Dear Project Sweet Peas Family, 

We had an amazing working weekend in Pittsburgh: brainstorming, sharing ideas, and planning for PSP's 10th year.

One feeling that continually made it's way to the surface was gratitude. We truly are so deeply grateful for the amazing work our Project Sweet Peas family does. Your impact over the past year has been tremendous. These numbers don't lie. 

I hope you take pride in all that we have accomplished, together.

This past year:

• We donated over 450 mamaRoos
• We came together to celebrate NICU Awareness Month with hundreds of thousands of others
• Some of us even dressed up like an Easter bunny or Santa Claus
  
• We launched a sibling support program
  
• We celebrated NICU grads in the sweetest way
  
• We randomly decided to jump on planes to connect with one another
  
• We helped families in deep grief have a tangible connection to their baby forever
  
• Gina and Megan got to check riding in a mamaRoo off their bucket list
  
• We convened the hearts and hands of hundreds of volunteers to give back
  
• We even convinced hundreds of people to jump into freezing water in the middle of winter
  

We directly impacted an astounding 25,000 families 
....and inspired probably far many more 

The future is looking so bright for us, and our families. 

Our 10th year is going to be BIG. Think Birthday Bashes and product development, 10th birthday logos, and lots of swag. And you all will be such a big, important part of it. 

I can't wait to share more.

Now comes the part where we actually had to sit down, and really think about what we wanted to do to help promote the efficiency and effectiveness of our programming. What can we do to honor our mission and make sure we are upholding it? Where can we dedicate our time and resources to help our divisions and PSP as a whole community?

​Think 10th birthday campaign. grantmaking. corporate relationship building. And yes, policy revisions.
​
I hope you will review the following revisions from our handbook with the understanding that with growth and expanded opportunities, we have to continue to make sure we are stewarding our resources as best as we can.

We are a tiny, but MIGHTY team.

Thank you for all that you have done, and will continue to do, to support, love, and care for PSP families.

All of the best,

​Sarah
