We would like to thank Elizabeth Caswell and Heidi Fisher from JDRF for their excellent presentation on the One Walk fundraising campaign held on September 28. We were pleased to donate $500 to Team 3 Caz 4 a Cure and qualify for their matching grant from McKinley. We're even happier to announce that the JDRF team raised $307.204.31 and Elizabeth Caswell's team '3 Cas 4 a Cure' raised $40,958.09. Thank you for supporting their efforts to turn Type 1 diabetes into Type None!
Keeping in mind that a polio immunization can cost as little as .60 per child, Foundation chair Gail Scott presented "Pennies for Polio", a simple way to fund our campaign to End Polio Now. Here's how it works:
1. Clean out your car and set aside the change
2. Clean out your purse and set aside the change.
3. Empty your pockets
4. Check the dryer
5. Find a penny and pick it up
6. If you have any excess folding money, we'll take that too!
At the end of the week, round up all of your loose pennies and dimes and quarters and then Gail will pass the bucket each week and proceeds collected will be donated to Polio Plus. Donating your spare change makes perfect sense!
We would like to thank Tammy Broderick for warmly welcoming our members and visiting guests. This week, we had the pleasure of introducing visitors Heidi and Elizabeth, our guest speakers from the JDRF One Walk; and Alicia from Ann Arbor Adopt-A-Park.
