Measurements Guide Revision and Bereavement Program Update

Nov 26, 2012

We are constantly striving to ensure that we provide our volunteers with the best information and the hospitals we support with what really works best.  Over the years we’ve wondered if our measurements for the items we donate are “just right”.  When I started working as an NICU RN, I discovered that our measurements guide wasn’t quite right for our bereavement items.  I found that the guide was giving our volunteers the measurements for the baby, but it didn’t give any insight as to what the garment itself should measure.

Chance to Win a Free Craftsy.com Online Crafting Course

Nov 26, 2012

So often we hear stories of people who would like to learn how to knit, crochet, or sew.  We recently shared our mission with the folks at Craftsy.com and they were so touched by the work our volunteers are doing that they wanted to help.  Over the next two weeks, we are partnering with Crafsty to offer one free Craftsy Online Course to two lucky winners!

Black Friday Shopping For the Babies!

Nov 23, 2012

We did it again.  This morning, loyal TPP volunteers crawled out of bed at 4am to be the first in line at Joann Fabric in Iowa City.  We were looking for the very best deals in fabric for our babies.  We are able to make the most out of our fundraising dollars by making a mad dash to purchase one years worth of fabric on this one crazy day.  The more we save, the more NICUs we can support.  Thanks to over $3,500 in donations for our Black Friday Fabric Fundraiser, we were able to purchase over 700 yards of fabric!  This year our haul filled two large SUVs.

With the fantastic once a year Black Friday prices, we saved over $4,200!  Additional fabric was purchase online in the wee hours of the morning on Thanksgiving day.  We will be sure to take a picture when it arrives in the mail.  We feel kind of bad for our mailman.  We’ll make sure he knows that it’s for the babies.  Thanks to all who made this purchase possible.  It’s for our babies!!!
