Rock-A-Thon 2010 for CMN

My students are raising money for 
Children's Miracle Network,
this year's national service project for FCCLA.

Rock-A-Thon 2010 is now history! 

We had a great time.  

We started out with a little dancing:

 

(a little Cha Cha Slide)

  

(a little Thriller?)

  

I Tweeted and updated on Facebook:

$466 was raised by 7 FCCLA members!

 

 Michelle said her favorite part was Cranium!

My favorite part was when I posted that

we were eating hot homemade pizza at 2:45 am:

I got comments from 2 former FCCLA officers.

"We want to come!  Plz???? 

If we show up will you let us in?"

You bet I let them in!  

They stayed for about an hour.

They actually worked in my room a little, 

spiffing things up like they used to.

Ate some pizza, of course. 

It was a blast to catch up with them. 

It was just as if they were still in our chapter!

Thanks for stopping by Christian and Crystal!

Please come back again and 

join Alumni & Associates!

Here's a retro photo from 2008:

The money brought in from this year's Rock-a-Thon

brings our total for Children's Miracle Network to

$1566 so far this year.  

We still have a few more plans... 

selling Crushes for your crush

for Valentine's Day during FCCLA Week,

then there's Hot Chocolate & Cappuccino profits.

FCCLA Rocks!

I crashed!

Rock On!

Children's Miracle Network

This week begins the Children's Miracle Network campaign for our FCCLA chapter. 

Children's Miracle Network was founded in 1983 by Marie Osmond ("Donny & Marie", "The Osmond Family") and John Schneider ("The Dukes of Hazzard" TV show) to raise money to buy expensive, specialized medical equipment for Children's Hospitals.

To date CMN has raised over 3.2 BILLION dollars and hosts a telethon each May. 

This year FCCLA has joined with Children's Miracle Network to form the DIG IT! Project.

Every year 17 million sick and injured children are treated thanks
to the 170 plus Children's Miracle Network hospitals across America. 

In 1993 while we still lived in San Diego, my eldest daughter was one of these children, requiring emergency brain surgery the second week of her freshman year of high school. Other children in our community have benefited from our CMN hospital, Freeman West in Joplin. some have been LifeFlighted to Children's Mercy in KC.

FCCLA will help Children’s Miracle Network in their endeavors to
insure that no child is turned away from the help they need,
regardless of their ability to pay. FCCLA will directly assist in saving
lives while partnering with the world’s largest nonprofit for children.

FCCLA's CMN campaign has its own special celebrity spokesman, Simon Curtis! Star of Nickelodeon's Spectacular! Simon was diagnosed with Leukemia at age 10.

And Monti Montanez, senior member of Menudo, has composed and sings a special song just for CMN, "My Dreams", featured in the video below. Additionally, members of Menudo will be visiting various CMN Hospitals throughout the year to further promote Children's Miracle Network.

There is more information about this special FCCLA DIG IT! Project.

So join in, get involved. Be Part of It!!!
