THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

4 th of July Pray ~ Hope ~ Believe 5K Run/Walk !!!

At this time of giving THANKS, we want to thank YOU - participants, sponsors, donors, volunteers, supporters - for helping us bring more HOPE to children battling brain cancer. Our 8th annual July 4th Pray~Hope~Believe 5K Run/Walk ( PHB 5K ) was another wonderful event - because of YOU! We had just under 1600 registered participants - mostly present at the event and some virtual participants, as well. As of our most recent tally, our profit is over $73,000.
11th Annual Tony Merk Blood Drive
In thanksgiving for the lifesaving blood transfusions Tony received in treatment for brain cancer (over 30), the Merk Family organized a blood drive to coincide with Tony's birthday on November 26th. Tony was present the first two years and the Merk Family has continued the event in his memory - collecting more than 1180 donations in our 10 years. Please join us on Saturday, November 30th for an opportunity to save lives at St. Ann Parish, 8am-2:30pm. Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is recommended at  http://hoxworth.org/groups/stann.html or by calling 513-451-0910. Questions can also be directed to Rick and Lynne Merk at 513-304-2388.
