James Camden Sikes Fund

Kara and I are establishing a fund in James' name to direct resources towards research of rhabdoid tumors. In order to give to this fund, please click here. We would like to thank the Communities Foundation of Texas for helping us facilitate this goal. Donations are tax deductible. For those of you who would prefer to write checks, checks can be sent to:

Communities Foundation of Texas
James Camden Sikes Fund
5500 Caruth Haven Lane
Dallas, TX 75225.

Make checks payable to Communities Foundation of Texas, with James Camden Sikes in the designation line or memo line. We would appreciate gifts to this fund in lieu of flowers. James never cared much for flowers, but I do think he'd like to do something about rhabdoid tumors.

Thank all of you.

Cardboard box bedding

Dutch by Design, an online store for contemporary interior accessories from the Netherlands, recently announced a new product this autumn, the Home Duvet. The duvet is printed with a cardboard box pattern to raise awareness of homelessness, and 30% of gross profits from the sale will go to Centrepoint,a charity for homeless young people aged 16-25.




A representative says, "Although this is partly a charitable effort, we’re not letting that compromise the quality of product we’re supplying. The cotton has a thread count of 144 threads per square inch, so it feels soft to the touch. It’s long lasting, easy to clean and is virtually non-iron. We’ve taken care to source an ethical product, too: the duvet cover is produced in Pakistan and child labour is not used."
