Midnight Oil = Success!

We are moving forward with amazing progress and have some EXCITING news to report. But before we get to that, we felt you should get to see some behind the scenes from Lanee's Legacy and how we are pulling this all together.

Becky's kitchen table is surrounded at least a couple of nights out of the week with her greatest helpers: Heather, Erika and Rayel. Meetings usually commence around 9:00 p.m. lasting several hours as everyone works to pull this together. QT has been our greatest companion keeping our ambition fueled on through the night (yes, we'll plug them - they're donating too)! We received a wonderful letter from them telling us that they "value the work" and want to "help further the cause". It is so amazing to see our organization progress and we have all agreed that it has taken on a life of it's own and we are are just holding on for the ride!

First things first. If you haven't already gotten your tickets to our pancake breakfast through our paypal account, we have our actual tickets printed and ready to sell!! You can contact us through laneeslegacy@hotmail.com with how many tickets you want ($5 for one, or, $25 for 6) and how to contact you and we will make sure they get to you. Keep in mind that we accept cahiers check or money order through mail only. If you want to pick them up, we'll take cash.

Okay, so on to some amazing news. If you listen to Movin' 97.5, your familiar with the morning show Lukas and Nina. Lukas has graciously offered to attend our event as our emcee. We're confident that he's sure to keep us "movin"! (Sorry, we couldn't help ourselves!)

If you've seen us on facebook, you'll notice our group has grown to over 300 members in just 9 days, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. We are truly humbled, and our e-mail continues to swell with people offering donations and support. With just over 6 weeks until pancake flippin time, we are anxiously burning the midnight oil to make sure it is a success!

Don't judge us too harshly, we took this at 1:00 a.m.!

Breakfast For A Cause!

Since beginning the project of the bereavement boxes, Lanee's Legacy has been able to donate over 400 to Banner Desert Medical Center. The intent was to only donate on DeLanee’s birthday each year, but as a result of the response from both Banner Desert Medical Center and a number of the recipient mother’s, the project has progressed to more than just once a year. As the years have gone by, Lanee's Legacy has donated more and more each year, but unfortunately cannot continue to meet the growing need for the boxes. It is not only financially difficult to meet this need, but being able to manage the necessary resources and manpower to continue to make these boxes is tremendous. Considering that there are 15 - 17 infant deaths per month at just this hospital alone, many families are left without. Each delivery that we make to Banner Desert consists of 40 boxes (20 boy/20 girl). The estimated cost of each box is approximately $20.00 totalling $800.00 per delivery.

It is for this reason that we ask for your assistance in helping Lanee’s Legacy to continue to grow and expand.It is our hope to be able to not only deliver boxes to Banner Desert more frequently, but to also serve other hospitals as well. In order to accomplish this we need to become a non-profit organization. It is through becoming non-profit that large businesses can make monetary donations that will allow us to meet the demand.

So. . . how can you help?
