[Phar26] Amy's Rays of Sunshine Outreach

[Beatty, Allison]

Hello Future Pharmacists,

NCODA will be doing an outreach project for Amy's Rays of Sunshine.  Amy's
Rays of Sunshine provides encouragement, positivity, and hope to young
adult patients during bone marrow transplants by giving them a box of
handwritten cards, notes, and other items during this physically and
emotionally challenging time. We have placed card stock and markers in the
front of each class for easy participation. If you do not feel like writing
a card, you can pick one up from the store and we will include it in the
box. We will collect cards until January 17th to present them to
Mrs.Rewerts at our Monthly meeting.

The organization does have a few guidelines for cards and they're listed
below:

   - Cards can be store-bought or handmade
   - Please keep cards encouraging and uplifting. Some patients will be
   experiencing a long duration of treatment and unknown outcomes.
   - Please avoid phrases like "Get well soon" or "Feel better"
   - Please avoid giving medical advice or treatment suggestions
   - Cancer does not discriminate by gender, beliefs, or race and neither
   do we! Please keep your cards inclusive to all.
   - You are welcome to include inspiring quotes, funny jokes (humor is
   always appreciated!), or little pieces of yourself.
   - Here are some great examples of messages: Stay strong/ You are
   awesome/ I hope you have a good day/ You are amazing/ You are brave/ I
   believe in you
   - Feel free to write as much or as little as you want and include your
   first name and where you're from if you're comfortable doing so. Cards and
   messages can be short or long - anything is appreciated!
   - Each card does not need to be in an envelope. This helps us ensure a
   variety of cards in each Rays of Sunshine box.


We hope you participate in our outreach and have a good week,
--
