Nobles, Ladies and Friends,

First, I would like to thank everyone who helped in this endeavor. A huge “shout out” to Kosair Charities for their support in the endeavor and who made this all possible. Yes it was on short notice, but we succeeded. The goal was to raise $100,000.00 which was to be matched by Kosair Charities up to $100,000.00. It would be equally divided among the Dayton, Lexington and Greenville medical facilities.

As of yesterday Ill Sir Dave Juregens delivered the last check to the Greenville hospital. The total amount raised was $200,887.00, divided by 3 equals amounts, $66,962.33 to each facility.

For a first time endeavor this was a huge success for the members of SASA and Kosair Charities. To the club or person who gave the smallest amount and to the two Shrine Centers giving the largest checks, it took everyone’s dollars to equal the total amount.

Here is the list of all who gave:
1. Alhambra Shrine's O’Possom Creek, Cumberland County Shrine Club, Tin Lizzies, Clown unit, DeKalb County Shrine club, Red Fez Club, Choo-Choo Shag Club, John Buttler, Mary Miller, Anna Butler, David & Karen Long, Helen Parker, Fred Pettit.
2. Buechel Lodge #896 F&AM - Louisville, Kentucky.
3. Jamil Shriners.
4. Kosair Shrine's Mark Twain Shrine Club, Past Masters Unit, Dale Hollow Shrine Club, Risk Shrine Club, Bullitt County Shrine Club, Green River Shrine Club, Bullitt County Rod and Gun Club, Scottish Rite Club - Bullitt County, Dave and Clara Juergens, Noel and Donna Cissell, Ron and Judy Miller.
5. Silent auction and donations
6. Omar Shrine
7. Yaarab Shrine
8. Nemesis Shrine Center
9. Beni Kedem's Logan Shrine Club
10. Vicki Noble
11. Robert Gordon
12. Chuck Pitman
13. A Big Thank You to Kosair Charities for helping me do this!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who helped to make this happen. We put a lot of smiles on a lot of kids faces!
