  DAY ONE.

 

Breanna {mommy of two and married to her best friend} of Pretty Please, has partnered with Rohr Rockstars to create a custom-designed Rockstar Party Package.

Do you know a rockstar in your life who deserves to be celebrated?

We just celebrated our little man turning two and invited all of his rockstar buddies.
The invitations were adorable, and the coordinating decorations were perfect.  
 

 

Table tents identified microphone cupcakes, CD sugar cookies, tortilla chip guitar pics, and pretzel rod drum sticks.  Cupcake toppers stood boldly from the cupcakes.  SWAG bags were stuffed with pretzel rod drum sticks, autograph cards and pens, Starburst candy, rockstar stickers, Rohr Rockstar car decals, and a special favor bag tag. And personalized Thank You notes will be mailed out this week.  The kids rocked out on a special rockstar stage and this 'mamarazzi' loved how all the details came together.

In addition to Breanna's creativity and accomodating spirit, she has generously offered to donate 10% of any sale that results from a Rohr Rockstar relationship.
{Check out some of my favorite Christmas card designs below.}

All you have to do is put "Rohr Rockstars" in your note to the seller (on her Etsy page) at the time of purchase, and she will take care of the rest.

Walking Feet

A truly inspiring day ... 

During today's Walk for Hope, 874 collective miles 

were walked by CCDS Middle School 

students and faculty to honor those affected by cancer.

Proceeds of the day {over $2,400!} benefit Levine Children's Hospital
Rockstar Fund.

i am a rockstar.

are you?

Walk for Hope

"More than 500 Charlotte Country Day School staff and students in grades five through eight will participate in the second annual Walk for Hope at the school’s middle school campus, 5936 Green Rea Road" on Monday, November 21.

""While the Walk for Hope will financially benefit an area of pediatric cancer, I really wanted to make this a teaching moment for our students," Trish Rohr said in a news release. The proceeds go directly to Levine Children’s Hospital Rockstar Fund to aid in the education of children getting treatment at the hospital."

Carolina Blue Blessings for Perry

Regardless of college affiliations, pull out your Carolina Blue {or anything light blue} and wear it tomorrow {Thursday, November 17, 2011} to support Perry, a rockstar in her own right.  From the time she was born, Perry started receiving laser therapy to treat the retinoblastoma tumors that had formed in both of her eyes; she endured brain surgery, pneumonia, and a medically induced coma for 19 days all before she was three.  Perry is now 11 years old, and she will have another extensive surgery tomorrow to remove a bone tumor in her leg.  Her recovery will be lengthy and followed by additional rounds of chemo.

Please take a few minutes tomorrow to snap a picture of yourself, your children, the Carolina blue sky, or anything else that is light blue, and say a quick prayer for Perry.  Email your pictures and support to trish@rohrrockstars.org.  Throughout the day, we'd love to pour out blue blessings on Perry's family in NYC.  

To read about the beginnings of Perry's journey {back in 2000}, visit here.  To see updated pictures of Perry and her family, visit here.

Praying joy, hope and strength for Perry and her family...

Rockstar Michael

 

{Michael}

Role Model 

Rockstar 

 In Remission

 

Hey there, Rockstar Nation. I just wanted to let you all know how thankful we are that Michael is one of your Rohr Rockstars! Michael was diagnosed with a form of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma back in February and is currently in remission and doing really well. Since we met Trish, she has played such a huge role in helping to get Michael back on track after all of the months of school that he missed while receiving chemo. We meet with Miss Steffanie often (BEST TUTOR EVER) and sweet Trish has spent a lot of time meeting with Michael's teachers and school administration to provide guidance during his transition back to school. Today was a great victory for Michael. Today was his first parent teacher conference of the school year. The teacher's words... "Michael is having a great year. He is meeting all of his grade level expectations and he is showing consistent progress in all areas of school. (This next part is my favorite...) He is gaining more confidence in himself and shares great ideas in class. The other students look up to him." She also handed me his report card which was just AWESOME!!! As I read it, I could hear the choir singing the Hallelujah chorus in the background. Trish, Miss Steffanie, and all of you Rohr Rockstar supporters, I can't thank you enough for all that you do. My son is healthy, happy and loves school. I will be forever grateful to you all!!!

