About Lea's Foundation
In 1998, Lea Michele Economos, a young woman who died of leukemia at the age of 28, made a dying wish to her parents that others would not face the hardships she encountered by finding a cure for this disease. Her family started this charity to carry on that wish. Today, Lea’s Foundation takes an active role in finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and myeloma and to better the lives of people living with these diseases. At the UCONN Health Center, the Lea’s Foundation Center for Hematologic Disorders sponsors research in this field. A new program covers the cost of bone-marrow testing to help recruit life-saving transplants for patients. Also, annual scholarships are given to children with leukemia who are planning to attend nursery school. For more information on other projects carried out by Lea’s Foundation, please visit their website at www.LeasFoundation.org.

Runners chip in

On Sunday, March 3rd the Bimblers Running Club, based in Guilford, put on the Bimbler's Bash, a wicked 10k (ish) trail race through Westwoods trail system of Guilford. I approached the race director, Jerry Turk about donating to the Ride and the Bimblers as a group came through with huge donation. The race itself was a huge success and we were very grateful for the partnership.

Butterfly March 23, 2011
we have organized a party at Butterfly in West Hartford Wed, March 23 from 9-11. That's right. Wednesday next week. What better way to kick off spring break (first and second years), continue the match day celebrations (congrats to all the fourth years) or just have a little fun (show some love to the third years)? There will be a live DJ, a chance to show off your American Idol talents with some karaoke, and a raffle during the night with wine, gift certificates and other prizes all donated by the generous management of Butterfly up for grabs. Tickets for the raffle will be $2 and let's be honest, you have a better chance at winning one of our raffle prizes than whichever March Madness pool you joined so it's just smart math.
The door cover will be $5 but every dollar we collect will go straight to the foundation so come out on wednesday, give a few bucks to a great local charity, experience a nice local restaurant, get a group of friends togther and come out to Butterfly for a fun evening.
We will be selling both tickets for the door and tickets for the raffle Mon-Wed next week, but if you can't find us/can't make it to the health center/have no idea who we are, you can just show up on Wed and pay at the door (no cost increase).
Thanks for reading this and we hope to see you out there next week.
