Bee Brave Buddies is excited to announce that we are the official grantee for July from the Awesome Foundation Miami. The Awesome Foundation is a global community advancing the interest of awesome in the universe, $1000 at a time. Each Fully autonomous chapter supports awesome projects through micro-grants of $1000 to people and groups working on "awesome" projects! The funds come out of the pockets of the chapter's "trustees" and are given on a no-strings-attached basis to these groups. They have chapters around the world. How AWESOME!! So needless to say we are all extremely proud here at Bee Brave Buddies to receive this grant! This is super AWESOME because this grant will help us to purchase fabric, stuffing and other supplies for over 400 of our Bee Brave Buddies dolls to put into the arms of brave children living with cancer. Together, with The Awesome Foundation Miami, we will be putting big smiles on these kiddies faces, both here in the South Florida area (Miami/ Fort Lauderdale) and reaching out across the state of Florida! We are partnering with children's hospitals in major Florida cities. If you have a child with cancer any where in the country, please nominate them for one of our dolls. We will ship the doll out with love as a gift from us! We are honored to announce, The Awesome Foundation Miami is one of our founding sponsors for our new nonprofit, Bee Brave Buddies. WE hope to make them proud! |

I am so excited to share with you our first big Bee Brave Buddy Super Hero event. For several weeks we have been very busy in our studio making beautiful silky super hero capes for all of the kiddies and their siblings in treatment at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Alex's Place which is their new outpatient hematology infusion center and clinic. Sylvester CCC is part of the University of Miami Health Care Campus. The first week of August which was my birthday, I decided to throw myself a big birthday party to celebrate with all of the children that would be in treatment that day at the clinic and did we have a fabulous time! We took baskets of fun felt stickers for each child to personalize their super hero capes and super hero crowns we had made for them. Check out these chic chic designs that each kiddie decorated and dressed up in for our "I am a Super Bee Brave Buddy Hero of the Day" fashion show. Some capes did not have room for one more sticker!... the kiddies all got one of our Bee Brave Buddies beautifully bald silky soft dolls, Buddy Brave And Bestie Brave to also take home.. and what is a birthday party without yummy cupcakes, treats and juice boxes!? As a big bonus the hospital downloaded our special Bee Brave Buddy paper dolls we designed for our Bitty Bee Art Corner here (free downloads for all as a gift from us!) The little girls especially loved adding bling, dressing them and playing make believe with Buddy Brave and Bestie Brave paper dolls. Join our slideshow party here to see a few special moments we had with these adorable little children. We also want to thank Microsoft Windows #upgradeyourworld as one of our sponsors for the very special event. Together we put big smiles on the faces of 20 children and siblings who needed a little fun and our Bee Brave Buddy dolls to hold their hands, snuggle and hug while they were in treatment that day. I could not have had a better, more memorable birthday party!! Looking forward to many more special Bee Brave Buddies events. |
Rosanna HopeI dedicate this project to my three beautiful daughters Elizabeth, Rachel and Rebecca and three gorgeous grandchildren Sophia, Zachary and Noah who have taught me how powerful a bond of love is between a mother or grandmother and a child. Archives
