Team Kaleb is kicking boooooty!

There are so many ways you can help Team Kaleb! We have been doing so many wonderful things to raise money for CF and a Cure for my boy.

So far we have collected coins, had several businesses donate like: BP, Yale cleaners in Owasso, Green Wing Lawn & Landscape Services Inc, Pampered Chef (consultants Jodi Carter and Missy Swafford), Music to Grow By, and we have had 2 Pampered Chef parties, straight personal donations, $11 birthday challenge, and the Donor a Day challenge in the hospital! Our grand total as of right now is $4,225.14 and that does not even include Hannah's Coins for a Cure!

My goal as an individual (not including Hannah's coins) is $6,000 and I know we are going to pass that WAYYYY up and I am so excited! I have a secret dream for our team to hit $10,000!

Here is what we have going on now and in the near future to raise money for TEAM KALEB:


-90 Day Challenge: Join this challenge before the end of the month and 100% profits go to Team Kaleb. Check out the link below for details. If you want to get fit and healthy and lose weight while helping Team Kaleb and the CFF, this would interest you.

-Hannah's Coins for a Cure: This fundraiser is really picking up momentum. Our Upwards basketball league has joined force, some of my women friends collected at women's retreat, there is a fb group started by our good friends Marcia and Tim Cato, friends from church and school all are getting their baggies of change together for Hannah. She has filled up one huge coffee container with coins and bills and is moving to the next. I know she is going to have a TON of money by May and it will go under her own "account" under Team Kaleb so she can be proud of the money SHE raised. All of that will contribute to our TEAM total and I am secretly hoping to blow the team goal of $7,000 out of the water.

*I have heard there is a local bank that matches coins up to $1,000 for charity?? If anyone has any info on this I would be VERY interested in this program.

-Bunco for a Cure: This is going to happen on Friday night April 20 at Cedar Ridge Church in Broken Arrow. There will be tickets sold, dessert and coffee, raffles, baskets, donations accepted. This is still in the planning stages and if you would like to contribute $ or items for this please let me know. Any items like jewelry, food gift cards, Ipad, Ipod touch, dessert, coffee, gift baskets, rented tables and chairs, gift cards, TV's, electronics, gaming systems....we will take anything! So let me know if you can donate or know someone or a business. This is a shared fundraiser with Fanconi Anemia (www.fanconi.org). All profits will be split 50/50 between CFF and Fanconi. My friend has a son who has this and it is also genetic and without a cure. This fundraiser will be going through Cedar Ridge so everything is tax deductible. Cedar Ridge will then write the checks to CFF and Fanconi.

-Tupperware Party/online and catalog style: This is going to kick off within the next week or so and 40% profits will go to CFF. My friend Ashlee Priest is a consultant and we are working out the final details. So, get ready to order and get some cool stuff and raise money for CF.

-Music to Grow By: Our music teacher at school and Hannah's piano teacher Beth Carr (we also go to church with her) owns a great little business called Music to Grow that offers music lessons and Kinder music at 81st and Sheridan. She is giving $5 from each spring registration to TEAM KALEB and we should find out here very soon how much we get!!

-Team Kaleb Hair Bows/Flowers: Gracy Girl Bowtique owned by my friend Kim Lee has made Team Kaleb its own signed beauty flower hair bow and it is $5! For each sale, Team Kaleb gets $4! We have already sold over 40 bows and we are selling until May! I have some pre-made so tell me how many you want and I will get them to you. If you are not local, just pay shipping (about $5) and I will mail them to you! They are purple for CF (the official CF color) and there is a picture at the top of what they look like!

-Team Kaleb t-shirts and bracelets: Both of these are in the works and both will have all profits go to TEAM KALEB! Kaleb is in process of designing and brainstorming on these RIGHT NOW!!


I am passionate about doing what I can to raise money for a cure for my boy. I may not be able to stop what it is doing to his body and us having to be in the hospital, but TOGETHER we can raise FUNDS for a cure!!!

Thank you for partnering with us! CF doesn't stand a chance!
