“I am proud of the work Basically Babies contributes to our city. They are the only organization in Edmonton whose sole purpose is to provide for the basic outfitting needs of infants in this way. As more young and impoverished families migrate to our area, seeking a better life, the outstanding volunteers at Basically Babies give these families a practical gift as well as a sense of the hope and promise that our community has to offer.”
Work Night - January 26, 2010 and February 25, 2010 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Basically Babies office.
MAMMOTH Basically Babies Garage Sale 2009
We thought that a little update was in order along with a “MAMMOTH” thank-you. As all of you are likely aware, the “Mammoth Basically Babies Garage Sale” held on Saturday May 30th was a huge success. We want to say a huge thanks to the Knotts (Greg, Colin and families) of Tailor Made Insurance for allowing us to “take over” the building parking lot for the day. The location was excellent and perfect for the sale. A special thank-you goes to Cari Knott and Shannon Walters for organizing the event - this was a mammoth task on its own!.
Together we raised over $10,500 for the Basically Babies Layette Program. Perhaps equally or even more important was the fact that we were able to talk about Basically Babies to many, many people and provide information about our organization and our objectives and we expect many good things to come of this in the future.
Many of you played a significant role in the success of this event and we are so grateful for your help. We had excellent comments about our volunteers all day long and afterwards too. Many comments were made about how hard everyone worked and how well everyone worked together, jumping in where needed and getting the job done – great job, volunteers! We recognize that each of you could have been spending a beautiful spring day on other activities, but chose to spend some time working together to raise funds to meet the basic outfitting needs of needy infants born into our community. For this we are very grateful. This was the biggest volunteer requirement that we have ever had in Basically Babies and you totally made it happen in a big way! Thank-you!
