🚨REMINDER🚨
The Black Balloon Project, Inc. annual event is this coming Saturday 🖤🎈

If you plan on donating anything, please get with me or Glenda Holder so we can arrange pickup.

We truly appreciate everyone who has donated so far — we wouldn’t be able to honor Shawn the way we do without all of your help and support.

If you’re planning on attending, let us know! We can carpool, and as always, we’ll be going to Ford's Garage afterward to eat together.

We look forward to seeing everyone again. Thank you so much for all the love and support — and a special thank you to Gabi Deaton who does an amazing job with this event every year. 💛

✔️ Bed-in-a-bag sets
✔️ Towels
✔️ Washcloths
✔️ Pillows
✔️ womens shampoo
✔️ men’s shaving cream
✔️ Bibles

Items we are still needing:
• Deodorant (men & women)
• Razors (men & women)
• Men’s shampoo
• Body wash (men & women)
• Feminine products (tampons / pads)
• Women’s shaving cream
• Cleaning supplies
• Fingernail clippers / manicure sets

If you would like to help contribute to these baskets, all donations are truly appreciated. Thank you for helping us continue to shine for Shawn and spread love, hope, and support to others. 💙✨

If you would like to attend with us, please let us know,
we are happy to carpool. 🚗
And as always, we’ll be making our traditional stop at Ford’s Garage on the way home for dinner 🍔❤️

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all of our friends, family, and followers for helping us achieve 2025 Best Cemetery in Bullitt County. This honor means more to us than words can express.

The Holder Family Cemetery is a place built on love, remembrance, and respect, and knowing our community sees and supports that means everything. Your votes, kind words, and continued support remind us why preserving and caring for this sacred place matters so deeply.

We are incredibly grateful to be surrounded by such an amazing community. Thank you for standing with us, believing in us, and helping us keep their memories alive. 💙🪽

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who came out to support our Christmas in Whoville celebration for Shine for Shawn ❤️🎄

Seeing our community come together—families laughing, kids smiling, vendors showing up with full hearts, and so much love filling the room—meant more than words can express. Your presence, generosity, and continued support help us keep Shawn’s light shining and honor his memory in the most beautiful way.

We are incredibly grateful for every volunteer, vendor, donor, sponsor, and every single person who walked through the doors. This event would not be possible without you. Thank you for believing in our mission and standing with us.

We will continue to shine for Shawn—today, tomorrow, and always ✨
