NKFM Zoo Walk - May 16, 2010
        Thanks to NKFM for allowing us to take part in another fantastic Zoo Walk at the Detroit Zoo.  It was
a beautiful day for a stroll through the Zoo.  It was a beautiful day to support all the great NKFM programs
that continue to help fight Kidney Disease and to support all those impacted.  It was a beautiful day as
we signed up 46 Michigan residents to the Michigan Organ Donor Registry.

 

ALIVE '10 - May 7, 2010
      Thanks for making ALIVE '10 a HUGE Success.  The Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center was the
perfect location for our 7th annual benefit.  The Food was fabulous, the Silent Auction was overflowing
with wonderful items, the Awards were inspiring, the Fashion Show and our beautiful models were
heartwarming, the Book signing was a hit,  the Music from Lyin Dogs kept the party going until 10pm. 
Final numbers are still be calculated.  We will post these numbers soon.  We would like to thank everyone
who attended, volunteered, planned and acquired auction items.  Our deepest appreciation goes out to
our sponsors who supported us even in this tough economy. 

      It was a night filled with fun and friends; fabulous food and drink; auction and celebration
as we joined together to inspire all in Michigan to join the Michigan Organ Donor Registry.
