TNT is Getting Creative

C.U.M.F.O.R.T.S. blanket is proud to support the efforts of our Team in Training teammates. See this video that Bill Bolin put together.


Make donations to geeTEAM, and we promise to lay off the donuts (even though our friend Kim makes the best maple-bacon donuts this side of Jupiter!).

stay tuned!

Spring is here and we are cleaning house!

Spring is here and we are cleaning house! But more importantly, we are using this opportunity to support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

We are gathering our neighbors & friends and putting on a huge Community Garage Sale the weekend of May 21st and 22nd. The Community Garage Sale will take place along the 400 block of 31st Avenue, between Alameda de las Pulgas and Isabella Avenue (on 31st Avenue, between the Hillsdale Shopping Center and Hillsdale High School). Our goal is to raise $1,000 for LLS at our Weekend Garage Sale, and we need your help to make it happen!

All sales at 412 31st Avenue will be donated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We need your gently-used wares, if you would like to donate, please let us know. We also need your help:
  • Posting signs around your neighborhood & shopping center (color flyer, gray-scale flyer)
  • Spreading the word!
  • Setting up (Friday evening)
  • Setting up (Saturday morning, 6am)
  • Tearing down (Saturday afternoon, 3pm)
  • Setting up (Sunday morning, 6am)
  • Tearing down (Sunday early afternoon, 12pm)
  • Bringing un-sold items to Goodwill (Sunday, 1pm)

To RSVP to the event, please see our Evite, and let us know if you can help out! We look forward to seeing you there!

Making Progress: Thirty-six square inches at a time

Major updates...

Numero Uno: We have completed 100 Donor Medallions for PROJECT MATT! Now, to sew them all together, tie up some loose ends, and deliver the first C.U.M.F.O.R.T.S. blanket project to Matt and his family. Thank you to all of our Donors, this project would not have come to be without your warm hearts and well-wishes. We will be putting together the Project Book to deliver with Matt's blanket - Donors, please look out for an email in your inbox with directions on how you can leave a special message for Matt.

Numéro Deux: We have reached our fundraising goal for PROJECT ROB! We have successfully raised $1,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, in honor of Rob Randolph. Now that we are in the final construction stages of PROJECT MATT, we will soon begin constructing PROJECT ROB. We already have a few Donor Medallions completed! Please check back soon for photos - our blanket-making elf is a little camera-shy... but hopefully we can get her to sit still for a photo-op very soon...

Nummer Drei: Funds are being raised for our third blanket Project! We will be selecting an Honoree recipient soon, and we look forward to raising awareness and funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of our Honoree Teammate. Our goal is to raise $1,000 for LLS - help us finish our third project by making a donation at GeeTEAM's fundraising page, or by contacting Jessica directly.

We are very proud of geeTEAM's efforts - we are making great progress raising awareness and funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! We are well on our way to meeting our goals for the season. Keep up the great work everyone - and thank you for all of your support. Warm fuzzies to all of our teammates, donors, supporters, family, friends, and fans!

stay tuned!
