T-shirts for Sey-J

With crayons and T-shirts, children at the Manassas Boys and Girls Club set out to honor the memory of one of their own Saturday afternoon.inflatable life jackets can inflate automatically when the life jacket hits the water.

In the club’s ceramics room, dozens of children used fabric crayons to decorate T-shirts for teddy bears and other stuffed animals that will be donated to children at the Children’s Hospital Oncology Unit.

The project was designed in memory of Sey-J Lansdowne, a Boys and Girls Club member who died of leukemia this summer.

“It’s in honor of him,” said Tina Murray, with the non-profit group Project Infusion,Looking for ED Hardy ,ED Hardy clothing and ed hardy wholesale. which helped to organize some of the day's activities. “I felt like we could do something to honor his memory.”

The workshop was offered as part of the fourth annual City Neighborhood Conference, a day-long event at the club that offered information and activities for Manassas children and adults.

“I was going to do something in his honor anyway,Well, if you can't squeeze into the Princess Leia gold bikini, consider The Wookiee Adidas Jacket. and this way it’s something the community can do,” said Murray, who is also Sey-J’s cousin.

Sey-J, 9, of Centreville, battled leukemia for three years before succumbing to the disease in July.

“He was a very, very special kid,From hand held inflatable products carrying your logo, to giant blimps, message boards and balloons for the large venues,” said Murray.

Sey-J’s family members and others will deliver the T-shirt-wearing stuffed animals to the hospital later this year,We also offer bounce house and inflatable bouncers rentals for your birthday party. Murray said.

While the children worked to decorate the T-shirts Saturday, a photo display of Sey-J playing football and soccer stood at one end of the room.

Before the activity started, a song that was written for Sey-J and played at his funeral was played.

The song mentioned the people Sey-J touched in his short life, including people at the Boys and Girls Club, and former Washington Redskins player Jason Campbell.

“I know one thing, Sey-J is OK,” the song said in part.

Saturday, the kids at the Boys and Girls club said they enjoyed making the T-shirts for stuffed animals that will go to other children.

“We’re making the T-shirts for the kids at the hospital who are sick so they can feel better,” said 6-year-old Jadah Jones.
