I am thankful for you. Without you we would not have raised over $3000 for Christmas Crazy. Lots of Pittsburgh kids will be waking up Christmas morning to presents. Some of them may know they came from the kindness of strangers and some will believe they came from Santa. What’s the difference really?
Our next mission is thus: You, Me, We will be raising significantly more than $3k. This time the goal is $10K and I honestly see no reason why we won’t meet or exceed this goal because we are Pittsburgh and it’s for the kids. Skip your afternoon coffee one day and throw in $5. Head on down to Las Velas on Saturday and get your drink on. Buy a WearPittsburgh t-shirt. Read here for more details.
The Mario Lemieux Foundation is involved and now Ikea-Pittsburgh has offered to donate the furniture, design, and assembly of the room. More awesome Pittsburghers contributing.
We all know how wonderful The Children’s Hospital is here. Families from all over bring their children here because it’s one of the few places that can treat them. Not only will our kids benefit from this room, but kids from all over will get a chance to be kids.
Some back story: A few months ago we were all voting for The Children’s Hospital of UPMC to win a Microsoft Game Room. Can you imagine how fantastic it would be to play some video games for a few hours when your used to being stuck in bed because you’re sick. Unfortunately Pittsburgh did not win, but I am certain that the kids in the Children’s Hospitals that did win will full appreciate this room.
