Go GOLD in September to support Cancer Kids!
Louis was diagnosed with Leukemia (ALL) in the summer of 2017 at 4 years old. He fought through 2 1/2 years of treatment, and today he is a healthy, happy 11 year old.
After finishing treatment, he decided he wanted to help other kids going through similar experiences, and support efforts at The Cancer and Blood Disorders Clinic in Minneapolis. In his words, "They helped me, and now I want to help them." That 1st sale he came up with a plan to make and sell magnets, keychains, and 3D printed toys. His goal was to raise $200. Well, he raised $2,000 thanks to our very generous community, family, and friends! The sale and his goals continue to grow each year. Last year his goal was $10,000, and unbelievably we did it, raising over $11,000!
This year Louis and his brother, Anthony, and a crew of amazing family and friends are making 3D prints, bracelets, dog toys, cat toys, and treats, tote bags, and his grandma added crocheted toys! The 4th annual sale will be September 28th in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. He again set an ambitious goal of raising $10,000 to donate to the Cancer Kids Fund at Children's MN through the Shine Bright campaign. If anyone can rise to the challenge, it's this kid! We're so lucky and incredibly grateful for our loving and generous community that crushes our goals year after year! Please support if you are able. If you aren't able to stop by on the 28th, you can simply donate right here!
Thank you for the continued support and love!
