Yup! It's that time again....that time of the year to figure out if you're going to join me and become of member of Cook Children's Seventh Avenue. You know you want to, so quit denying it. Jump on the band wagon like good little girls and boys and let‘s have a fantastic year together! Once you do, you'll kick yourself for not joining years ago.
Each October Seventh Avenue hosts a Kick-off Party for prospective and existing members. You heard it right, you can go to this party THIS Thursday to hear all about it, and THEN decide if it's something you want to do...but your decision will be an obvious NO BRAINER.
Here are pictures from last year's event at Firestone & Robertson Distilling Co. It was a blast seeing old faces and new, dancing to great music...food was fantastic, along with the hired LIP READER and Cigar Roller! One thing I've learned about Cook Children's over the years is they don't hold back when it comes to entertaining.
There are several events throughout the year that you can even get your kids in on the fun. Winn and Reed LOVE to join me at the hospital to help make blankets for patients with all their friends, or even pack bags of food for families staying over night at the hospital.
But their favorite Seventh Avenue activity is the Teddy Bear drive. This is when we collect as many bears as we can from friends and family, and then we bring them to the Teddy Bear Picnic for a party and celebration for all of our hard work and effort.
I'm sure by now your wondering what the cost is for a Seventh Avenue membership. One hundred percent of your tax deductible membership fee go directly to special projects at Cook Children's. Couples are $500 and single memberships are $250. Look at what 165 members last year were able to do for our wonderful local childrens' hospital.
So here are ALL the details for this year‘s ALWAYS AWESOME Kick-off party, being hosted at 809 Vickery. Reata will be catering scrumptious bites, local talent, Katy Keenie and her band will be in full swing, along with lots of fun surprises like a $1,000 closet makeover giveaway from the Container Store for a lucky member! And of course my favorite part? The party favors at the end of the evening. Cook Children's knows how to pull it off with lots of creativity every time.
