What is a sundrop?

The vinyl stickers on the Gratitude Showers umbrellas sure do look a lot like raindrops! We are calling them sundrops, instead, for a few reasons! First, and most importantly, your words of gratitude will bring some much needed sunshine into the lives of those on the frontline. The second and third reasons have to do with the Gratitude Showers exhibit which will one day be displayed at the University Hospitals Elyria Medical Center. When the sun shines down on the sundrops at just the right angle, the sundrops will cast shadows, showering the hospital community with our words of thanks. We have also developed special solar powered sundrop circuits that make soft raindrop sounds when it is sunny! You can learn more about these in a video below! In addition, please check out some images of the sundrop circuits!
