workers, our family from Iowa, some True Buddies and of course, Grandma J!

Emily and Taylor-Jo had painted plaster of paris molds that their daddy made, and added some special coloring to some sun catchers as well to sell to raise money for Little Giants.  Between those and the raffle of some cute themed blankets with activities that Kathy Mann's mom made & Sue's book, Treasures of the Seasons we made a little over $500 for research for our children with SIOD! AND handed out A LOT of dum-dums with Emily's Little Giant cards to spread awareness!

We look forward to Ken and Sue's Fall Open House in September where we will be back at it again!

Jays for Hope Event 2015

The Little Giants Foundation was honored to be part of the JAYS FOR HOPE event at Ashland-Greenwood High School's home basketball games vs Raymond-Central.  Awareness and monies were raised to help find a cure for cancers, and CureSearch for Childhood Cancers where Sadie Livers was the memorial recipient, and The Little Giants Foundation where Emily was the honored recipient.  Sadie's mother, Teresa along with Emily and myself were given donations between the girls and boys games literally surrounded in the middle of the gym floor by the players from both teams in a large circle around the court and the fans in the bleachers.  AMAZING.  THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to last night's event!
