Share the love! In celebration of Valentine’s Day, we invite your children to participate in our 3rd annual Valentine Exchange! 🧡🧡🧡

What is it?

This exchange is an opportunity for young children who have a parent with cancer to connect with each other by sending a handmade Valentine to another child of a similar age. We’ll send you and your kids everything they’ll need to complete a simple festive craft for their Valentine match. 

How does it work?

The Valentine’s Day Exchange is suited for kids ages 2-10. Parents will sign-up their children to receive a package and peer match. All registered children will be mailed a package that contains craft supplies, instructions, and an envelope that is stamped and pre-addressed with their match. Kids will have about 10-14 days to work on their Valentine craft, and are welcome to personalize it a bit to match the interests of their match (there will be a spot on the sign-up form for parents to make a note of these). 

Please refrain from sending food or gifts along with the Valentine craft–we want everyone’s special delivery to feel comparable. 

What do I need to do?

• Complete the sign-up form by Wednesday, January 15.

• Help children to work on their Valentine craft when their package is received (packages will be mailed Wednesday, January 22 and should arrive by Wednesday, January 29)

• Mail your Valentine between Wednesday, February 5 and Friday, February 7 to ensure they are received by February 14. Carissa will send reminders so you don’t forget…we don’t want any kiddo to be left out.
