Hey everyone! Tuesday, February 9 is Christy’s 40th birthday and I’ve set up a Zoom call where we can celebrate the life of our Christy, have some laughs, and share some ways that we have honored her memory during the past few months. Since this is her birthday weekend, I challenge everyone in the group to go and do something that you think would make Christy happy, whether it’s something kind, fun, or generous! I look forward to seeing everyone who cared for her on Tuesday at 8:00pm EST to cheers to her 40th! Rachel Hutchinson is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Last year, we raised $4,000 in Christy’s memory for Costumes For Courage! We were able to have a fun event last year in person, and this year due to Covid, it is not possible. We are at $2,900 raised thus far this year in her honor. There is 20 days until her birthday and how awesome would it be to not only meet last year’s numbers, but beat them? We can help kids facing serious medical concerns have fun, and I know Christy would love that. Any donation would be amazing! Please share the donation link to your page!

Hi all! Don’t forget to comment and post the fun/good deeds that you are doing in honor of Christy! Today, I saw this in the truck in front of me. It’s a man who needs a living donor transplant. Did you know that you can donate a portion of your liver to someone and that your liver will grow back? And you can save a life?! Super cool and something I know Christy would support! Here is the info if you know anyone with this blood type that is interested.

Happy New Year! To share the fun things you have done in Christy’s honor, go to the tab that says “community” and then share. I’m trying to figure out an easier way to do it. If you are also so inclined, you can make a donation in Christy’s honor to Costumes For Courage. Any acts of kindness, fun, or donations go towards winning Christy’s Birthday Challenge! Let’s go into what would have been Christy’s 40th year doing things to make her proud!

Transfer money online in seconds with PayPal money transfer. All you need is an email address.

I made this a few years ago and just wanted to share so everyone can hear her voice again. Merry Christmas Eve, everyone. We all love and miss you, Christy! 💜😇

A little backstory for those who want to participate in this challenge and may not have known Christy: her favorite number was 22, which is why I launched the challenge on December 22 and that’s why one of the suggested donation amounts for PayPal is $22. I tried to pepper in some of Christy’s favorite things, like her love of (winning) contests, her favorite number, and ideals that she embodied during her amazing run on this Earth. 💜

In the first 5 hours of Christy's Birthday Challenge going live, we have received $522 in donations for Costumes For Courage via PayPal in memory of Christy. These donations go to provide costumes to children facing serious medical issues to help them to have fun during medical treatment. I can't say that I am surprised, because Christy touched so many people! I am hoping that more people will join this challenge to make the world a more fun, kind, and generous place. To donate to Costumes for Courage, you can donate through this official PayPal link:

This is looking like it’s the easiest way to fundraise as well as the easiest to track. If you want to raise money in honor of Christy via PayPal versus through Facebook, you can use this link that takes you right to the donation page. Have the people who are donating in your honor put your name in the note or email us with the name of the person that donated. PS the person doesn’t need a PayPal account to donate and can make a secure donation with a credit or debit card. Here is the PayPal link:
