Scotty Sacks

Scott's dream was to give comfort to children going through brain cancer treatment. With the help of our friends, volunteers and myself, we have given life to Scott's dream. We needed a kid friendly logo, Scott loved and raised many squirrels. A well known artist donated his time, he incorporated Scott's features and created a kid friendly squirrel. We then started working with a toy company and Scotty Squirrel was born April 2011. Scotty Squirrel is a brave squirrel he brings along comfort items and things that helps pass the time while going through treatments.

Scotty Sacks

Saturday was the Miles For Hope walk. Our team "Steps For Scott" braved the cold weather and trust me it was cold. Our team raise a total of 2,410.00, we rocked. Our youngest team members were McKenzie and Addison @ just 3 months old. Skylar was so proud to walk for her Pappy and everything had to say I wear Grey for my Pappy. Skylar finished the 5K on Uncle Dave's shoulders. She was proud to receive her medal at the finish line.


We handed out Scotty Sacks to 4 great brave kids. This is what goes into a Scotty Sack w/ a card that reads Scotty Squirrel is a brave squirrel, he found that this sack gave him comfort when he was going through treatments. Scotty Squirrel loves to play games while waiting on his medicine to finish. The medicine makes Scotty Squirrel very thirsty so he drinks lots of water. Sometimes the medicine makes Scotty Squirrel's tummy not feel so well but, Scotty Squirrel found these magical peppermint sticks makes his tummy feel better. We hope that the things in Scotty's Sack gives you as much comfort as it does Scotty Squirrel.

As we were handing out the sacks we watched as one of the little girls rolled down a green grassy hill, laughing as she ran back up it to roll down it again. Truly a beautiful vision to be left with.
