“I am…” Enamel Pins

The designs are based on “I am…” affirmations and can be worn or displayed to remind yourself that you are enough, alive, yourself, and loved.

Each phrase is paired with a synonymous flower to add both detail and a deeper meaning to the design.

JAIL OR BAIL – The Board Game

The goal of the game is to be the last player on the board. Knock your fellow players out by giving them 3 Felonies or bankrupting them.

The game changes every time and sometimes it’s more fun to be knocked out of the game than to win.

Brian Fritts Memorial Fund

Brian Fritts passed away unexpectedly April 26th. He was a graduate of Dublin Coffman High School and the Ohio State University.

Anyone who knows Brian knows that his 12 year old daughter, Addie, was the center of his world.

Nothing would make Brian happier than to know that Addie’s education has been provided for.

Gift of Hearing for Elroi

We are raising funds to allow our 3-year old profoundly deaf child to have a cochlear implant surgery as soon as possible as recommended by ENT specialist.

This will be Elroi’s 5th surgery in his young life, after having been diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome (explained below) not too long after birth.

Every amount you can give is utterly appreciated to help us give our Elroi the gift of hearing (and consequently speech)!

Andrew Morales passed away on March 5, 2018, after he lost consciousness during a band practice and was taken to Dublin Methodist Hospital where they tried to revive him.

Andrew loved music and was passionate about academics as well.
