AmericanRed Cross

I donated blood at several of the VSU blood drives. Every pint donated can save up to 3 lives.

FYE Tennis Toss

I helped number the 250 tennis balls that were included in the tennis toss that benefited various programs such as American Red Cross and Safe Haven.

Lowndes County Animal Shelter

I spent an evening at the animal shelter making sure the animals were cared for (had food, water, clean pens) and then enjoyed playing with them for “social time”.

International Pancake Day!

Anyone who came to IHOP on International

Pancake Day received a free plate of pancakes. A donations box was placed at the front of the restaurant and all the money gathered

benefited The Children’s Miracle

Network.

Superstar Valdosta

I helped set up and serve the food at Superstar Valdosta, a singing

competition, which was hosted by the South Georgia

Chapter of American Red Cross.

I attended the VSU Pink-Out Football Game to support

Breast Cancer Awareness.
