| Messages of Hope
Get your group together and write supportive notes to stem cell transplant patients. Use the template provided, create your own, or collect blank note cards. Once you’re finished, collect the notes and mail them to us in the enclosed envelope. We’ll deliver your messages to local hospitals! This is a great activity to engage in the mission and share with your network to ask for donations.

| Pin Up Toolkit
These small cards, known as "pin ups," can be bought for a minimum donation. The individual signs their card (maybe adds a message of hope) and then the card is displayed in a highly visible location—e.g., around the principal’s door, near the main door, or as locker badges. As more people participate, the display makes an impactful statement AND raises critical funds for patients.

Text-a-Thon
Get your group together for a day of texting for a cause! Reserve a room at school or meet at the local coffee shop to text as many people as possible, asking for donations. This kit will take you through how to plan and execute a successful text-a-thon. |
