Can You Spare A Buck To Help A Child With Cancer Go To College?

I am writing tonight to all those who read Conservative Musings  to ask you to support my family's charity named Stephens Soldiers Foundation. We are a 501c(3) charity which helps support kids who have had cancer.  Our son had cancer in 2008 and we are blessed that he survived the experience and is now in his first year of medical school.

To support our mission, we provide activity bags at The University Of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital  in Ann Arbor, Michigan and at William Beaumont  Cancer Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan.  We also provide education and parent and patient support at both of those facilities.

In addition, a local company, Producers Choice, and Stephens Soldiers have joined together to annually give  scholarships to incoming freshman college students who have had cancer previously in their lives and live in southeast Michigan (Detroit area). The amount given to each awardee is $2500. On top of that, this year we are also starting a new scholarship for kids who have had cancer but are going into graduate school. The award is the same. Those scholarships will be awarded in a week.

To support these efforts, we raise money through different events.  In the fall, we have Shave To Save, where Conservative Tom goes totally bald.  However, what I want to bring to your attention is the upcoming comedy night which will be held on June 24 in Novi, Michigan.  We will have four comedians, the headliner is Connie Ettinger (a reformed, rehabilitated lawyer.)  She is hilarious and if you are in the area please contact me at 248-645-6920 and we will set up your reservations.

We know that many of you are elsewhere in the US and around the world.  So how can you help out our charity?   Money of course works, but we also need items for our silent auction.  Any contribution from $1 to a million would be welcome and will help us help kids who have had cancer.Please email me at sixspeedtom@ymail.com or bvorenberg@stephenssoldiers.org and tell us how you want to help out.

Can you spare a buck?

Thanks for all of your support.

Conservative Tom
