Welcome to our first official Holiday Event! Our goal is to receive 1,000 new, tagged stuffed animals before Christmas Eve for the MAYO hospital. Do you think we can do it? I sure do! Scroll down to see a status report on our goal.

Do you want to bring comfort to children and teens staying at the MAYO hospital who really need a genuine pick-me-up? I know I needed the stuffed animals I received during my stay at the MAYO hospital, and I know that other children (and even teens who think they don't need stuffed animals) need stuffed animals too, no matter gender or age.

This is how you can help: Send adorable (not dollar-store-quality) stuffed animals to the address on the contact page or send a check (contact me if you want to give a tax refundable check!). Remember that MAYO policy is that all stuffed animals must be new, so send your stuffed animals with tags! All of your gifts will be used to support kids and teens. Your donation really helps!
