RE: 2nd Annual HOPEFEST

[Guest guest]

,

Thanks for posting about this years Hopefest.

I wanted to let you all know that the monies raised last year at the 1st

HOPEFEST enabled ISOP to hold ETP training seminars with Dr. Mehta in Chicago, N.Y., and Sydney, Australia. Many

infants/children have benefited from ’ efforts and ISOP couldn’t

have accomplished the ETP’s without this support. raised over

$20,000 last year, and I think we can beat that # this year.....Please help us

raise enough $ to hold 5 ETP’s next year! The cost of having a

fundraiser or an ETP is significant, and we need your help! Lets help

make this life changing treatment available to all who need it, around the

world!

Feel free to contact or I direct with

any questions at all, about this event.

Thanks for your help!!!

Sincerely,

HRH

I

need your help PLEASE!

The Second Annual

HOPEfest, a fundraiser to raise money for the

Infantile Scoliosis Outreach Program and Shriner's Hospital's for

Children, is now officially set for October 11th, 2008. After a

successful HOPEfest in April 2007, I decided to try and organize

another event to help give back a portion of what was given to our

son, Evan. In addition to the HOPE I received from the wealth of

information ISOP provides, the resources ISOP provides, the ETP " s

facilitated by ISOP, I'm forever grateful to the CAST support group,

for the support we've received. It's a wonderful tool for parents

dealing with early treatment, to have a resource to turn to in times

of need.

That's what I " m doing now...turning to YOU all in a time of need.

Organizing the second annual HOPEfest is an exciting time, however, I

need some help. I am asking each of you to dig deep, not just into

your wallets, but into your hearts.

What has ISOP done for you, your child, your future?

Can you help out by asking family member who own a business or who

are affiliated with a business to sponsor HOPEfest? In turn, you're

helping the lives of children each day diagnosed with Progressive

Infantile Scoliosis, just like our children were. Do you remember

receiving the diagnosis and then deciding WHAT to do with the

information you'd just received? ISOP is our rock and with out

and the organization, I'm just not sure where we'd all be

today.

I'm challenging each of you to donate...your time and/or a monetary

donation to ISOP. You can find the appropriate information on ISOP's

webpage, there is a copy of our sponsorship pack and the poster. On

ISOP's page you'll also find a link to a PayPal account where

donations can be made. If each of us just donates $10,$20 or

$30...can you imagine the money ISOP can raise?

It costs to put events like this on, I'm not receiving a DIME for the

work I " m putting in, I " m doing it for parents like you and your

precious children. I was given HOPE in a time when I had

little...Won't you help out?

Blessings,

and Evan

That's fantastic. I am personally indebted to you. Jack certainly

benefitted from that Chicago ETP!

I'd be happy to volunteer my time with anything you need!
