Tonight was the night of the telethon for Children's Cancer Association with 105.1. Ellie, and her friends Rae and Marie were the only three kids amongst all the volunteers answering phones tonight. She sent out an email earlier in the week to friends and family explaining that she was trying to raise money for the CCA and asked if it would be okay if she called them. We went with a list of 18 people tonight and she raised over $600! All three girls combined raised over $2000 in one hour! When they were done making there calls they were giddy with excitement...they were so happy they had raised that much money. They wanted to see where Nelson and Terry talk on the radio so we wandered back and as we were watching through the window a guy came out and asked if we wanted to go in. The girls jumped at the chance and even got their picture taken. It was so good to see them get so excited about helping others...I hope that warm and fuzzy feeling sticks with them! For all of you that helped Ellie raise that money tonight THANK YOU!!!
