Lucky Brand Jeans Fashion Show to Benefit MDA.

I would like everyone to take time out and think about people in the world who are less fortunate. I have the opportunity to work with the fashion organization at GSU on this benefit show that will take place next week. I will be helping host the event and hope to sell many $1 SHAMROCKS to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is an organization founded in 1950 which combats muscular dystrophy and diseases of the nervous system and muscular system in general by funding research, providing medical and community services, and educating health professionals and the general public.MDA is most famous for its long-running nationwide telethon it holds on Labor Day each year. Begun in 1966, it is hosted by actor and comedian, Jerry Lewis, who has supported the MDA, serving as its national chairman since its inception in 1950. Lewis' support has been so ironclad over the years that children and adults assisted by MDA are referred to as Jerry's Kids. In 2008, the annual Labor Day Telethon raised a record USD$65,031,393. In 2005, the MDA made the unprecedented decision to pledge $1 million of the Telethon's money raised to Hurricane Katrina disaster relief, making the donation specifically to the Salvation Army (though the Telethon also urged viewers to give to the American Red Cross). Therefore, with the efforts of our DIMES and the community we hope to help give the little that we are able to raise. Help us give back to the community by supporting us in an event full of networking and sharing the blessing we have while raising money for the less fortunate!
