Woodbury High School Benefit

Woodbury High School Seniors in Theresa Von Ruden's Community Outreach Class held a fundraiser for Moses on 03-17-10. Students raised $1500.00 for the Hope For Moses Fund by selling food, Hope for Moses t-shirts, face painting, and holding a silent auction! The event was so much fun, and Moses and Sarah really enjoyed getting to know the students. Special thanks to food donors Classic Pizza, Angelina's Kitchen, and Perkins; Commanding Edge, Inc. for the t-shirts; and the families of Aaron Duffy and Pat Moore for donating the MN Wild tickets. Also, thank you to Kelly Graves who individually raised $240.00 on her own for Moses!

The Natural Care Center at Woodwinds:
The Natural Care Clinic at Woodwinds held a fundraiser for Moses. Patients and staff have been giving donations for several months. In May/June 2009 a raffle was held, with two large baskets filled with gifts from the clinic, gift cards, and African items as the prizes. One patient from Woodwinds and one patient from the Bloomington clinic won! Clinicians are also donating care for Moses when he comes to America. A huge thank you to all involved in this wonderful project! Over $600.00 was raised from these efforts.
