A first-responder calendar hanging in the house

In honor of · in memory of

Start with the keepsake. A face. A name. Funds for the work.

Illness groups buy memorials more than calendars. A $14.95 ornament or magnet — group keeps $5 — is the lead. Calendar and shirt are still here if you want the year on the wall. Permission on every photo. No public vote on anyone’s diagnosis.

Three campaigns. That is the whole menu.

Pick the fundraiser. Same photo machine.

Hickory Farms and Yankee Candle sell a catalog. That is one campaign with a hundred SKUs. Groups freeze. We run three photo campaigns a group can rotate — calendar, shirt, keepsake. Not five. Not one.

How it works

The group gathers. We press.

  1. You gather photos Survivors who want to be seen, staff, the event — only with permission. Never a surprise medical photo.
  2. We build one campaign Your group name on the cover. Optional sponsor pages from clinics and local shops.
  3. Supporters order A private shop. Families buy copies. We print and ship.
  4. The cause gets paid $8 back per calendar or shirt, $5 a keepsake. Research, rides, the foundation — your call.

Who it’s for

Anyone raising money around illness — not a costume.

Hospital foundations

A year on the wall that is the people, not a stock sunset. Sponsors from the medical campus.

Disease and survivor groups

Cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart, rare disease. One campaign the members will actually hang.

Local care nonprofits

Hospice, recovery, caregiver groups. Honest fundraising. No fake contest on a diagnosis.

Why this is honest

Dignity first. No stock “fighter” art.

We do not sell pink-ribbon clip-art. Each campaign belongs to the group that asked. Photos people agreed to. Names they approve. We will not run a public vote on anyone’s illness.
