Update – Mavis Send in the Gnomes Fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

I wanted to give everyone an update on our Send in the Gnomes Fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

OH MY GNOME! Together we have raised $2,130 dollars and collected 213 garden gnomes towards our $10,000 / 1,000 garden gnome goal.

In case you just stumbled upon this and your’e wondering what the heck is going on, it’s simple. I am asking people to send in gnomes from all over the world, and for every gnome I receive for the Send in the Gnome project, I will donate $10 to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital.*

The ultimate goal is to receive 1,000 gnomes and truck them across the country in a MotorGnome and deposit them in the raised bed gardens at St. Jude Children’s Hospital and in public, community and children’s gardens along the way.

We are 21% of the way there! Wahoooooo.
