Kidneeds Fundraising Pictures

Prior Fundraisers
	Kathy Dreusicke arranged for Brad Little, Broadway's Phantom of the Opera to give a performance in Iowa City. She had a post performance fundraiser that benefitted Kidneeds. The Benefit committee included (from left) Cindy Postler, Pat Cone-Fisher, Lynne Lanning in front of Brad Little, Kathy Dreusicke and Keisha Boysen. What a fabulous performance and benefit!
	For her Bat Mitzvah, Alexandra Tully had friends sign Get Well quilts and pillows for patients with MPGN II / DDD who could use something comforting. They arrived the same day Jenna broke her leg in February! Since then, they have been shipped to patients all over the US. Alex has a cousin with MPGN II / DDD and this was her very thoughtful way of helping others. If you know of an MPGN II / DDD patient who might like a quilt or pillow, please let me know (kidneedsmpgn@yahoo.com).
	Randi and Gary Levitz, along with Iowa author Don Harstad, donated a dinner to a silent auction to raise money for Kidneeds.
	The Johnson County Medical Society Alliance chose Kidneeds as one of its basket auction beneficiaries. Lisa Hunter, President, spent countless hours, as did many other Alliance members to make the evening great fun and very successful!
	May 5th, 2008 marked the ninth Enchiladafest organized and donated by Evelyn and Frank Weirich with help from Betsy Boyd. It was the most successful Enchiladafest yet, with over 2200 enchiladas made in 3 days by scores of volunteers. All the enchiladas found homes and over $8000 was raised!
	Hope Tully and her friends held a very successful fundraiser last year in Chappaqua, NY. The silent auction, luncheon and style show raised close to $65,000.
	Carol Personte found a moment to relax during the 7th NY Golf Tournament they organize every September for Kidneeds.
	Tommy Kane's World Fun Run organized by his aunt Karen Williams is always a great event. The second World Fun Run (in PA) raised over $12,500.
	Steve McGuire (with Jenna) rode the Tour Divide for Kidneeds - that's 2411 miles called by Outside Magazine the most difficult off-road bike race in North America. Steve will be riding again in the summer of 2010. If you're interested in accompanying him on any leg of this incredible journey, drop Lynne Lanning an email at kidneedsmpgn@yahoo.com.
