Valentines Winner

By dianahellismedia • February 18, 2024
Annual Valentine's Day Mattress Winner! We delivered Bailey's brand-new Immunity Queen Size Mattress Set valued at $2,999. She was the lucky winner of our annual Valentine's Day giveaway. "I'm very grateful that they can do this yearly," said Bailey. "It gives people a chance to do something for themselves. Like most parents, I put things on the back-burner if it doesn't involve my kids." Winning the mattress was just what she needed. The past few years have been challenging. "In late 2022, I left a really bad relationship. The majority of my belongings were tossed out or destroyed." Due to a work-related injury, Bailey's been out of work for over a year. After three surgeries, the doctors are unsure if she can return to her position as a medical assistant. "When I saw 16 Cents' Facebook post about the contest, I thought it could be an amazing opportunity to get a new bed," said Bailey. "I needed one but didn't have the funds for it. All our extra money goes straight to the kids." Bailey has been sleeping on an old mattress purchased several years ago and is looking forward to sleeping on the new one. "It was hard to believe we won until 16 Cents messaged me," said Bailey. "I'm looking forward to having a new mattress, let alone a whole new set. It's really special. I feel like this is going to be our year."

It started four years ago. The weather was bad, but the response was phenomenal! As the years go by, the growth continues to get bigger. We are thrilled to share 53 barrels of cold weather items were collected for Family Promise of Spokane, Family Promise of Spokane has an Emergency Shelter for families to stay together. The clothes are welcomed to help keep many warm this winter season.


Crazy Campout 2016: 10 barrels!
Crazy Campout 2017: 37 barrels!
Crazy Campout 2018: 50 barrels!
Crazy Campout 2019: 53 barrels!


A variety of visitors stopped by with cold-weather gear including 7-year-old Korbin spent his weekend filling barrels with blankets, sleeping bags, clothes, toys, food, and toiletries to help homeless men, women, and children at Family Promise of Spokane. Korbin filled 10 barrels. Giving back to the community is something that makes him excited.

“Some people live outside in the cold and don’t have a home to live in and are cold, so they need warm stuff." – Korbin


“We are excited to continue the tradition of the #CrazyCampout here at 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks.
