Hailey's Hope Updates

I have some exciting news to share about Hailey's Hope.

First, if you remember from awhile back, I've been hoping to serve not only in AL but also in TN since we've moved. I'm happy to report that things are moving forward with Hailey's Hope being able to donate to Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. I'm currently working to fill at least 20 basic NICU bags to donate to their NICU some time during the month of March.

Second, as many of you already know, we are a project of Project Sweet Peas, and last fall we received our official non-profit status. For several months now we've been waiting to receive our official tax-exempt status, and I'm thrilled to share with you that our paperwork finally went through, and we have it! It will be back dated to September 14, 2010. This means that all donations are now tax deductible. Everyone who donates to Hailey's Hope in 2011 will receive a receipt; however, if you donated between September 14, 2010 and December 31, 2010 and would like a receipt, please contact me to request one (Kristin@projectsweetpeas.com). So Hailey's Hope with Project Sweet Peas is now officially a non-profit organization with our 501c3 tax exempt status!! I'm hoping this will mean even greater things for our project, allowing us to serve the NICUs in greater ways.

Third, our Flowers of Hope fundraiser is almost halfway through, and we're about halfway to our goal of raising $500!  I'd like to remind everyone that this fundraiser involves Hailey's Hope partnering with Flower Power Fundraising to sell flower bulbs for you to plant this spring; Hailey's Hope receives 50% of all sales. Purchasing and supporting Hailey's Hope is easy through this fundraiser! All you need to do is go to our webpage here: http://www.flowerpowerfundraising.com/campaign?campaign_id=4349 and shop now! All orders must be placed by April 15th at the latest to ensure you have your flowers in time for spring planting.  Please please please consider helping Hailey's Hope and purchasing some flower bulbs! Do you need another reason to participate in our fundraiser? These flower bulbs would make wonderful Mother's Day gifts! :)

I'm so looking forward to what's in store for Hailey's Hope this year and how much more we'll be able to give to the NICUs at The Children's Hopsital of Alabama and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Tennessee. But of course, nothing will be possible without our generous supporters and spreading awareness of our project so we can grow to have more and more support!
