You will notice this shiny new button in the right hand sidebar today and I just wanted to take a moment and let you know what it is there to represent. I made that button today after receiving some information about this challenge.

Press release follows in quotes;

Sandy Grossman-Morris Designs Challenges all NeedleArts Shops to Sponsor

Stitch to CURE Diabetes featuring “Rufus and the Sunbrella”

Your customers will have a great time learning new stitches, making new friends and most importantly, be a part of the Cure. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation benefits at each step of the Challenge.

1. Shops purchase “Rufus and the Sunbrella”. Sandy donates all profits to JDRF.
2. Stitcher’s sign up to stitch and gather Sponsors. Shops donate threads and finishing. Pledge donations will be given to your JDRF Chapter.
3. The completed “Rufus and the Sunbrella” is donated by the shop to your JDRF Chapter to be used for fundraising. It’s a win, win, win fundraiser!

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation was founded by parents of children with juvenile diabetes. JDRF has one mission: to find a cure for diabetes and it’s complications through the support of research. To learn more about the accomplishments of this organization go to their website: www.jdrf.org

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of people with Type 1 Diabetes. Stay in touch at www.sandygrossman-morris.com

The Needlepoint Clubhouse in St. Louis was the first shop to sign up, and hopefully many more shops and stitchers will join in the effort.
