Every Penny Counts

     We were impressed by the success of the Special Parkinson’s Event held a couple of weeks ago at the A Touch of Class beauty salon in King. Our Lewis & Daggett team was proud to be a small part of the effort, and we had a lot of fun too!   

     Tonya Wood and her team at A Touch of Class rolled out the red carpet to all customers who came to participate in the event. All receipts for the day were donated to Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research. Additional donations were received from members of the community.

     We were proud of the turnout for the event. Moreover, we were impressed by the good spirit and all the fun everyone had. New friends were made. We have posted some photos from the event here.

     As off last week the event had raised $3,385, and donations are still coming in. Our L & D Team gave out specially designed T-shirts and stadium cups. There was a drawing for prizes including a number of prizes donated by Team Fox. The grand prize was a book personally signed by actor and Parkinson’s activist Michael J. Fox.

     During these difficult economic times it is amazing how our community continues to pull together. Many charities and public service causes are having their resources stressed, which makes these local grass roots efforts more important than ever. We all need to pull together for special causes and for those less fortunate

     Many thanks to all the folks in our community who help and contribute to the lives of others during this holiday season. Additional thanks to WXII TV 12, King Lawn and Garden, Ad Color, and WSJS Radio for their help. This community spirit really is what makes our Triad area special.

     Remember, Every Penny Counts!
