Chicago Fundraiser

Two Little Monkeys ( www.twolittlemonkeys.org ) will be holding our Second Annual Fundraiser April 30th in Chicago. We would love for anyone in and/or around Chicago to attend!

This event, which includes our Silent Auction, is our primary fundraising event. Last year, with over 150 people in attendance, our T-shirt sale and Silent Auction items raised over $10,000 for the BP Team at the Philadelphia Shriners Hospital. We hope to build on this success in 2009.

This year's event will have great food, cheap drinks, live music, new T-shirts and the Silent Auction. Please help us give back to Shriners Hospital for the exceptional care they have provided our daughter Ally and so many other children who suffer from this injury.

If you cannot attend, please consider purchasing a T-shirt from our website or a donation (we are a 501(c)(3) organization).

Please visit our website for more information about the event.

Thank you!

There is no cost to attend the event.

Instead, we hope that people will buy shirts, participate in the Silent Auction or consider a small donation.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

See you there. Sounds like the donations are more in need than ever to Shriners.

We live to far to attend, wish we could be there. Good luck with your efforts, I'll be sure to order a shirt. They do great work there at Shriners, my son has improved so much since his ACR surgery in October, just amazing.

Thank you, Meredith. I am so glad to hear that Kaiden is doing well post-ACR. And I hope his recovery is far from over, Ally seems to improve daily still!

Tanya -

Thank you so much for asking!

The event was outstanding. We were honored to have Dr. Scott Kozin, his wife, his two nurses Linda and Maureen, two OT's Danielle and Sarah and Terry Diamond fly in from Philly for the evening. Our guests were thrilled to meet them and were greatly impressed by their support for and dedication to both our organization and Shriners Hospitals. Ken Levine also attended and made two wonderfully generous contributions to our Silent Auction. He was a big hit with all the Bears fans! We sold over 130 Two Little Monkeys shirts (we introduced some really awesome new designs/shirts - they are not yet on the website but will be very soon...) and did very well on the Silent Auction. I think a great time was had by all.

I will soon be posting more information about the event along with photos so please be sure to check out the website soon ( www.twolittlemonkeys.org ).

Thanks again for asking, that is really thoughtful of you.

Andrea
