Greater
Bucky Open -
September
17, 2006
|
 |
Another
fantastic year and outing for the GBO! Great visit
to the UW Children's Hospital, great Badger football
game and a super golf outing. Thanks to all involved,
we raised enough money to donate $17,500 this year
I am also proud to announce once again that due
to our low overhead, 100% of sponsors' monetary
donations will once again be passed through directly
to our recipients. |
|
|
We are also very excited about our "GREATER
BUCKY OPEN LOUNGE" which will debut with the new
American Family Children's Hospital in August 2007!
The GBO Lounge will be located in the Family Waiting
Room in the Hematology/Oncology Unit.
There
is work to be done to accomplish this goal as we are
only $15,000 away from our $50,000 commitment so your
continued support is greatly appreciated!

Friday's
visit to the UW Children's Hospital was awesome.
Bucky Badger, eight members of the UW football team,
Madison Police Officer Mike Hanson and the GBO staff
delivered donated toys and brought good cheer to
the kids. It is an amazing experience to see faces
light up when Bucky & Co. make the rounds. |
