Tanner's
High Fives
Whenever our young friend Tanner thought people did something
really awesome, he'd give them
a high five. So, in his memory, we'd like to give Tanner's High Fives to everyone whose energy, enthusiasm, and dedication make it possible for us to help kids and families. * We'd like to thank Board Member Talin Conti, Emma, the Manager of the Plainview Burger King, and TJ Della Monica, the Manager of the Floral Park store, for making Lexie's Kids Benefit Night possible.
*An extra-special High Five goes out to 5th grader Sophia Suazo from Kramer Lane Elementary School. Sophia donated her own money (in coins) to the Burger King event.
* Kudos to Volunteer Coordinator Jen Shanahan and our friend Christian for making the Local Bar and Grill event possible.
*Our thanks go out to Marci and Aret Dulgerian for donating money in lieu of favors at the Christening of their daughter, Lauren Eleni. |

Dear Friends,
Can you believe the Holidays are already here? With all of the shopping, decorating, wrapping and rushing, it's easy to lose sight of what's really important.
Here at The Lexiebean Foundation, we know how challenging this time of year can be for kids with cancer and their families. That's why we're so grateful to all of the people who continue to support us in a number of imaginative ways.
On October 15, we had our Local Bar and Grill Fundraiser in Bayside, New York followed by our Lexie's Kids Benefit Night Burger King Fundraiser in November. Both events were unqualified successes: everyone had a wonderful time, and both events raised a combined total of $4200!
Speaking of wonderful events, Santa Claus is coming to Papa Razzi Trattoria-Bar in Westbury on December 11 and December 18. It's that time of year when Papa Razzi's has their annual Breakfast with Santa, and they're hosting a toy drive that will benefit The Lexiebean Foundation. Make sure you stop by and please bring a toy with you too!
Are you looking for gifts that will make the people you love happy and also promote our cause? Don't forget to check out our new apparel, available on our website. Plus, learn how you can do all of your holiday shopping and help us out at the same time.

Finally, from all of us at The Lexiebean Foundation, we wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday season.
All the best,
Your friends at The Lexiebean Foundation

Lexie's Corner
 Inspiration and Motivation for those touched by cancer
12 Ways to Help Kids with Cancer & Their Families This Holiday Season - While you're shopping, pick up gifts for Mom and Dad to give to their kids.
- Ask the patient's mom and dad if they'd like you to take over the task of creating a family Christmas card for them.
- If they've already got cards but no time to address and mail them, offer to do it for them.
- Decorate the outside of the house for them, so that they can feel cheered up by the festive decorations and colorful lights.
- If indoor decorating is more your thing, put up their Christmas tree and indoor decorations.
- Take siblings out shopping with you so you can help them get gifts for their parents, siblings, friends and teachers.
- Throw a "gift wrapping party" and wrap all of their presents for them.
- Leave extra gift-wrap, gift bags, tape and ribbons for them in case they want to wrap some last minute gifts themselves.
- Show up at the hospital with decorations for the room. A small Christmas tree, some twinkling lights, and some fun ornaments will go a long way toward making your beloved patient feel remembered, and a part of the festivities.
- Make a batch of Christmas cookies and drop them off at the hospital or at home for the whole family.
- Drive the siblings to afterschool parties or get-togethers that they might have to otherwise miss.
- Cook and deliver an entire Christmas dinner so that the family can just relax and enjoy each other.
