    On Saturday August 16, 2014, we helped with a fundraiser to help raise money & awareness for Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA). DBA is a Rare Blood Disorder that affects about 1000 people worldwide.
    People with DBA have to have blood transfusions about every 2 weeks for life. The only chance of a partial cure is a risky Bone Marrow Transplant.
    Haley Brooks, age 14, the organizer's daughters friend is one of these kids.

    Entertainment consists of:
    Blood Assurance
    Singers
    Food
    Inflatables
    Dunking Booth
    Face Painting
    Etc.

    We were invited to do Super Heroes for this event. More pictures to come, but not only did we help entertain the crowd, we helped in a more direct manner by several members giving blood as well.
