Fund Raising Campaign

The date, time, and place have been set for the organizational meeting for the fund raising campaign. The meeting will be Sunday July 19th at 2 p.m. in the fellowship hall of the Sparta First Baptist Church, in Sparta NC. The church is located at 202 South Main Street in Sparta.
For Landon to get a transplant, the expected expenses for Landon's family are at least $75,000. We are not a wealthy family. We must conduct a fund raising campaign to get the money needed to make a transplant possible for Landon. We will be working with the Children's Organ Transplant Association, COTA http://www.cota.org/COTA.php . COTA is sending a lady to the organizational meeting to help us get started. The campaign to save Landon will be conducted in every county that we have any connection to or that we can organize in. We will begin in Alleghany and Alexander Counties and expand from there. I really hope that we can get some folks from Alexander to attend this first meeting. It will be of great help, when we begin to organize in Alexander, if we have a few people, from Alexander, that are familiar with COTA and what we need to do. Everyone from anywhere that is interested in helping us make a miracle for Landon is invited to attend this meeting. This meeting will be over by 4 p.m. Please mark your calender.
My goal is to not only raise the funds needed, for Landon, but to make this a fun and rewarding experience for everyone involved.
