WRAPPED IN L.O.V.E.
Our Common Threads Joined to Each Other
Come Together As a Worldwide Hug to the Jackson Family
Get Your Patch In A One-Of-A-Kind Patchwork Blanket
For Michael’s Children and His MotherÂ
We are proud to announce an exciting new project called Wrapped in L.O.V.E. Our dot member Michelle Gold recently presented an idea to us to commemorate the first anniversary of Michael’s passing.
With YOUR participation, we are creating four unique patchwork blankets -one for each of Michael’s children and the fourth for his mother Katherine – which will be presented to them byJune 25, 2010. The Tribute has a relationship with the Jackson family and so we will be able to guarantee that they will receive the blankets personally.
Not only are these blankets special gifts, they are also a way for us to raise funds for Michael’s Tribute. Apart from some minor expenses, one hundred percent of the proceeds from this project will be used to support Michael’s Tribute Portrait and website.
For the small price of $20, you will be able to buy a patch, in your name, in the blanket of your choice. There are only 304 patches available per blanket, so we have set a limit of one patch per person per blanket. You may, however, buy a patch in more than one blanket if you choose to.
Your first name will be beautifully handwritten on your patch by our talented patchwork volunteers who are making the blankets, and we will create a registry for each blanket that will include your full name, dot number, username and what country you are from. These registries will accompany the blankets when they are presented. Michael’s family will then have a record of everyone whose patch is sewn into their particular blanket. You will be able to fill out this information when you buy your patch from our online Store on the website.
We are also giving everyone who purchases a patch the opportunity to send a greeting card or note. These will also accompany the blankets and should be addressed to whoever’s blanket you have purchased a patch in – Prince, Paris, Blanket or Katherine. You can mail your cards and notes to:
Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait
P.O. Box 280174
Northridge, CA 91328
Please include your full name, dot number, username and which blanket your patch will be placed in. (Only those cards that have a corresponding patch ordered will be delivered.)
For everyone who gets a patch, you will be given a special Wrapped in L.O.V.E. Badge, which will be prominently displayed on your profile. We will also be posting photographs of the finished blankets on the website and you can add these to your profile as well. This is our gift to you in thanks for your support of this project for Michael’s mother and children, the Tribute Portrait and website.
The last day to buy patches will be May 1. This is to allow our volunteers time to complete the blankets in time for delivery. Your patch is not placed in the blanket until you order it.
Michael loved his fans, and through these gifts his children and mother, Katherine, will see how much we love him back. When they wrap these soft and warm blankets around them, they will know they are surrounded by this love from all the fans, which has been sewn together with aCommon Thread to give them a Worldwide Hug. It is also a special opportunity for us to connect to each other through our patches, as we have through our dots in Michael’s Portrait.
