It’s time again to start prepping, purple pals for the kids at Camp Brainstorm! Last year, thanks to YOUR hard work, and generosity we were able to supply every single camper, volunteer and EFCST staff member with a handmade, purple ninja.

It looks like we could get enough Purple Ninjas donated for the Camp Brainstorm Plushie Drive, that I may be able to save all of the other (animals, dolls, etc) goodies coming in for individual and facility requests. That would be awesome! So far we have 26 sewn, knitted and crocheted ninjas which means, [...]
