Girl Scout

Troop #368, under the leadership of Troop Leader Art Martin, will assist

with this special project as part of their 15-hour community project that

will help in earning a gold award.

The mission

of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is to cure leukemia and other blood

related cancers while improving the quality of life of patients and their

families. The Team In Training program was developed to help raise much

needed money to fight the disease through research.

Individual

Team In Training members are asked to assist in the fund-raising effort

and also push themselves to personally achieve endurance athletic goals,

such as the Washington, D.C. Marine Corps Marathon this fall and the Disney

World Marathon this winter. Area residents Lisa Aultman, Rebecca Capezzuto,

Angela Wilder and Burnside will be running for local "hero"

patients in these events.

The Great Frame

Up Store of Peachtree City is donating a 4' x 4' canvas for the benefit

dinner. Local "hero children" prints will be featured in the

center. For a $1 donation, area supporters of all ages can add their hand

prints in bright colors to the art mural representing the community support

and HOPE in finding a cure for Leukemia, lymphoma and other blood related

cancers.

Once completed,

the Great Frame Up Store will frame the finished work. Plans are being

made to possibly have reproductions made of the print if local supporters

would like to purchase one. The original art piece will be presented to

the city for display.

All proceeds

for the benefit dinner, "Hope Print" and special raffle and

silent auction items go directly to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

For more information and tickets contact Suzanne Burnside at 678-364-0483.
