Raising Money for Gracie

Okay people, I am going to do a little advertising today. Before you stop reading to move onto something less commercial like, let me first inform you that it is for a little girl in a coma. More specifically, a little girl named Gracie Hinds.

Gracie is a nine year old girl who has been in a drug induced coma since August 25. She started having seizures for unexplained reasons and as a result, doctors were forced to put her in the coma to stop them. She is still in the coma because the doctors do not know what is causing the seizures. Fundraisers are being held to help the parents pay for the medical bills.

For my Interpersonal and Small Group Communications class, we were told to do some kind of service project. One member of my group of four knows the Hinds family and suggested that this should be our project. Today we got together to make donation jars that we could give out to some businesses. If you feel generous and want to donate, the jars are located in the following Ogden stores: Pita Pit, Ligori's, Grounds for Coffee, Roxberry Frozen Yogurt, Smith's (at the customer service desk), Beto's, Little Caesar's, and Jake's Over the Top. There is also one at the customer service desk at the Layton Smith's.

Why wouldn't you want to put money in these?

Also, on November 3, there will be a fundraiser for Gracie. There will be a hypnotist and a raffle. The raffle will be run by my group. The event starts at 7:00 and ends at 9:00 pm. The tickets are ten dollars to get in and one dollar per raffle ticket. The fundraiser will be held at the Wiseguys Comedy Club at 269 25th Street in Ogden. All of the proceeds will go to Gracie's family. You should all come. 

My group will possibly be having another event later on in the month to raise more money. I will let you know.
