Volunteers are needed to assist with the 2019 Pinky Swear Gingerbread Village in the Macy’s Court at Mall of America. Volunteers will be helping to collect information for those that write a letter of encouragement to a Pinky Swear All-Star via Google Form that Pinky Swear will have setup on iPads. This information will be sent to Santa who will then mail some special surprises courtesy of his friends at Mall of America. Volunteers will also oversee the gingerbread village in which Mall of America customers can place a bid on a gingerbread house. Volunteers are expected to be on-time and to be courteous to all of those at Mall of America: customers, staff and visitors. There are two time slots for the days:
10:00am-2:30pm and 2:30pm-7:00pm
Please go to https://secure.qgiv.com/event/939531/ and check out all of the volunteer times.

Mission Statement
Our mission at Pinky Swear is to help kids with cancer and their families with financial and emotional support with a vision of saying 'Yes!' to every family.
Description
Mitch was nine years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer. When he was in the hospital in December, he overheard the family next to him having a discussion that there would not be enough money for Christmas that year. Mitch looked at his dad and said, "This isn’t fair. How much money do I have in the bank?"
Steve helped Mitch into his wheelchair and took him to the bank. Mitch withdrew all the money he had in his savings account and put it in envelopes for the kids on the pediatric oncology floor at the hospital. He signed each envelope, "Love Mitch. XOXOXO"
Before nine-year-old Mitch Chepokas passed away, he made a pinky swear with his dad to continue to help children with cancer and their families.
Since his death in 2003, Pinky Swear Foundation has provided more than $16 million in financial assistance and quality of life support. We’ve helped thousands of families whose children are bravely battling cancer.
