Kohl's Cares!

Kohl's employee, Sara Bauer, rallied the troops (in this case, fellow Kohl's employees and a neighbor) to support the Minnesota Chapter of ConKerr Cancer. They joined the sewing event in Shakopee on September 14th.  These fabulous volunteers said they plan to continue to make pillowcases throughout the year!

Sara, is what I call a "super supporter" of the pillowcase effort.  Besides this event she participated in June to make cases for victims of the Oklahoma tornados.  She has also spread the word about ConKerr Cancer and recruited several volunteers. 

 

Earlier this year, Sara and another Kohl's employee, sewed with students, and teacher Laurie Sabel, at St.Croix Falls High School in St.Croix Falls, WI. 

 

 

 We are so lucky to have the help of Kohl's employees!  Thank you!!!

 

 

Shakopee Sewing Event

Last year's event total of 400 cases was a big number to beat, but we did it! 

Volunteers made 166 pillowcases during the four hour sewing event.  Add those to the 306 completed cases delivered to the event for a total of 472 cases!

 

Sewing Event in Finland, Minnesota

Results from the first sewing event during our fourth annual Miles of Pillowcase Smiles Campaign are in - 420 pillowcases!  WAY TO GO LADIES!

Here are some pictures of the sewing event in Finland, Minnesota.  Looks like a lot of sewing and a lot of smiles!

This volunteer learned to sew after 60.  She sewed her very first pillowcase at the event!
