    NEHHA Spring Swing Raffle Donation

    As promised, I went over to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute today for my own appts, and while there, went to the Jimmy Fund Bldg to donate the money we raised at the hang.

    We raised a touch over $900 from the raffle proceeds, and I added the rest to make it an even $1000.00 donation, to help children with cancer.


    Thank you to all who participated!!! What a great community we have here!

    You look spiffy Chaaaz! The Jimmy Fund is a well run charity, they really maximize the amount of money that actually goes to the cause. Well done NEHHA!

    Chaaz,

    Great job getting our donation in. We're all proud to have been a part of it. My wife is a 3 year survivor at this point and, as we say, she owes her life to Dana Farber. She's been walking 26.2 miles every Fall forever after my Mom passed away from Cancer. Then she was diagnosed. How ironic. We're so grateful for Dana Farber and are so happy that our donation this time went to them.

    All the best Mr. GQ!

    Hell yeah, lets keep you around for a while more! You don't want Francois getting all your camping gear. It's great we were able to raise money for a good cause, I love happy endings!

    ===> Thanks Gil! My wife is also a survivor of Breast Cancer. Her treatments were way worse than mine. I have two types, one is recurred, and I am dancing with the Devil. DFCI is holding The Beast at bay for the moment. They produce miracles there!
