I just hit $10,000 to fight kids' cancer! Thank you so much for your support.
Back in 2016 I took it upon myself to raise a little money ($1517.59) in honor of a littler boy who made an impression on me, That Boy was Sammy LeMar
He was the son of an old high school buddy who unfortunately had been diagnosed with cancer. I had helped out with a make a Wish project for Sammy and his family by framing a sport jersey for the room that they were creating in their basement for the entire family to spend time together. I had done things like this in the past for other causes over the years because as a business owner you get hit up all of the time, but this was different....Sammy and his family actually came in to my store to say thank you..I am sure it wasn't an easy trip, Sammy was in a wheelchair and I am sure he wasn't feeling well, but he came in to say Thanks, and it wasn't a Mom and Dad are making me say this type thing, this stuck with me...(side note, you would not believe how many times a business donates to causes and never hears anything afterwards, think about that next time you are asking)
Fast forward to today, 11 years later, All I can say is that YOU ALL have made an impression on me....After matching funds, YOU raised $8652.23 in just one day!!! All I can say is that YOU ALL are SUPER HEROES!! This morning I am kinda speechless, all I can really say is THANK YOU soooo much...
I say Super Heroes because Sammy loved his Super Heroes. One of Sammy's Doctors wrote a Blog post about Sammy and Super Heroes, if you have a few minutes take a look to learn about Sammy and how other kids battling Cancer are just like some of the Super Heroes we all know. http://eyesteve.com/cancer-superhero/
