GREAT NEWS!!!!

During the fall of 2009, we started the 3rd Annual Angel Trinity Christmas. We chose to fund raise $6000 for the Children's Recovery Center (CRC), to help build a snoezlen room (a multi-sensory development room) for the chronically ill kids. By the end of 2009, with donations from people during the holiday season, we raised just over $3000. So exciting, but yet, only half way to our goal.

After the new year started, I came up with other ideas to help fund raise money. I work at Macaroni Grill and spoke to the management about fundraising money through the restaurant. For an entire month, we had our guests color hearts for a $1 donation towards CRC. We posted the hearts up at the restaurant to show off the beautiful artwork from our guests. We also did a "JEANS DAY" where all Macaroni Grill employee's wore their jeans to work for a donation of $5 each. In total, Macaroni Grill raise just over $1500!!!! AMAZING!!!!!

My last fundraising idea was to do a Charity Garage Sale. Throughout January and February, I collected donated items from several people. Not everyone has the money to donate, especially in this economy, but everyone has something in there home they no longer need, want, or use...and can get rid of. Hundreds of items were donated. With the help of my wonderful mother and hubby, we did a 3-day Charity Garage Sale at our home. Here's my mom helping me sort through all the itemsIt was a lot of work to organize all the donated items, but we slowly worked through everything and got the garage set upAfter 3 days of selling most everything that was donated, along with selling my mom's homemade crescent rolls (THANK YOU MOM!!!), we cleaned out the garage and took the rest of the stuff to goodwill.It's a nice feeling to park the cars back in the garageFrom all the sales we did at the 3-Day Charity Garage sale, we made just over $2000!!!! For a grand total of....drum roll please....just over $6500 raised for the Children's Recovery Center!!!

Thank you to all of you who donated money, donated time to help, and donated items to sell. There is no possible way we could have raised the money we did for CRC without all of you helping us out! Once again, Trinity's amazing legacy lives on throughout our hearts as we continue doing what we can to "Pay it Forward" and help improve the lives of the chronically ill children at CRC. I'll post up pics as the money is given to CRC, along with the stages of the snoezlen room being built.

WE LOVE YOU FOREVER, TRINITY MELINDA ADAMS!!!! YOU ARE REMEMBERED IN OUR HEARTS EVERY DAY!!!!!
