Pedaling for ProgeriaTim Hilgers, a Vice President at Alto Dairy Cooperative in Markesan, Wisconsin, raised over $2300 by soliciting pledges from co-workers. He then biked over 1000 miles to honor the pledges. Tom works with Steve Nighbor, father of 3-year-old Megan Nighbor, whose friends and family have raised thousands of dollars to help find a cure for Megan and other children with Progeria. Way to go, Tom! |
And the Band Played On...Henry Lucas and his band have been playing cool Jazz together for years, always for fun. So when two ladies asked them to play for their 50th birthdays, they insisted they wouldn't take a fee. The women were persistent, so Henry had them make a Donation to PRF instead. COOL! |
It Pays to be Casual for PRFCarl Andersen of Chestnut Hill Realty in Boston, Massachusetts raised $1,405 during a "Dress Down for Charity" day he organized on behalf of PRF. Can you get your company to do the same?! |
Play Ball!It's World Champions New England Patriots country here in Massachusetts, and Robert Hrabovsky got into the spirit of giving when he donated $1,000 he won from his "football fantasy" winnings. And to top it off, his company John Hancock is matching it - SCORE!!! |
