Helping Rebuild Joplin

I love it… the other day one of my friends gave me this bracelet.  Then she’s like now are you going to blog about it. ha!

Anyway There are a lot of people doing things to try and help raise money to rebuild Joplin.  And the previous paragraph, here is one of them, the LiveStrong Bands.

When you purchase your band it comes with this:

The Joplin, Missouri Tribute Bracelet
Let this band represent the people and the city of Joplin, Missouri for what we went through, and most importantly the ones we lost.  Let this band be our symbol of Hope, Faith, Strength, Resolve & Community.
Color:
The color was selected for its uniqueness to represent the residents of Joplin and though we have been through a devastating tragedy, no matter how long it takes, that together through Our Hope, Our Faith, Our Strength, Our Resolve and Our Unity we can look to brighter days ahead.
Designed and Donated by
Mason-Woodard Mortuary & Chapel.

Now if they just came in sizes, I would have to wear it halfway up to my elbow… LOL

One side says, “God is with us, we will rebuild”

The other side says, “In memory of Joplin Tornado Victims, May 22, 2011”

You can pick yours up at Mason-Woodard Mortuary & Chapel  @ 3701 E 7th St in Joplin.  The bracelets are $2, but if you want to donate more, that’s up to you :).

Then on Saturday our Semi-Pro Team, The Joplin Crusaders played a benefit game against the Duncan Diamonds.  All proceeds from the game went to Joplin Relief efforts.

 

the guy holding the American Flag, is one of our friends.

He’s still holding the flag, this time he was waving it at us.

At halftime the score was 19-0 Crusaders.
They won it with a score of 41-0.

Now I thought this was funny, this is at the local college stadium… um… look at the numbers… 16, 22, 17… something isn’t right there!

And it was that way on other sets of bleachers too… 15, 23, 17.  I saw one that went 19, 20, 24.

Then the Lovely Jacin from Lovely Little Details and Darling Little Details has a project she calls Jars of Love.
