We decided to do something a little different - we always need help at Gracie's Gowns, but because of the personal aspect of our mission in making each gown as unique as the child it is for, sometimes it is harder for us to reach out in ways that anyone and everyone can help. Last summer and fall we instituted a sponsorship page on our website - this page is where we list children on our request list that we currently do not have fabric to make their gown from.
We receive fabric donations every so often, but many times we can't use them right away as we like to pair up the interests of the child to the fabric used for their gown. This allows everyone to choose a specific child they'd like to sponsor and have a personal connection to Gracie's Gowns as well...it is a really awesome way to directly support Gracie's Gowns and help us continue to make gowns for all these children.

So, this year we wanted to step things up a little bit and give a great big thank you to everyone who has been so wonderful in helping sponsor these gown requests. We are creating sponsor levels that will be published on our website both on a personal and business level, but also by giving away a special surprise to one of the angels that help sponsor a gown request. This month will be the first month we get to do just that. We opened it up in May, but the drawing is at the end of this month and it is for a Thirty-One Gifts bundle of items worth $75.00!! Hollie has been awesome enough to donate the items for this giveaway to one of our sponsors! And we already have something lined up for July too!
You can do a general gown sponsorship if you can't decide as to which child you'd like to sponsor or would like to sponsor multiple requests - the average gown sponsorship is $25.00 and we always have children on our wait list that aren't on the sponsorship page because we just can't post every single little one all at once without overwhelming our website and your computer or phone. The button below will allow you to donate towards sponsoring a gown.

Also, if you belong to a company or direct sales business and would like to donate something for a month to be given away to one of our sponsors, please let us know! We'd love to help advertise and support your business, as well as, show our gown sponsors how much we really appreciate their love and support! You can contact us about sponsoring a month at: jessica@graciesgowns.org
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer or getting ready to start enjoying their summer!
