2011 in Review

Last year when 2011 hit, Fairy Godmother Project was just a little idea inspired by an amazing little girl named Evy. Now on the first day of 2012, we are taking a look back with awe at how the idea grew!

What did FGP accomplish in 2011?

• Provided cleaning and/or meals to 5 families in Fredericksburg area, 2 in NoVA
  
• Sent care packages and gift cards to 2 families in Richmond area
• Logged thousands of volunteer hours (still waiting on total- go here to log yours!)
• Did 9 photo sessions
• Recruited 65 volunteers for family services program and 14 for photography program
  
• Held 4 volunteer trainings (just since August)
• Was Featured on the Front Page of the paper!
• Developed partnerships with local businesses including Foode, J.Brian's, Merry Maids (540 898 3636) and GrassRoots (Cathy Lyon 540-361-1572), Moms of Fredericksburg
  
• Became a program of Journey 4 A Cure
  
• Attended Stafford County Public Schools' Learn and Serve Community Fair
  
• Developed a board to assist in decision making (will be introducing board members over next few weeks)
• Raised thousands of dollars for a local family
  
• Was the beneficiary of a holiday party that raised $1500 in gift cards for families
• Started the planning for DC and Richmond chapters
• Gave families 1200 in gift cards
• Connected families for gift giving
  

2012 is here and we are filled with hope that this little idea will
continue to grow and make a difference in the lives of families undergoing pediatric cancer treatment. We hope that we can continue to take away some stress of the families we help through meals, cleaning and support. FGP is constantly growing and changing based on the needs of families and the resources we have.


We have no idea what this year will bring, but are hopeful that on January 1,2013, we will have the same sense of wonder, pride and awe at all FGP has done and accomplished.

Thanks for your support in 2011!
