Go Chris! Raffles 2008

The drawing of ‘Go Chris! Raffles 2008’ was held on Friday,
April 4th, 2008, and the 10 lucky winners were picked.

We sincerely thank each one of you who generously donated to our efforts. We are happy to report that we raised a total of $17,000 through our raffle fundraiser this year - almost double what we expected. Thanks to great prizes donated by our openhanded friends, tremendous effort of our ‘sales’ team, and to those who support this cause, this fundraiser was a great success.

 

All money raised through this event will be used for Chris’ medical needs, mainly for post-stem cell treatments; physical therapies and various physical & mental stimulations, which are essential for the injected stem cells to develop into functional brain cells.

 

Thank you very much again.

The Third Fundraising Event

This is our third fundraising event for Chris Barnes since his accident in April 2005.  It is truly inspirational to know that colleagues, friends and even strangers who are touched by Chris’ situation continue to feel compelled to offer their support and generosity. 

 

Without this, we would not have gathered such wonderful raffle items this year to raise money in support of Chris’ medical expenses and alternative treatments.  We deeply thank all of you, especially those who donated these raffle items in support of our cause.

 

With sincere thanks,
