2016 Memorial Service Project
|
Each year we do a special service project in Abby's memory for her birthday. We are very excited for Abby's 17th birthday memorial service project; this year we will work to raise funds for the Girls Outside with Ijams program.
Girls Outside with Ijams is a local non-profit program with the mission of providing opportunities for young girls to develop healthy and rewarding outdoor hobbies through programs that emphasize unplugging and having fun in nature with peers, learning about their environment, and engaging responsibly in activities that encourage independence and promote their physical, emotional and social well-being. The funds we raise will help cover the cost for girls who otherwise could not afford it and also provide hiking supplies/educational materials to girls participating in the program. Please consider helping us by making a donation and/or sharing this with your friends and family. Those who donate a minimum of $25 will receive a special ornament crafted by Dave Rogers, owner of The Wood Cottage located in Gatlinburg. As always, you can also choose to donate in memory of or in honor of someone and have the ornament and a card sent to that person or his or her family. We will be accepting donations through Saturday, Dec. 10th. Checks can be made payable to: "Abby Gibson Memorial Foundation" and mailed to Abby Gibson Memorial Foundation P.O. Box 9723 Knoxville, TN 37940. You can also donate online via Paypal on our website at http://www.abbygibson.org/donate.html Thank you for helping us continue to honor Abby's life and memory! |
