Did you know that September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month? That’s right, Smarties, so join us in the first-ever “30 Days for a Cure” and help raise some much-needed dough for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer in honor of ‘lil Smarty Warrior, Grier Christenbury, and all of the little warriors just like him.
Grier Christenbury is a 6-year-old in our community who has been battling Neuroblastoma since the age of 2½ years old. Grier’s Smarty Mom, Amy Christenbury, (read Amy’s 2008 Smarty Mom profile here) has joined forces with Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a national non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for pediatric cancer research, and is bringing us “30 Days for a Cure” where 100% of the proceeds will be dedicated to pediatric cancer research.
For the entire month of September, 30 local businesses will be donating a portion of their proceeds for one given day of the month to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. Every single day, a super cool Charlotte hotspot will be featured for the day. Today is Smoothie King on East Blvd, tomorrow is T. Reid & Co on East Blvd, Thursday is Chick-fil-A on Woodlawn, Friday is Qdoba on Woodlawn, Saturday is Alphabet Soup in Morrocroft Village. You get the idea – all of your favorite digs will help this great cause for the entire month. Click here to get the line-up for the month.
Smarties, you should be proud to be a part of this incredible city! When we all rally together, we can move mountains! A big Smarty congrats goes out to these fabulous local businesses who are making a big difference in children and their families who really, really need it.
Another local Smarty at www.whatevercrafts.com is selling these trendy bottlecap necklaces to raise $ for pediatric cancer awareness. Click here to buy Grier’s very own bottlecap necklace – WAY COOL and perfect for birthday gifts!
So let’s go raise some dough every day this month, Smarties! Enjoy some sweets, load up on the super cool bottlecap necklaces, pamper yourself with a mani/pedi, take your fam to Chick-fil-A, get a tee shirt monogrammed, AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT! GO GRIER GO!

This is incredible! I'm definitely going to visit these sales. Thanks for featuring this.
Not that I don't enjoy reading about what is going on around town, but where are the blogs about raising your family? Seems like there have been less and less of the fun blogs. Haven't been on in a while and can't seem to find any recent ones.
