Wonderland for Kids!

2006-08-08T08:40:00.000-05:00

Our visit to Bethesda and the Children's Inn this weekend blew us away! As you approach the lodge-like Inn a sense of relaxation and calm takes over. Inside, the bright open space pulls you in and you immediately feel at home. There are rooms filled with activities throughout the Inn to occupy kids of all ages. Words just can't describe this incredible place! Although the kids (and their families) are dealing with serious illnesses and undergoing cutting-edge medical procedures, The Children's Inn is a comforting and fun refuge after a long day at the National Institutes of Health. We're so honored to have the opportunity to work with these amazing kids on the development of our tee shirts! Hopefully, we will expand quickly and be able to contribute significantly to this "place like home".

Wait til you see my good side!

Recent Press

The Funky Stork and momsinthecity.blogspot.com recently gave Colin Maguire their thumbs up! We're keeping our fingers crossed for more press after the site goes live in a few weeks. . .

Almost There!

Now that the site is weeks away from being functional we thought it would be a good idea to give a recap of the "story" behind Colin Maguire.

The designs found on Colin Maguire tees were created by kids residing at The Children’s Inn at NIH. The National Institutes of Health provides the latest treatment options for seriously ill children. The Inn at NIH offers a place like home for these brave children and their families. Colin Maguire’s partnership with The Inn at NIH supports the Inn financially, but it also helps to share the spirit of these special children and their loved ones with children across the country.

The shirts are 100% super-soft cotton with contrast stitching and distressed hemlines. They are currently available in sizes 18-24 mos, 2T, 3T, 4T and 5T. Long-sleeve “layered” tees are available for fall and many short-sleeve styles are on the way. New artwork is submitted regularly allowing for the launch of a new tee shirt every month! All come with unique “About the Artist” hangtags.

2nd Drawing and Artist Revealed

2006-07-07T16:31:00.000-05:00

Sara came to the NIH from Iraq to receive specialized care. She chose to draw this eagle because it reminds her of America, where she now resides. Her goals are to attend college and become a professional artist. We think she certainly has the talent to do just that!

The shirt should be ready in the next few weeks!

First Artist Revealed

2006-06-22T10:39:00.000-05:00

Rebecca Dunn, 14, submitted this drawing while visiting her 2-year old sister undergoing tests at the National Institutes of Health. The Children's Inn provided a place like home for Rebecca, her sister and their family. Rebecca likes cheerleading, soccer, basketball and anything involved with art. She is truly a talented girl!

Art Submission Event #1

2006-06-13T16:04:00.000-05:00

We asked that kids residing at the Inn submit drawings of ANIMALS for the 1st Art Submission event. It was so much fun to look through all the entries we received! Here is a sample of some of the artwork done by these super-talented kids.

First Design Debut!

2006-06-08T06:42:00.000-05:00

Well, our first art submission event was a big success! The Children's Inn at NIH worked hard to promote this contest during the month of April. We were a bit behind schedule, so they had only 3 weeks to collect ANIMAL sketches. The artwork blew us away - so much talent! After much deliberation, we have decided to go with this adorable lion. Once all the paperwork is signed, we will reveal a little bit about the artist. She was so excited to have been chosen and she is looking forward to her upcoming fame!

Stay tuned for a collage of all the April artwork!
