Summer 2024 Drive

---

 We are so excited to announce our Summer 2024 Drive in partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital! The items on the Wishlist were both handpicked by the child life team at Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and TCBF. This drive, donors will also have the chance to choose their own items to be shipped to TCBF Headquarters. We are focusing on pre-teen and teen items because child life manager, Courtney, informed us that this is the age demographic in most need of donations. Click our Amazon Wishlist (in the caption of our bio or by scanning our QR code with another device) and be sure to click The Chloe Belle Foundation address when checking out. You can add items of your choice as well in the cart. All donations must abide by the guidelines set forth by the child life team (please see second slide). The Chloe Belle Foundation team will be heading to Brooklyn and dropping off all the donations on September 25th, 2024. Thank you so much to all our donors for their continued support and love. Because of you, we get to honor Chloe. It is everything to us. Thank you!

After much consideration, our next fundraiser, (most of the funds collected recently by donors/what’s left over from our Eighties Beach House Collection will go to this as well), will be to donate a beach wheelchair to the Long Beach Township Beach Patrol Beachwheels program.

Remi (President of TCBF) had the opportunity to speak with Gregory Stagliano, Assistant Administrative Clerk Beach Wheels/Director Long Beach Township Beach Patrol. She learned more about the program and Greg’s personal experience being an attendant (meaning dropping off/picking up). He has experienced delivering beach wheelchairs to people who were close to dying and wanted to see the beach for the last time. This story affected Remi as we all know it was Chloe’s last wish to go to LBI one more time. If she was able too, she would have needed to use this program as she was paralyzed at the end of her life. This is an incredible program that is offering accessibility to people living on and visiting LBI in so many ways.

Chloe loved LBI, the beach and would have been a recipient of this program. This program allows people of all ages who are wheelchair bound or are unable to walk long lengths, including people with cancer, to experience the joy of the beach. This fundraiser honors Chloe while helping and bringing joy to people with cancer/people going through what Chloe went through. This is why we feel this fundraiser perfectly fits our mission.

In order to purchase a full beach wheelchair, we will need to fundraise about $1400 (this price includes delivery). There is also another type of wheelchair called a Hippocampe chair - this chair would be about $4,050. If we can’t reach our goal of purchasing a full chair, they also accept monetary donations that go towards replacement: cushions, safety belts/harnesses, tires, umbrellas, just to name a few items. So, our goal is to purchase a complete wheelchair in honor of Chloe for the LBTBP Beachwheels program but any amount we fundraise will be so appreciated and will go towards the program! @lbtbeachpatrol @longbeachtownship
