It feels so good to help DO good!
Larger Than Life prints was contacted by Ronald McDonald House Charities in Tampa Bay, Florida. They were planning their annual Spring gala, the Storybook Ball, and were looking for something new and different to include in their decor. They had discovered our “Wanted poster” template and decided it was a perfect vehicle to help spread their message. When they sent us the details for the posters, we have to admit to getting misty eyes. Printing a poster for a little boy who “wants” a new heart is 
a little heartbreaking. But every cloud does have a silver lining! We were being given an opportunity to be a part of a magical night that raises money to help sick children and their families.
“Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Tampa Bay provides comfort and care to children and their families by supporting local Ronald McDonald Houses®, its cornerstone program, and by making grants to other local not-for-profit organizations that help children in need. The Ronald McDonald House® of Tampa Bay provides a home-away-from-home for families of pediatric patients in area hospitals.” The Storybook Ball is one of their major fundraisers and we had been asked to provide posters that would help with those fundraising efforts.
Alison Barrick of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Tampa Bay had this to say about Larger Than Life prints, the Wanted posters and the Storybook Ball
“The Wanted Posters that LTL Prints provided for our Storybook Ball, Lasso the Moon, were a huge hit in our silent auction room. Our event decorator was extremely impressed with the quality and look, and all of the guests raved about how perfect they were for our event. We plan to keep them for years to come! Thank you LTL Prints for providing us with such an outstanding product at an unbelievable price.”
It always feels good to have satisfied customers but knowing that we contributed to this very worthwhile charity having a successful fundraising event is an awe inspiring experience. It does feel so good to help DO good!

This is so great! A simple LTLprints product is actually helping fund-raise money for children in-need, and on top of that, it’s a brilliantly simple poster with clear message.
Thumbs up!!

That was an excellent post, and you are so right there is nothing better than doing something good for someone else, it just makes you feel better as a person.
