It was one of the most wonderful times of the year!

On Saturday, Dec 19 Camp Craig Allen had their annual Christmas party in a big way. It was combined together as not only a Christmas party, but also a Winterfest that included a sports clinic that allowed wheelchair hockey and basketball players to play on a full court!

“Having the whole NBA stadium for full court manual basketball then switching over to full court power wheelchair hockey was epic for our players,” says Dawn Cruzan president of Camp Craig Allen with excitement!! “Then we had dinner, gave away awesome raffle items, everyone got to meet the players then ended the party with incredible floor or suites seats for everyone to stay for the game! The Legends were the amazing host and it was an incredible opportunity to love on our players in this big way,” Cruzan adds!!!!

Before the wheelchair games began Turning Point, Mike Shipka/United Access, Generous George/Texas Legends were given awards of gratitude from Camp Craig Allen for their volunteer efforts and collaborative  partnerships:

What some of the hockey players had to say about the party!:

“After going to multiple Texas Legends games I felt honored to be able to come and play our first game on their court. It was great to play on a full size court. I really appreciate the hospitality of The Texas Legends and staff to not only allow us players to play but let Camp Craig Allen and each players Family have our Christmas Party on the ground floor plus invite us to their game after. Thank you Texas Legends and everyone involved for a great time,” said Justin Fetz!

“It was great to hold the event in Frisco at Dr. Pepper Arena. Thank you to The Texas Legends players and staff, our volunteers, and sponsors for helping make such a memorable event. We can’t wait to do it again next year,” said Laura Halvorson!

“It was really great playing in the stadium. It really brought the game to a new level. Can’t wait to do it again. Thank you everyone who made it possible,” said Charlie Hughes!

“I felt honored and proud to play a real game on an actual real court. This was my very first timeI Thanks to the Texas Legends and Sponsors for giving us this opportunity and experience of a lifetime! I hope we can do this many more times in the future! Go Legends,” Chris Fish said!

It was fun meeting and greeting everyone involved with the Texas Legends!

There you have it! A blast for everyone involved! I cannot believe this year is almost over! Thank you so much for listening to me ramble yet another year doing this blog! Hope that everyone stays safe and has a Happy New Year! Until 2016…

We hurt when they are hurting:(

Friends and family!

Two of our Camp Craig Allen families lost their homes to the tornados two nights ago. We are covering them in prayers and praising God that they are safe, however, they are still devastated. Being a part of Camp Craig Allen, each family is dealing with loss of medical equipment and have special needs.. Some that most people would not think about.

Some of our board members/volunteers/friends are spending the day with them, trying to help in any way they can. The best support we can give them at the moment is by way of WALMART EGIFT CARDS. This will go a long way in helping them with food, clothes, gas, etc.

Should you find it in your hearts to help, please consider sending them egift cards, directly to their email-

Glen Bentley and wife Linda: glendon.bentley@lspva.net

Catherine Jenkins and daughter, Amber: Catherinej618@yahoo.com

Thank you for your prayers! We love our families and hurt when they are hurting.

Rolling on, Stephanie

Amazon smiles for CCA! :)

Every time you shop at http://smile.amazon.com Amazon will give 0.5% of the sales to CCA 🙂 This is absolutely amazing especially for us folks who are unable to get out and do much shopping. Amazon has everything you could ever want, and the prices are not too shabby either🙂 See their I am already smiling! 🙂 I have already made a couple of purchases, and plan to make a few more for Christmas! Just to let you know one of the most excellent gifts(in my humble opinion) is a gift card from Amazon 🙂 This is so my peeps can get what they want instead of what you think & they would end up regifting at the next holiday party 🙂 Don’t act like you haven’t ever done that:) It is so easy breezy you can buy it and print it out on your computer:) If for someone you will not get to see them you can send it to them via email, no worries wasting money on a stamp:) You can never go wrong by doing this:) If this is something that you get this Christmas you can thank me later because who does not like to go shopping:) By giving to someone else you will also be giving to CCA, and it is perfectly fine to double dip on the giving:) It will make you feel good:)

Rolling Merry Christmas on, Stephanie:)
