I am so excited that I get to go to Ronald McDonald House in Chapel Hill - it has been five months since I was last able to stamp with the families there and I have missed it!
Were you aware the Stampin' Up! is a global sponsor of Ronald McDonald House charities?
Stampin' Up! is partnering with Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC) to bring comfort and creativity to the lives of Ronald McDonald House guests. Each year, thousands of families stay at more than 160 independently operated Ronald McDonald Houses in North America. These Houses serve as temporary homes for the families of seriously ill children who are being treated in nearby hospitals.
We are pleased and honored to be a GLOBAL sponsor of RMHC. Together, these two caring, helping organizations will create a powerful environment in which House guests will be able to enjoy creative expression in the comfort of their "home-away-from-home."
As part of our commitment to support this organization, Stampin' Up! will:
- Make an annual contribution to RMHC.
- Design an exclusive stamp set each year; $3 from each sale of that set will be donated to the organization. This year's set is Flamingo Lingo
- Donate items created by our demonstrators to Houses in the cities where we host events.
- Facilitate a program through which demonstrators can make a caring contribution and organize volunteer activities at Ronald McDonald Houses.
I have learned in the past five years as a house volunteer that the best card ideas are the ones that the young children (brothers and sisters of children in the hospital) LOVE to punch their hearts out so this month I designed a card that does just that:
This is a fun 3x3 gift card that will take just minutes to make but is guaranteed to make someone specil (or ill) smile.
Ronald McDonald Houses all over the world depend on support from volunteers just like us. Why not contact your local Ronald McDonald House and see how you can help?
