Project Brinkley: Christmas Edition

As Christmas approaches, we are reminded that Brinkley spent the entire month of December in the Pediatric Cardiac unit at MUSC.  This was not part of my plan for my baby's first Christmas.  A group of parents came in on Christmas day and served lunch to the families in the unit.  One of the ladies serving told me that they did this because they had all been there themselves at Christmas.  This made a huge impact on me and I want to pay it forward.  This Christmas Team Brinkley will be partnering with Take Heart to share this spirit with the families in our own children's hospital.  (You can learn about Take Heart here.)

Take Heart will be presenting the hospital with gifts and Team Brinkley will be serving lunch.  We need your help!  If you would be willing to cook or if your business would be willing to provide paper products please let me know.  I will not have specific numbers until the week of Christmas, but we would like to get a jump on the paper goods.  Monetary donations or gift cards (Costco would be ideal) can be sent to Team Brinkley c/o Crystal Holder 3504-351 Hwy 153 Greenville, SC 29611.  Checks should be made out to Team Brinkley and make note on the memo line that it is for the Christmas project.

If you are willing to cook please contact us at projectbrinkley@gmail.com and we will see which menu item you would like to prepare.  Thanks in advance!
