Does that count?

Thanks for all of the support for this project.

If you think we are holding this a little too close to the vest on who
is receiving these hats, we are. Only to the extent that we
would like this to come off with out a hitch.

All will be revealed in the near future as to who, what. and where.

If you are interested in donating fur coordinate that with Beaglador
thru PM. If you do not have fur, but would like to donate to this
project, dollars are always welcome, PM me for additional info.

Any dollars donated to this project will be considered as a tax
right off and we will send a receipt for you to use.

Many thanks to all those who are helping make this happen!

Pick and beaglador and everyone else involved.... thank you for doing this.
This is perfect timing as September is Childhood Cancer month.
Money is tight right now but when I get extra funds I'll be donating for sure. I can help in other ways too.

Yup, it is perfect timing for sure.

don wolf we also donate to St Judes. Chili's all month has ways to donate too. They have the "color a chile" thing, sell shirts and one day during the month they will donate all profits for that day nationwide to St Judes.


Update on my friends reaction on the hat for the boy (8 yrs old) in Nome, AK and the whole project as well..... she is beyond excited in more ways we can imagine. Once again thanks to all who have contributed in any way.

Attention Everyone,

Got some very exciting news.....

The first hat has arrived in Texas and will be shipped as part of a care package my friend sends out to kids with cancer, which was her daughter's idea. Her daughter first started making and wearing headbands with daisy's on them along with feathers and or gems on them as she had lost her hair due to chemo. It quickly spread that they started making those headbands which are now called Brooke's Blossoms. Brooke passed away a couple years back but the blossoms continue to spread across North America. Both hospitals and cancer patients request these packages which is usually a headband, toys or the like.

The first hat is going to a 8 yo boy in Nome, AK.

Below is what my friend said:
"It arrived!!! Wow!! Is it okay if I make a social media post about this? It's amazing! The kids are going to LOVE them!"
She also gonna see if she could get a picture of the boy wearing the hat from the boys parents. I will keep everyone posted once I get more info.

Good job everyone

Hey Adam thanks for the news. I spoke with a manufacture about getting some headbands made- should be very doable. How awesome would it be to have some of those headbands sporting little fur flowers?

You're welcome. I'm glad I'm able to help and be a very very small part in this. Hopefully I will catch some fur this yr and will send you guys some.

That would be incredible beaglador.

Hey guys we just got a video message from the 8 yo boy in Alaska. Even if you don't have Facebook the link should still work.

Here is a pic of my friend (who helped get the boy his hat) and her daughter (Brooke) who has since passed from the same cancer (neuroblastoma) as the boy.


This is the picture of the boy Jens

Here is what my friend had to say...

Benjamin, age 4, lost his older sister, Brooke to stage IV Neuroblastoma cancer when she was just 8 years old. He thinks these amazingly soft fur hats are fun and that patients without hair will love them. He blew kisses into this one before it was sent to another boy named Jens from Nome, Alaska.

Benjamin (her son) says it makes him proud to help other kids, like Jens (Ak boy), with "lumpies" like his sister battled. Jens is 8 years old and is also fighting stage IV Neuroblastoma cancer like Benjamin's brave sister Brooke did. He is the first recipient of these new, luxuriously soft hats and has made a video* to share expressing his gratitude! (*on separate post)

A huge thanks to Jake from FURREAL in Pocopson, Pennsylvania for this wonderful donation to help bring smiles and love to children battling cancer.

Thank you all that have made this possible.

Here are few pictures from the other day at Penn State Children's Hospital, Keystone Institute for Furbearer Education making the delivery of hats(and taping for television) -







The big guy is Kermit Henning (abc27 WHTM, PA Outdoor Writers Association) and if some pictures of me with a strange facial expression ever arise it is because he kept telling me to look at him- let's just say he aint much fun to look at!
