Charity and
giving back is huge in my family, especially around the holidays. So, when we
were asked to participate in the Tinsel and Tidings event this year at the
Metropolis Resort (Action City) in Eau Claire, WI I couldn’t say no. It’s part
of the Mighty Maddy Mission, a charity to help kids with pediatric cancer and it’s truly a great event that you can’t miss.
If you are going to be around on Nov 23rd from 12pm-3pm please take
the time and bring your family out. You won’t want to miss it. Check out the
details below. Here are pictures from last years event.
Tinsel &
Tidings will take place like I said above on Nov 23rd from 12pm to
3pm at the Metropolis Resort. You will be able to walk through decorated Christmas
trees from area businesses. During the time they will be selling raffle tickets
and doing a silent auction for the trees and gift baskets. Not only that there
will be family activities like cookie decorating, hot chocolate bar, ornament
making, live music and even a meet and greet with Santa and Mrs. Clause.
The proceeds
from the silent auction go to Mighty Maddy Mission. Their mission is simple:
“Mighty Maddy’s
Mission Strives to put smiles on the faces of children and families as they
navigate the difficult journey of pediatric cancer.”
This year is
the second year for Tinsel and Tidings, and they raised just over $6,000. This
year they hope the weather will be much better and will raise even more. To do
so, we need your help. We need you to come out and support the children.
During the year
Mighty Maddy’s Mission has other events as well other than Tinsel &
Tidings that helps local hospitals and patients everyday. Events such as:
When a child
going through treatment ends up being admitted to the hospital or having a more
invasive procedure at Marshfield’s Children’s Hospital, we have a cart that
they can pick a toy from. Our hope is to provide them some comfort and a smile
during the difficult stuff!
No Hair, Don't
Care Celebration
Hair loss
because of cancer treatment is a reality for many of these wonderful kiddos. We
hope to flip this from a sad time to a time that instills a feeling of becoming
a warrior and superhero as they journey through their quest of conquering
cancer.
When a family
is hit with the terrible news that their child has cancer it is completely
devastating. With our New Diagnosis Baskets, we offer comfort items, amenities,
and snacks as well as a resource document outlining helpful organizations and
tips for the journey ahead.
Please if you
can come out on Nov 23, do so. There may be a tree or gift basket that is
perfect for your family. You never know what you can find. Not only that, my
family and I will be there J We would love to meet you and say hi.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post and such a great cause too.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a lovely event and one to get into you into the Christmas spirit, for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt is so heartwarming to read about events and charities like these that help families having a child with cancer. It is devastating enough for an adult to go through with such disease, what more for a child who does not yet understand what is going on in their little bodies. I hope they get a huge turnout! I would be there in a heartbeat if I only lived close!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit, and do something great at the same time!
