UPCOMING EVENT! SAVE THE DATE!

The Super Sophia Project has an exciting event planned for later this month because July is a special month for us! Sophia will be turning 11 and celebrating 7 years cancer-free! We would love for you to celebrate these milestones with us!
The Super Sophia Project is planning a Fun Fair called "A Day of Love," on Friday, July 23rd to mark these two special events in Sophia's life. From 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., we will have some fun games, food, prizes, a dunk tank, and vendors. Pick up a Love Box™ to fill or make a donation. We plan to have raffles as well, with the funds going towards the purchase of our new Love Boxes™.
Please watch our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram for more details. We're looking forward to having you help Sophia celebrate her 11th birthday and 7 years as a cancer survivor!

FEATURED LOVE BOXES™

Sweet Aeriyle received a Love Box™ in June. Her family wrote, "Thank you for putting a smile on my daughter's face, and spreading so much love... God bless you and your family!!"
Receiving photos and messages like this reinforces why The Super Sophia Project and its many supporters do what we do. We make a difference! Be kind and spread love!

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

The Super Sophia Project is run 100% by volunteers. We are always looking for more hands to help with this important work.

The Amazon wish list has proven to be a wonderful way for some people to gift us with the items we need for our Love Boxes™. We will continue to update the wish list with items to fulfill our needs. The items purchased from the wish list will ship to The Super Sophia Project and will be included in Love Boxes™. Here is The Super Sophia Project Amazon wish list.

As well, there are few items we are currently short on to include in Love Boxes™. We are in need of baby items such as soothers, rattles, bibs, sleepers, socks, teethers, and small toys. In addition, we are running low on toothpaste, deodorant, and nail polish. Travel size items are great as they easily fit in a Love Box™ without taking up too much room.

The easiest way you can ALL help is to SHARE any or all of The Super Sophia Project social media posts. Let's spread the word to as many people as possible.

July Father s Day Auction

UPDATE ON JUNE EVENTS

AUCTION:
On June 17th we held a Father's Day auction in loving memory of Sophia's dad, Jim. Thank you to all the wonderful small businesses and individuals who donated items to the auction. A big thank you too to those who bid on the lots and congratulations to those who won. The auction raised almost $400 for The Super Sophia Project.

LOVE BOX™ COLLECTION DAY:
On Sunday, June 27th we collected items and pre-filled Love Boxes™ for Michael Garron Hospital. The hospital needed NICU, 1-12 months, and teen Love Boxes™. Our volunteers collected Love Boxes™ filled by community members, and spent time putting together Love Boxes™. In a few short hours we had over 300 Love Boxes™ ready to go and loaded in a truck to be delivered the next day to the hospital. Thank you Suzie for making the delivery! A hospital employee shared, "It was so AMAZING to receive so many (much needed) love boxes today!!!! Suzie was a champ helping me unload all those boxes in shipping and receiving! It was probably 40 degrees in there!"

SPONSOR SHOUT OUT

We would like to recognize one of our amazing sponsors. The Children's Book Bank supports our charity by donating new books for us to include in Love Boxes™. They have donated 5000 books for all age groups - from babies to teens. We truly appreciate their sponsorship as the books are a great way for children in the hospital to pass the time and a way for them to have a little break or escape from their current reality. We greatly appreciate the generosity of The Children's Book Bank and their support of children's literacy and our initiative.

SPECIAL THANK YOU

We are so grateful to our Super Sophia community of supporters. We have two families we want to thank and give recognition to.

The first little lady pictured below had her 1st birthday and her family celebrated by asking others to give back. "First off I would like to say how amazing you and your family are for everything you do and continue to do. My family and I love the Love Boxes™ it’s something we started to participate in last Christmas and something we will continue to do. It’s such a great feeling knowing you helped put a smile on a child face even if for a minute.
This year for my daughter's first birthday instead of gifts I had asked her family to donate unwrapped toys that we could give to the Super Sophia project. ❤️ keep being amazing! The world needs more people like you." Thank you to this family and their extended family for your kind donations to our Love Boxes™.

The second family we want to thank is Cardella's family and friends. She also recently celebrated a birthday and asked her loved ones to donate money so they could give a group donation on Cardella's behalf to The Super Sophia Project. As a group, they donated $710 to The Super Sophia Project! Thank you Cardella for your selflessness... the impact will make a significant, positive difference in the lives of many other children.

Thank you so much to these two families for their thoughtfulness and their support of The Super Sophia Project. Your generosity and kindness will brighten the day of another child and give hope.
