Winter 2007 Newsletter: Josh and Tommy

JOSH

A couple of years ago, a stranger from New York City called and said that he wanted to have a party and raise some money for a charity. The stranger named Josh found The Cancer Research Foundation on the internet, and called our office. IF we were interested, all he wanted from us was a computer link so that he could ask his guests to contribute money.

Josh Michelman persuaded the owner of a local establishment to donate space for one evening. Josh and his friend Alexis Straat lined up food and door prizes for the event. Guests were invited – their only expense was a $25.00 contribution to the Cancer Research Foundation – made over the internet.

2007 is the third year that Josh and his buds have partied for charity – these young men and women donated $2,120 to us this year.

TOMMY

Tommy sends us nickels. Not always the same number. Not always every month. We cannot thank him in person, because we don’t know his last name or address. We hope that he is the little boy of a grownup who gets this newsletter so that he’ll know how grateful we are.
