Project Name: |
Music for Life! |
|
Project Leader: |
MaryMargaret O'Neill |
|
Description: |
Last year MaryMargaret and her two friends held a lemonade stand to purchase Webkinz for the campers at Camp Friendship. This year MaryMargaret's goal is to collect enough money to purchase 150 MP3 players so that she can donate them to the children of the Children's Medical Center in Washington DC. When MaryMargaret was six years old she was very sick and was in that facility for ten days. She knows firsthand what those kids go through. She wants them to be able to enjoy the therapeutic qualities of music during this difficult time of their lives. |
