You might not have money to give, but maybe people you know do. There are charity walks for every
cause you can imagine. Find one that is close to your heart and participate. Not only will you raise

Britney laid this comment on Rachel after being chastised for wearing leg warmers on her arms
instead of her legs. Apparently Miss Pierce felt like February was a summer month full of tank top
friendly weather.
Govberg Jewelers contributed raffle items, as well. First prize was a gorgeous diamond bracelet. The
2nd prize, a custom-designed Alex's butterfly diamond pendant, sparkled just as bright. And, believe
it or not, raffle tickets for a brand new Volvo remain on sale until June 11, 2011. Bling upon bling
heightened the event, but guests never lost sight of the real reason they came.
St. Jude's treats children with cancer, and they pride themselves on never turning any child away
due to financial concerns. The hospital is also a leader in pediatric cancer research. John first
became involved with the facility over 15 years ago after performing at the center. He was inspired
by what they do and he has stayed involved ever since then.

Later that afternoon, I had the opportunity to visit the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). While
doing rounds, I saw my little friend waking up from her anesthesia. She was only whimpering. She
wasn't crying or screaming like the other children were. Her parents jumped to her side and started
stroking her head and held her hand. They immediately comforted her using touch therapy. The
techniques had become part of their tool chest, and were the first method they used to soothe her.
Columbia Olde Grey was established in 1972 and has competed nationally on the rugby field and
been involved in its community ever since. Currently a Division II competitor on the field, the club is
also very active supporting local charities. Last year, the team hosted events benefiting breast
cancer research and pediatric cancer. They are also the reigning United Way Tug-A-Plane
champions.
