I am spending a lot of my free time on a very important event coming up this Spring! To celebrate Taylor Gibbs treatment ending in April, the Gibbs are putting on a huge carnival--Taylor's Finish Line Carnival! There will be mechanical rides, entertainment, and much more! All of the proceeds will go to Levine's Children's Hospital of Charlotte and the local Make-a-Wish Foundation. One other big aspect of the carnival is the Cookies for Kids Cancer Bake Sale! This is my baby :) I am working with my friend Emily, who works for this incredible foundation, Cookies for Kids Cancer. All of the money raised at the Bake Sale will go directly to fund research for pediatric cancer. If you can imagine it, we will be selling 10, 000-20,000 baked goods--homemade and donated--and doing a lot of other events along the way to prepare for the big event, including a fun all day Bake-a-thon! The Finish Line Carnival takes places on Sunday, May 23rd at the drag strip at Charlotte Motor Speedway. This is the day after the All-Star race and the hope is that the thousands of people camped out for the two Charlotte races, will come out to the carnival on Sunday! I am so excited about giving my time to something that has impacted me! My life has obviously been touched by pediatric cancer and I'm looking forward to giving to this community of people that are being effected every day! If you are local and would like to get involved, we are making up our team of volunteers now (and we need lots of them!)--there are several different ways that you can get involved! You can also attend the carnival with your family--learn more about it on the website here!