Sincerely,
Michael's mom, Shannon

P.S. Today Michael had his monthly checkup and everything looked great. Still rockin it out in REMISSION. GO MICHAEL... YOU'RE A ROCKSTAR!!!

Fight Like a Girl

A BIG FAT YELLOW FAVOR

from Rohr Rockstars Founder:

Hey everyone,

Our Rockstar Claire is having very risky, very important surgery tomorrow to try to remove as much of her tumor as possible. Her family is with her in Philadelphia, facing tomorrow with strength, courage, and faith.

I would love to send her Dad, Kevin, emails throughout the day with pictures attached of anything and everything YELLOW (you can even write encouragement to the family if you like!) If you can wear yellow - snap a photo and send it to me (you can even write a note of encouragement, a prayer - whatever you like!) Dress up the kids - snap a photo. See a yellow flower - snap a photo. Draw a picture with a yellow marker - snap a pic!

Email everything to me at trish@rohrrockstars.org and I will send them all day long (I hope!!!!).

If we can go through our day tomorrow, capturing everything YELLOW and then send them to the Ratliff family, they can feel the love and prayers radiating like a big yellow STRONG sun all the way from Charlotte!

Think how much one small act tomorrow - an image of yellow - will mean to this family.

Thanks so so much!

xoxo

A Perfectly Perrywinkle Partnership

As we grow the foundation, share the mission, and strive for brand awareness, we have excitedly partnered with several talented and generous artists.  Perry Swenson Livonius of Perfectly Perrywinkle is a new friend of the Rockstars.  Once you meet her, you will love her!

From Perry:  

After recently getting married, I have new hopes for the future:  to start a family and give back to the community.  I retired from competitive golf after playing professionally for six years on the LPGA/LPGA Futures Tour.  Though I still keep a busy schedule on the golf course playing at charity golf outings and pro-ams, I started Perfectly Perrywinkle as a fun hobby and creative outlet.  Not only can my unique custom-made headbands make a fashion statement, but also they can be a platform to help raise awareness about charities that are close to my heart.  I am committed to supporting Folds of Honor Foundation and Rohr Rockstars by donating a portion of the profits from the sales of my headbands to these organizations.  Recently, it was my privilege to design "The Rockstar Collection" for Rohr Rockstars.  It is my hope that the young girls and women who wear my headbands will understand that they, too, are rockstars ... helping to empower children facing cancer and other long term illnesses to reach their academic goals.  

Enjoy a special sneak peek of Rockstar headbands ... soon available to you.

Check out Perfectly Perrywinkle's Etsy shop.  The Rockstar Collection has not yet officially been released, but Perry has generously committed to donating 50% of her profits from the sales of this special collection to Rohr Rockstars.  You rock, Perry!

Rockstar Isabella

 Isabella Santos is a girly-girl!

She only likes to wear dresses, skirts, and cute shoes.

She enjoys being a Mommy to her American Girl dolls.

She loves her kitty Jake.

Pink and purple are her favorite colors.  

Her dreams are selfless and big.

"I want there to be no more cancer! 

I want kids to be able to play and go to school, 

not be in the hospital feeling sick."

Isabella knows what it is like to live with cancer, to miss school, to feel sick.  She has been fighting cancer for four years.  In October 2007, when Isabella was 2, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma.  Since then she has received many rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, experimental treatments, and surgery.  She has been declared disease free several times, but she has relapsed several times.  Isabella is a fighter.  Her doctors lovingly refer to her as the "girl with nine lives". 

We think she is a ROCKSTAR in the biggest and best sense of the word.

 

 Rockstar Isabella and her kitty, Jake

To follow Isabella's journey, visit her CaringBridge site.  Or visit The Isabella Santos Foundation page.  Through the foundation, this ROCKSTAR family and its supporters have raised over $140,000 for Neuroblastoma research and organizations like The Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte and The Make A Wish Foundation.
