The fine folks at Downy have teamed up with Quilts for Kids, providing us with an incredible fund-raising opportunity. Log on to the Downy website and share a picture of your family's brightest moments and you'll help to brighten the moments of children in need. Downy will donate $1 to Quilts for Kids for every picture uploaded for inclusion on the Downy Family Quilt. Their goal is a complete quilt with 20,000 pictures. If we fill the quilt, Downy will provide an ADDITIONAL $5000 donation--for a total of $25,000. Just think of all the moments we can brighten with that kind of support. Remember, we need your help. Upload your photo today at Downy.com . Oh, don't forget, quilts need to be soft and fresh for optimum cuddling. So, please show Downy that you appreciate their support for our mission of caring the next time you're at the store. |

The stars of Broadway, and particularly our friends at Wicked, have long been big supporters of our mission of caring. The first benefit event, Broadway Unplugged, was a huge success--an evening of show-stopping, star-studded fun that raised a lot of money for our cause. In Fall of 2005, Broadway's top stars again gathered for the Broadway Benefit for Hurricane Victims. Another incredible evening of performance again raised much-needed funds for hurricane relief efforts of Quilts for Kids and America's Second Harvest. Now, it's time to raise the curtain again...... Broadway's Acoustic Soul--May 15, 2006 Broadway's hottest performers put a contemporary spin on classics from the Great White Way. This special evening is being hosted by the Broadway cast of WICKED. Produced and Directed By Anthony Galde and Schele Williams. |

We're so pleased to announce that Sina Pearson Textiles has now produced a brand-new Crypton Fabric collection, called "Good Wishes." The line includes 2 fabrics, "Wish" and "Good Things." Both fabrics were created from original children's drawings of what they considered "good things." The designs abound with child-like expressions of joy and love--and pizza, ice cream, and vacation. These patterns are perfect for healthcare, institutional and even kids' rooms at home where high performance fabrics are required. The fabrics, made with Crypton® technology, are moisture-retardant, anti-microbial, washable and durable. In addition to bringing greater awareness of the works of Quilts for Kids, a portion of the proceeds of all sales of this collection will benefit Quilts for Kids. Our hope is to have the waiting rooms of the children's hospitals have our fabric upholstered on the furniture. The children waiting will have something fun and whimsical to look at while waiting for everything from an appointment to chemotherapy. Visit Sina Pearson's website today for more information. |
