NEW MOON PARTY REMINDER

There are 37 Days left until New Moon opens.

There are 41 Days until our New Moon benefit PAR-TAY!

Tickets are still available to the PARTY. So! If you can't find tickets to opening night (which you probably can't because most places have been sold out for a month now) then call us at Sweetbriar Cove 801-423-1876 or email coltonsangels@gmail.com and get your tickets to the benefit PARTY!

Even if you have tickets for opening night you should still come to our party because it is going to be AWESOME! We have a TON of door prizes. And everyone gets a gift, too, for donating to the two wonderful causes.

Which causes, you ask? Well I will tell you!!

BORTO DESERET ORPHANAGE is an orphanage in Liberia (Africa) that is home to 40+ children who cannot be adopted because of Liberia's government rules. Their needs are incredibly basic: FOOD, CLOTHING, and MEDICINE.

COLTON'S ANGELS is a group of women who provide an annual scholarship to a graduating high school senior attending the auto mechanics program at a local college. This year they are entering a tree in the Festival of Trees (proceeds from the sale of the tree go to Primary Children's Hospital). They also have been gathering and/or making blankets, stuffed animals, coloring books and crayons, and other comfort items for a local hospital to distribute to children and families receiving treatment.

SO! Come party with us on the 24th of November!!! We're going to be wearing our red, white and black attire, deciding whether we are TEAM EDWARD or TEAM JACOB (or BOTH! in my case haha), enjoying a great movie based on a FABULOUS book (if you haven't read it yet, you should), and helping out TWO wonderful causes.

If you haven't seen all three trailers, then check them out below! (#2 is AWESOME, so is #3!!!)

NEW MOON PARTY

We are so excited to finally be able to announce our Twilight Saga: New Moon party!!!

On Tuesday, November 24, 2009 we will host two screenings of the highly anticipated second installment in the Twilight series: New Moon. Tickets will be $30 and include your movie ticket, concessions, a souvenir, and a donation to two very worthy causes: Colton's Angels and the Borto Deseret Orphanage.


The Borto Deseret Orphanage is located in Liberia, and is home to many orphaned and abandoned children, who need basic things such as clothing, food, medicine, and beds. Donations to the orphanage go to purchase these items.


Donations to Colton's Angels go to the Festival of Trees and annual Colton Ray Stewart scholarship fund.

If you would like more information, please contact us at coltonsangels@gmail.com

Salem Days Quilt Show Raffle

On August 8, 2009 we held a raffle at the Salem Days Quilt Show in Salem, UT. Proceeds from the raffle went toward our Festival of Trees fund. We were able to raise a lot of money thanks to the generosity of the many people who donated. We raffled off 5 quilts and a silk flower arrangement. One of the quilts was designed, pieced, and quilted in memory of Colton.

With the money we raised from the raffle we were able to purchase most of the items needed for our Festival of Trees display. Our tree will be on display at the Festival of Trees in Sandy, UT on December 1st, and is called "Our Guitar Hero". It is Guitar Hero/Rock Band themed, as Colton was a drummer in a local band, the Boneyard Daddies, and was the best Guitar Hero/Rock Band player we knew. The Festival is open to the public starting on the 2nd, and runs until the 5th at the South Towne Expo Center.


To obtain a bid number for the auction on December 1st, contact the Festival. Their number is available under the FAQ on their website.

Colton's Angels Scholarship Award

On May 19, 2009 Colton's Angels awarded our first scholarship. Jase D. of Spanish Fork High School received a $1000 scholarship to use toward the auto mechanic program at Utah Valley University.

The award was presented by Gayle and Angie, Colton's mom. Before presenting the scholarship, Gayle talked about our group, and how we had started Colton's Angels several months after Colton's passing as a way to keep ourselves busy and provide friends and family with some comfort. After about one meeting, we as a group decided to focus our energy and efforts into providing a scholarship in Colton's name for someone who had as much passion for auto mechanics as Colton did, and wanted to pursue it as a career.

Who are we?

This group came about after our friend's son Colton spent time, and eventually passed away in the hospital. We decided that we wanted to help bring comfort to other families that had to spend time at the hospital, in stressful circumstances.

We are just a group of ladies that meet monthly to make comfort items to distribute to local hospitals. Some of these items include:

*Stuffed animals
*Coloring Books and Crayons.
*Quilts and blankets
*Blankets for fetal demise.
*Activity books for pediatrics.

We hope to provide a scholarship in Coltons name, and also participate in the Festival of Trees.
