Support for Children’s Memorial Hospital Car Raffle

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

My family spent far too many nights at the foot of a hospital bed with my sister Hilliary throughout her life, and I know the important work of a place like Children’s Memorial Hospital. I’m happy to be a member of the Corporate Board of Children’s Memorial Hospital, and show support however I can.

The annual car raffle is a great fundraiser that has a direct impact on kids and families in the hospital. Plus, the odds of winning one of seven cars is great!  Only 7,000 tickets will be sold… buy one today. Good luck!
