Darius Comes To Syracuse

Posted in Events on 24.09.08 by Merlyn

In collaboration with Jamesville DeWitt Middle School, we are pleased to announce that on Wednesday, October 22nd the cast and crew of the world renowned documentary “Darius Goes West” will be stopping in Syracuse to show the movie and drum up support. Their goal is to sell one million copies of DGW in order to raise money, awareness and to mark Darius’ chapter in history with as many people as possible. It’s an incredible story that takes Darius from his hometown in Athens, GA to the west coast in hopes of getting his wheelchair “pimped” on MTV’s “Pimp My Ride”. We hope you can help us make this event a memorable one. The showing will be at the Jamesville DeWitt High School Auditorium, 6845 Edinger Drive in Fayetteville at 7 PM. Hope to see you there.

The Boys Make A Wish!

Posted in Two Smiles News on 10.09.08 by Merlyn

As the 30 foot long white limousine pulled onto our street all three of the boys knew something was up. The time had come for a Wish Party! Back in February, the Make-A-Wish Foundation chose Nolan and Jack as “Wish Recipients” and the time had come to unveil their dreams come true. The family all piled into the limo courtesy of Caz Limo and headed to Red Robin where other family members joined us and the party ensued. The boys were greeted by tons of smiles and presents, which were donated by the employees of our local Red Robin. An amazing effort considering they were notified of the party only 2 days prior. Following dinner Nolan was informed that he would be receiving his swimming pool and Jack would be taking the family on a week long vacation to Disney World. They were beside themselves with excitement and it was all possible through the efforts of Make-A-Wish and their contributors. Caleb was also given a wish thanks to his favorite Uncle Ron who earlier in the year rewarded him with a set of tickets to a Boston Red Sox / New York Yankees game to be held at the famous Fenway Park in Boston this September. Three very lucky boys with three very tremendous gifts. Thank you to all who have made this possible.
