Thanks to Our Dirty Friends

As a mem­ber of the board of the EFWO and a par­ent of a child who has epilepsy, I want to say thanks to the record num­ber of peo­ple who turned out Sat­ur­day for MUDSTOCK 08, the Epilepsy Foun­da­tion of West­ern Ohio’s annual char­ity fundraiser event.  It was a huge suc­cess, draw­ing in roughly 2,400 peo­ple from the Miami Val­ley and beyond, and rais­ing over $80,000 in the process.   Here are some pic­tures cour­tesy of the Day­ton Daily News.

Thanks also to the long list of cor­po­rate spon­sors, the hun­dreds of vol­un­teers, and to every­one who was involved in mak­ing MUDSTOCK 08 suc­cess­ful.  Spe­cial thanks to Jim Haus­feld from ClearChan­nel, who served as the ring­mas­ter for the event, and to EFWO Exec­u­tive Direc­tor Janine Poppa.

The money raised will rep­re­sent nearly 1/3 of the oper­at­ing bud­get for the orga­ni­za­tion, which serves res­i­dents of Auglaize, Cham­paign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Logan, Mer­cer, Miami, Mont­gomery, Pre­ble, and Shelby coun­ties in West­ern Ohio.

If you are inter­ested in get­ting involved with the Epilepsy Foun­da­tion of West­ern Ohio, con­tact me or visit the Epilepsy Foun­da­tion of West­ern Ohio home page for more infor­ma­tion.  We are always in need of volunteers.
