Smiley for Kylie Instagram

If you know Kylie, you know she loved penguins. Smile and waddle happy (at a safe distance) today on #worldpenguinday!
Somebody said it was National Dimple Day. You get those from smiling - so we’ve got that covered! Happy #dimpleday 😃
The show must go on... but not right now. Obviously, we won’t be able to have the Smiley for Kylie Cabaret. While we are disappointed, the downtime has given us more family time and some rest - we hope you have found silver linings, too. Smiley for Kylie has no employees and very few expenses - we will plug away at childhood cancer as soon as it is safe to do so. Our hearts go out to families fighting right now and those newly diagnosed. Please pray for them as they navigate treatment for these most-vulnerable children.
The day we created a CaringBridge page. Little child, born of faith, you are missed. Kylie’s Story Site created on April 9, 2014 After working for a month to find out what was wrong with Kylie's left leg, we got our answer on April 9th, 2014 and wish we could give it back. Kylie has Ewing's Sarcoma. I could try to explain it, but I honestly couldn't hear much of what the doctor said. My heart was beating too loud. All I know is that we know who the enemy is, and the fight starts now. Kylie has started her treatment at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. We covet your prayers for her as we begin this battle. After we cried and prayed together, she said, "God must have a great, big plan for me."
Today is Pi Day and Your Pie is open and selling pizza for $3.14! Each location is also partnering with a local charity and we’re honored that Your Pie on 141 (in front of Target) has selected Smiley for Kylie. So get a great pizza today and help us fight childhood cancer.
Kylie loved being on stage -- which is why we do a Smiley for Kylie Cabaret in her memory! We are currently looking for silent auction items for this year’s cabaret. If you own a business or frequent one, you can help by donating or asking for items or services. (The donor will get a tax receipt for the fair-market value.) Or you can purchase an item from our Amazon wish-list (link in bio) to be included in one of three auction baskets. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped us over the years raise money for childhood cancer research. As Kylie said, "I think that cancer should die, not the kids!"
We got so many notes and messages about the kind things people did yesterday. But it’s hard to beat the smiles from Kathleen & Anne as they handed us the $120.41 they made at their hot chocolate stand for a cure. 💛💛💛-is-melting!
Happy 18th Birthday, Kylie. Thank you all for supporting her fundraiser and for doing random acts of kindness in her memory. The world could use more joy and kindness!
Today would be Kylie’s 18th birthday and it is Kylie Day at Perimeter School. The focus of Kylie Day is spreading kindness like Kylie did in life. The kids wore yellow, learned about Kylie from Bailey, and most importantly, they were encouraged to do acts of kindness to others in Kylie's memory. Will you do it too? Kylie would love a kinder, gentler world - so do something kind today. Thank you to our beloved Perimeter School family for never forgetting our girl.
