More Toys Please

My little helpers are lined up for our annual shopping spree this Thursday 12/14 . The good news is, there is still plenty of time to donate!! Even though the big splurge is Thursday, I will continue to collect toys and donations through FRIDAY, 12/15. 

If you would like me and my helpers to do the shopping for you, you can donate via Nikki’s PayPal using the link. I can still set up a time to pick up toys if you would prefer.

Please help me deliver a load of toys to the kiddos! Thank you!!!

Toys For Tots 2017

It is December 1st and even though our weather in Minneapolis doesn’t feel like winter, it is the giving season.

It is that time of year again that I ask you for your help to put smiles on kids faces during the holiday’s. Please help me add to the collection of toys that I will be delivering to Toys for Tots on 12/16/17.

Many of you know about my history of donating toys to Toys for Tots on my birthday. This is going to be the TWENTIETH  year in a row I have dropped off toys to the Marines and Kare11! For those of you that have not seen this, here is a link to the story that aired a couple of years ago Kare11 Toys for Tots.

You can contribute by: setting a collection box at your place of work, ask friends or school mates, or if you would prefer to make a donation, I will do your shopping for you! Remember, I bring my “little helpers” and we are your personal shoppers. We will find as many toys possible with your donation and deliver them with our collection. Contact me directly at nikkisnewlungs@gmail for cash/check donations or you may use the same email to send your donation to me via PayPal.

I will need to purchase or set a time with you to pick up all toys by FRIDAY, December 15th in order to deliver on 12/16 to KARE 11 News. Thank you for helping me deliver as many toys possible again this year in honor of my double lung transplant donor, Jacob.

Here is a picture with my helpers from last year at the annual toy shopping spree.

2017 Cystic Fibrosis Gala – November 18th

We are approaching the time when the annual Cystic Fibrosis Gala comes around. This year, the black tie event, will be held on Saturday, November 18th starting with cocktails and silent auction at 5:30P.M. This is the largest CF event of the year in Minnesota and last year, over a million dollars was raised during the evening! It is inspiring to be in a room and see such an amazing accomplishment to help those of us living with cystic fibrosis.

I believe it is important for you to know, ninety cents of every dollar raised goes towards actual research to find a cure and make CF stand for “Cure Found”. Cystic Fibrosis is not supported by government funding so every donation is crucial in helping with the advancements of medications and treatments for everyone living with this horrible disease. Right now, with the help of all the amazing contributions from CF supporters, there are currently over 25 drug trials in the drug development pipeline. The research needs to continue so one day many of these drugs will become available to patients.

Click on the link for more information, to purchase tickets, or make a donation to the 2018 Breath of Life Gala. Travis and I would be thrilled if you could join us. If you are able to attend, please let me know so I can make sure our tables are all near each other
