Donations to Help Alzheimer's Disease Prevention with Purchase of Exclusive Collectible Lynn Haney Santa Figure from Laurel Ridge Christmas

With any purchase of the 2006 Laurel Ridge Christmas exclusive Lynn Haney "Woodland Redbirds", donate $25.00 from your purchase to fight Alzheimer's.

(PRWEB) November 5, 2006 -- The charity collaboration of Santa-smith, Lynn Haney and Laurel Ridge (http://laurelridgechristmas.com/santas.htm) founder, Barbara Crozier to raise funds for an Alzheimer's cure has created some surprising results along with the great exclusive Lynn Haney Santas they continue to create together. This year's exclusive Lynn Haney Santa "Woodland Redbirds" is the perfect example of their creative collaboration. "Woodland Redbirds" is not only generating $25.00 for Alzheimer's research with each and every sale, but it inspired a complete new look for the laurelridgechristmas.com home page and easier shopping for Lynn Haney Santas online.

For almost thirty years, Laurel Ridge has been known as a great American antique store that literally transforms into a Christmas Wonderland each September. Laurel Ridge (http://laurelridgechristmas.com/santas.htm) was one of the very first to offer their delightful Christmas treasures in an online format, laurelridgechristmas.com. The store, in the small central Texas town of Gonzales, fills the rooms of the historic turn-of-the century home of Crozier's mother with not only exclusive Lynn Haney Santas, but a complete line of Lynn Haney Father Christmases and Santa Clauses (http://laurelridgechristmas.com/santas.htm), both current and retired; ornaments by the thousands from Christopher Radko, Old World, Faberge, Jay Strongwater and several lines they import directly. They also offer the most glorious nativities to be found in the entire world.

Aside from their reputation for seeking out fabulous Christmas treasures, today Laurel Ridge (http://laurelridgechristmas.com/santas.htm) is gaining a reputation of another kind…one for tirelessly combating Alzheimer's and championing involved geriatric care through efforts just like the creation of "Woodland Redbirds". The original collaborative design for Laurel Ridge's first exclusive charity Lynn Haney Santa "Journey Home" was completed during the final days of her Mom's brave struggle in 2004. That synchronistic timing drove everyone at Laurel Ridge to feel they could and would generate enough money and energy to cure the disease overnight. That hasn't happen, yet. But, this year as Crozier and Lynn Haney set about their work on this season's exclusive charity piece, "Woodland Redbirds" (http://laurelridgechristmas.com/santas.htm), visions of research dollars still dance in their heads. They know that with every dollar donated from the sale of each Lynn Haney Santa, "Woodland Redbirds", we are one step closer to a cure.

No gift is ever insignificant. Each and every time someone like the folks at Laurel Ridge dream up an idea that focuses a little extra effort, time, love, or money to make the world a better place, it becomes one. With your purchase of the 2006 Laurel Ridge exclusive Lynn Haney "Woodland Redbirds" (http://laurelridgechristmas.com/santas.htm) you will be donating $25.00 from your purchase to fight Alzheimer's. Together, our gifts can and do change things. Who knows, maybe we'll catch world attention and raise all those research dollars Crozier continues to envision.

Go to www.laurelridgechristmas.com to purchase the Laurel Ridge exclusive Lynn Haney Santa "Woodland Redbirds" and know that your full $25.00 donation will be gratefully accepted to help the fight against Alzheimer's Disease.
