June updates

Goodness, it has been awhile since I posted! June has been a busy month for Lasting Imprint!

A handful of volunteers put on a garage sale at the beginning of the month to raise money for the organization. Huge thanks to Dana, Nicole, Emily, Jennifer and Jolene! Their hard work brought in over $500!

On June 20th I had the opportunity to speak to our local Kiwanis club. One of my favorite things to do is share the stories behind Lasting Imprint and watch as people are impacted by them. Individuals came up to me afterwards to ask questions and even make donations! We are slowly spreading awareness and building support in our local communities!

This past weekend we had a booth at Heartbeat5000, a 5K walk/run to benefit Children's Hospital of Minneapolis. It turned out to be a perfect morning! It was fun to visit with hospital staff, meet new families, and talk with familiar faces. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say "Hi!"

One of the most exciting pieces of news from this month is that Lasting Imprint has officially received our 501c3 status from the IRS! This paperwork is crucial in applying for grants and receiving donations from large businesses.

We are certainly off to a great start to the summer and we hope you are too! Enjoy your holiday weekend and have a Happy 4th of July!
