Chemo Caps 4 Kids Fundraiser: Local Wareham Weekly paper write-up

Thank you to the editor of the Wareham Weekly free newspaper, Jaime Rebhan for helping me spread the word about this event.

Welcome

Welcome to Caps 4 Kids Fundraising Event.
This event was created in August of 2011. I was reading an obituary in the local newspaper about an eight year old girl who lost her courageous battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Little Hailey-Jean inspired me to put together this event to help financially assist local families with children affected by cancer through the Kids Kickin Cancer Foundation.

The caps are also a great way for kids to feel comfortable and warm. Plus they receive something made from the heart during this difficult time in their lives. Even more, the community is getting involved to help make a difference.

Thank you for stopping by. I will continue to collect chemo caps for kids throughout the year to reach the new goal of 2,000 caps! Once that goal is met I will continue to collect caps as long as I have people willing to make them and donate them. Caps are personally delivered by me or by a volunteer to Children's Hospital in Boston, MA.
