The Gold Ribbon Collective

Sometimes, once the shock of the new bedroom wears off, it takes a day or two to notice all the little extras that happened along the way. ❤️

Thank you to Corbin Johnson of Flippy House Landscape & Design for freshening up the landscaping at Rachel’s home during her makeover weekend! 🌿

Here, at The GRC, our heart is to help these families in every way we can. The bedroom may be the big reveal, but sometimes it’s the little things surrounding it that can make life feel just a little lighter.

Thank you, Corbin, for helping us love on Rachel and her family a little extra!! 💕

And there’s more!!

Some pretty amazing local businesses and organizations helped make sure Rachel and her family had a special weekend of their own. 💛

🏨 JW Marriott Indianapolis gave their family a wonderful place to stay and, as always, treated them to truly top-notch hospitality!

🦒 The Indianapolis Zoo, 🦖 The Children's Museum of Indianapolis (Diane Asiala Hyatt with Old National Bank), and Birdies Grill House & Sports Bar ⛳️🍔provided tickets/dining vouchers so the family could get out at some point and explore, have fun, and enjoy some much-deserved time together.

SO thankful to have places right here in Indy willing to step in and help us create an entire experience for our Gold Ribbon families, not just a new bedroom.

If you’re local, or coming in town, and haven’t visited these incredible spots, add them to your list! They’re some of the experiences that make our city such a special place.😎

We’re incredibly grateful to each of you for being part of Rachel’s makeover experience and helping us create memories that went far beyond her bedroom makeover!

While our team was busy working behind the scenes on Rachel’s ✨DREAM✨ bedroom makeover, Rachel and her family got to enjoy a fun evening at an ⚾️Indianapolis Indian’s game, thanks to the incredible generosity of Meredith & Patty Hole, who donated their amazing tickets! 🧢 The best seats!

Rachel’s family even got to bring their neighbor along to join in on the fun!

We are so grateful for those who help us make the entire experience surrounding a bedroom makeover extra special for our families! Thank you, Meredith & Patty, for being a huge part of Rachel’s weekend and for helping us create another wonderful memory! 💓

What an amazing evening! 🍾🎉

A huge heartfelt 💓thank you to Missy Hiatt Llewellyn and Whitney Schmitt with Monkee's for so graciously opening their beautiful boutique doors 🚪 and allowing us to host a private fundraiser evening. Your generosity and hospitality helped make the evening SO special!

A huge thank you as well to Devan Lunceford with Totalis Real Estate Solutions for inviting so many wonderful friends to learn about our mission. We felt so honored for them to be spending their evening with us! We were also very grateful to welcome several other amazing guests who came out to support pediatric cancer patients.

One of the highlights of the evening was hearing from Luke, one of our DREAM ✨bedroom recipients. He shared his story with such courage and heart, and it was hard not to get emotional. Luke, thank you for reminding us why this mission matters. You know we love you!💓

And to Emily at Seasons 52, thank you for providing an INCREDIBLE dinner and dessert 🍨 as well as a wonderful “pop” in gourmet surprise 🍿by Venessa with Ocean Prime! We’re so grateful for businesses that believe in our mission and help us create such a special experience for our guests!

If you’ve ever thought about helping us make a difference, hosting an fun intimate evening like this is one of the easiest and most meaningful ways to do it. All we need is a couple of hours on a weekday evening. We provide everything, from the presentation to the food and refreshments, so you can simply invite your friends, relax, and enjoy the evening while helping us create more DREAM✨ bedroom makeovers for children battling pediatric cancer.🎗️

If you’d like to learn more about hosting a fundraiser, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can make an incredible impact with something as simple as this.

A huge thank you to Closet Concepts, Inc. for completely transforming Rachel's bedroom closet into a beautiful, functional space she'll be able to enjoy for years to come! We are incredibly grateful for your generosity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. A special thank you to Josh, whose outstanding installation work and willingness to give up his weekend morning to help make this dream a reality. Thank you both for making such a lasting impact on Rachel and her family!
(This closet has officially been promoted from a bit of Mom's Christmas storage to just clothes and smiles!😁)

A huge thank you to Lisa Braccia of The Elegant Ella for creating another amazing personalized pillow just for Rachel’s bedroom makeover as well as a custom Gold Ribbon puzzle 🧩 that all the volunteers signed!
