Valentine Donor Form (pdf)

HELP! HELP! BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! For the last six years we have had such a fantastic response to our request for valentines that we would like to invite you to participate.

The Valentine’s Day Project of distributing valentines to pediatric patients at the University of Michigan Health System began in 1998 when 12,658 valentines were collected and distributed to 316 pediatric inpatients and outpatients. The project has grown tremendously! Would you believe? Last year by including our adult inpatient and outpatient populations as well as motor meals we distributed 141,893 valentines, place mats, tray favors, etc. to 3,167 individuals.

LET’S INCREASE OUR VALENTINE NUMBERS THIS YEAR! It would be soooo wonderful if we could extend the valentine project to other pediatric populations and have the valentine envelopes and gift bags filled with valentines. As children are signing valentines for classmates, could they sign (first name only) a few extra for our patients. Employees, youth, adults, schools, churches, and community organizations are also welcome to participate.

For your reference and distribution, fliers and a donor form are availabale listing additional valentine projects plus more details regarding delivery. Please note that there are fliers for two valentine programs – Cancer Center Valentine’s Day Gift Bags for 325 adult cancer patients and Valentines and More Valentines Envelopes for 3,000 adult and pediatric inpatients and outpatients at the University of Michigan Health System. You’ll notice that this year we won’t be collecting decorated shoeboxes due to space limitations but will be packaging in gift bags and large envelopes. Please help us spread the word! Happy Valentine’s Day!

If your area has special holiday gift ideas and you would like them displayed on this page, please send updates to csjessie@umich.edu.
