All products in this collection had two main functions... To create awareness and to raise money for Nursing Education. All proceeds were donated to St. Lukes Nursing fund in memory of my mother, Samantha Hickey FNP.
I am beyond thrilled to announce this project produced a $15,000 check donation from mask and sticker sales... And in addition to, our online donations brought in $5,0000!
I want to personally thank everyone who contributed to this project. I never thought a $20,000 donation would be realistic, seems so unreal. Thank you, Devan.

]]>As a mom, she attended every event her children participated in. All the sporting events, dance lessons, swim lessons, and celebrations she attended in full support of her kids. For Thrillside, she has been our biggest supporter since before day one. With all the ups and downs of chasing your goals, I honestly would have caved years ago if it wasn't for her support. It is thrilling for me to see how much of an impact she made with her craft, she is an inspiration.
