ORGANIZED BY SAMM CRIFASI AND BCG
How would you like to help raise money and awareness for
Spinal Muscular Atrophy? SMA is a motor neuron disease that affects one
in every 10,000 children born each year in the US. Because of the
genetic malfunction, those affected are usually unable to walk, stand,
or even sit up on their own. This week, I'm organizing a
tabling fundraiser that will auction off raffle tickets for free meals
at local venues (free candy comes with the ticket, as well!) I would
like to reach out to the Broome community to see if anyone would like
to participate! All you'd need to do is sit at the table in the lobby
near the elevators and talk to your fellow residents. I've already
drawn up a flyer explaining everything, so don't be discouraged if you
don't know anything about SMA!
If you are interested, please contact
me at sac497@nyu.edu with any available times you'd want to
help between this week and next. All proceeds will be going to
"Friends of Philly," a non-profit organization created for one of my
close friend's little brother who is affected by the disease. Any
donations collected will help with costs that Philly's medical
insurance does not cover.
