Since established in 2014, Alex’s Army has provided over 1,200 care packages and over 400 prayer pillowcases to children fighting cancer and their families. Each of our prayer pillowcases are prayed over and handmade with love! They are embroidered with a bible verse and come packaged with a laminated bookmark that includes the entire prayer verse and is tied at the top with a gold ribbon, the symbol of childhood cancer.
There are many ways to help us with this project so that we can provide these pillowcases at minimal cost to our foundation so that we can continue to use a majority of our proceeds to fund research which is so desperately needed for our kids!
Think outside the box! Below are just a few ideas we’ve come up with but the options are endless:

- 100% Cotton or soft cotton blend
