✨KATIE’S KARDS FOR KIDS FUNDRAISER✨
Hello everyone! Today I am sharing something with you that has been in the process for a couple months and finally coming to life. I am so excited! Katie’s Kards for Kids is a project I created to help families with kids that have an extended stay at hospitals. Expenses related to these stays go beyond medical. This project will give gift cards to these families to help with these expenses. Funds for these cards will be raised by selling these amazing T-shirt’s that signify South Dakota: our beautiful state bird- the pheasant; 605- South Dakota’s one and only area code; and our amazing Mt. Rushmore! The best part? 100% of the profits made from these shirts will go towards these gift cards! Now, I need your help! Whether you are from near or far, what better way to represent our great state of South Dakota and support families of children in the hospital than buying one of these awesome T-shirts!
 
The shirts are $20 a piece with MANY options! If you are local, CreativeWEB in Woonsocket and Sanborn Central School in Forestburg are two drop off locations! Otherwise you can fill out this form and email it back to me at misssouthdakotateenusa@futureproductions.net
I appreciate all of your support! 💕
