UPCOMING EVENTS
November 2009 - Thanksgiving Meal Program
Supports: Frisco Family Services Center
The FFSC's Thanksgiving Meal Program goal is to provide low-income families, families in crisis, and senior citizens with a special Thanksgiving Meal Package. The traditional foods that make the holiday special are typically not available from the food pantry and are a rare treat for these families.
Team Support: Donate and/or collect food items to build meal boxes. We may also have the opportunity to volunteer on meal box distribution day. More details to follow closer to November.

Congratulations on a successful program!
In August 2009 we collected over 300 school supplies for the Allen Community Outreach “Fill the Bus” School Supplies Drive! There are about 2300 low income families in the Allen and Lovejoy ISD who cannot afford the supplies needed to start school. These students will be the benefactors of the Fill the Bus program.

The Great Pumpkin Race & Haircut
On November 15, 2008 our team and several parents participated in the The Great Pumpkin Race & Haircut to support the Children’s Cancer Fund (CCF). CCF is dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancer by providing funds to the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Medical Center Dallas and The University of TX Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
There were over 200 runners and we were treated to coffee and hot chocolate from Starbucks, and muffins from Otis Spunkmeyer.
Alyssa took 1st place in the Female 19 & Under division with a time of 22:38. WAY TO GO "HAMMY"!
After the race, Coach Stacey got her haircut and donated her ponytail to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that will use her ponytail to make a real wig for children undergoing radiation treatment for cancer.
Leading up to event, the team created "Busy Books" to donate to Children’s Medical Center Dallas.
FCDY98G Blue ROCKED on November 15th to help in the fight against childhood cancer!
