I am very excited! We are working to plan our first big fundraising event- a Halloween party! We don't have much time so I have spent Landon's nap making calls and researching. It will probably be held on a Friday evening in October. An announcement will go out as soon as we have a place and date. If you, or someone you know, is able to donate or give a discount on things that we will need such as catering, dj, baskets to raffle etc.. Please let me know by e-mail at LaurenLHartz@gmail.com, by phone or on Facebook.
The Cystinosis Cause Bracelets were a big hit! If you are interested in purchasing one, $5 of the proceeds will be donated to the Cystinosis Research Foundation. You can find them at www.cathyscreationsjewelry.com. The bracelet is named after Landon.
A group of kids on our street had a lemonade stand and donated all of their proceeds to Landon. I had to hold back tears when they approached us at the park and gave us the money!!
Other friends and family members have been doing their own work to organize events and fundraisers. It is unbelieveable how much support we have! I feel like we are approached with one awesome idea or another- some we don't even know are happening until it's over. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate all of this and how we blessed we feel to have all of you in our lives!
