OK guys - Here's our next big event!

Emily is sister of Jude. Jude had a stroke while he will still in his mothers womb and now has many ailments that take him in and out of the hospital.
You can read Jennifer's Blog (Jude & Emily's mom) here:
http://cjengo.blogspot.com/

Anyway, after many, many trips to the hospital, Emily came up with this idea of making up boxes of activities for the kids that are either patients or siblings of patients to have something to do while they are at the hospital.

I have been corresponding with Jennifer and am working with her to bring her Smile Boxes to IL.
It is Emily's goal to provide her hospital with 150 smile boxes at Christmas, and I would like to take up her challenge and do the same here in Peoria for OSF Children's Hospital where Central IL children are treated for cancer.

I think we can meet her/my goal of donating the same amount of boxes she does and am hoping you all will help me out with this.

Over the next few months, we will be asking you to provide items for these boxes. It cannot be anything with a choking hazzard and we want to put in lots of smiles!!
We can do this a couple of ways, either by donations, or by simply having you bring something with you to the pageants.
Then, as we get closer to the holidays, we will have a box packing party and everyone will be invited to help us fill the boxes just in time to be delivered for Christmas.
Imagine how happy it would make a child spending Christmas in the hospital if they got one of Emily's Smile Boxes!

I hope you will all join me in helping Emily make a difference.

Miss Joyce
