Dear Friends,

 

The tag on each Adams Animal  reads, “May this stuffed friend bring you a giggle and a smile”.  Today that is just what happened!  Thanks to your generosity, we delivered 4,276 wonderful new stuffed animals to area hospitals and children’s hospice organizations.  Children’s eyes lit up as they reached for a cuddly teddy bear, doggie or maybe a frog!  Parents, as parents do everywhere, quietly said, “What do you say?”, and sweet little voices said, “Thank you” to each of you for all you do to make this day possible.

 

Thank you to each of you who donated special animals, money with which to buy animals, and your time to tie tags on so many wonderful furry friends.  Thank you to companies and organizations who donated, and allowed and encouraged their employees and members to collect animals to allow us to reach so many children.  Thank you to schools, churches and youth organizations who selflessly donated to help comfort a sick child.  

 

Thank you to Party City for helping to provide the balloons tied to animals.  Thank you to Rodeo Ford and Huffines Chevrolet for providing the vehicles used to deliver the animals. Without all of you this day could never happen. 

 

As we left the hospitals today, hugged by nurses, doctors and staff who will use the animals throughout the year, once again, we knew that we had made a small difference.  All of you have done something wonderful in Adam’s memory, and for that, we thank you.

 

God Bless

We started the day by filling vans, on loan from Middlekauff Ford, with balloons, donated by Party City, and the wonderful stuffed animals that you made possible. At Medical City Children’s Hospital we delivered to sixty beautiful children. Then the relay began as nurses rolled crib after crib out onto the delivery dock and we packed them full of bag after bag of animals that they will use throughout the year.

At Medical Center of Plano we were met by staff and representatives from Pediatrics who helped unload bags of animals and told us how much

Each of you who so generously donate animals or money allow us to reach more children. You all have a special place in our hearts. This year many organizations and businesses also helped to make our delivery possible. We so appreciate the donations and help of Harley Davidson Financial; Collin Theatre; Disciples Christian Church, Plano; Haggard Middle School, Plano; Shepton Theatre Dept, Plano; Mohawk School, Richardson; Aldridge Elementary, Plano; ORDA Corp, Dallas; Carriage House Quilts, Plano; Mortgage Texas; Plano Sr. High and feeder schools; Faith United Methodist Church, Ft Worth; Northway Christian Church, Dallas; Arapaho Magnet School, Richardson; Dawn’s Dance, McKinney; Girl Scout Troop 1384; Network for Good (Yahoo); and the wonderful area Disney stores and cast members. Thank you to Imprenta for donating tags. And a special thank you to all who helped us tie
