NICKELS FOR BLAKE

I had told a few of you I would remind you about the "nickels for Blake" fundraiser sometime throughout the year. Then I thought I might as well remind everyone. For those of you that don't have a clue what I'm talking about, my sister's baby passed away at 3 months of age, 2 years ago this past June. I've included a copy of the email Julie sent out before this years fundraiser. Please click on it to enlarge if you care to read it.

EMAIL FROM JULIE FOR LAST YEARS FUNDRAISER:


I'm also including the excerpt from the counry 105 Radiothon that Julie did. Some of you got it via email last year, and some of you didn't. Now everyone can hear it if you like. It's quite powerful - make sure to break out the tissue's before hand.

Julie's, Nickels for Blake, goal last year, was to raise $5000.00 for the Children's Hospital. When all was said and done, she deposited $9055.64. It turned out the money was used to buy a Genetic Testing Machine, and there has been a plaque placed on the donor wall at the new hospital that says "In Memory of Blake Giles"
So this is your 6 month reminder. Keep on collecting your nickels so we can be bigger and better and help more people for next year.



Love,
Jodi
