Waukesha North Rally for Reagan
September 16, 2008
Kaitlin and Arica organized another
successful Rally for Reagan event at the Waukesha North's GVB game tonight.
They had a number of gift certificates and North paraphernalia for the
raffle and also held a 50/50 raffle in which Jeannette donated her winnings
back to FSMA! Kaitlin got Reagan on the microphone to thank everyone
for coming...I think it was a hit. Tonight's efforts raised over $500
for FSMA.
Reagan had fun and was very excited to
wear her t-shirt that the volleyball team made especially for her!
Thank you to all who participated and
came to support the event. I know we say this a lot, but we are so
truly grateful to be surrounded by such wonderful and generous people.
Coop and Peanut, we love you girls, thanks so much for caring for Reagan
like you do!

Arrowhead Soccer Program
Citizenship Project
Fall 2007
Every year the soccer
program at Arrowhead High School does a citizenship project
to help develop positive character traits in their student
athletes. We met Coach Joe Paul at Golf FORE a Cure this
year, he is one of Dr. Dan's friends. He spoke with us
about his team's citizenship project and said that he would
like Families of SMA to be one of our worthwhile causes this
season. The coaching staff educated the players on SMA and
then each team conducted a fund-raiser. The players took
their citizenship responsibilities very seriously, and did a
tremendous job both educating the public about SMA and
generating donations. Because of their hard work we were
able to make significant contributions to two great
causes--a player in the program whose mother needs a bone
marrow transplant, and FSMA. Coach Paul and staff are proud
to say that they sent a check for $2,500 to FSMA in honor of
Reagan, and she now has the thoughts, prayers, and best
wishes of many people in the Arrowhead community.
Our heartfelt thanks
to the Arrowhead soccer players, coaching staff, community
and Coach Paul!

Dinner at Noodles and Co.
August 6, 2007
Amy Kieffer organized a dinner
fundraiser at Noodles & Co. for all of our family and friends, with 25%
of all sales being donated to Families of SMA. We had a great time
eating and talking with friends. We ordered Reagan Mac & Cheese,
but she seemed more interested in drinking her mama's lemonade and
"fishing" with mama's chop sticks and "catching" the noodles on her
plate. It was lots of fun!
Thanks to everyone who came out and
enjoyed dinner! And a special thanks to Amy Kieffer for taking the
time and initiative to organize such a fun event! We raised $100
for Families of SMA.

May 19, 2007
For Reagan's 2nd birthday party we
got together with some family and friends and participated in the Walk
With the Animals at the zoo. We had a group of over 30 people that
joined our Rally for Reagan team and walk the zoo with the other MDA
family and friends. Amy Jansen had a great idea of making t-shirts
for our team. She came up with a wonderful design with a pink
elephant and the phrase "Stompin' out SMA" on the back. Thanks
Amy! We had one of the largest teams at the walk. It was a
beautiful sunny day that ended with some cake and ice cream!

Wauksha Northstar's Rally for Reagan
February 13, 2007
The night was a lot of fun and a great success!
Reagan certainly enjoyed herself and loved watching the Northstar girls
out on the floor. She clapped and cheered for them all night.
Kaitlin Cooper and Arica Ludwig ran a 50/50 raffle
as well as raffled off various prizes and Northstar attire. The
big winner of the 50/50 raffle was Cathy Ludwig who so kindly donated
her $300 winnings to FSMA. Nancy Billinghurst along with her Key
Club and Interact Club students raised money during the week by selling
Culver's sundaes at lunch time and surprised us with a check for
$500.00 before tip-off.
Our family would like to extend at heartfelt thank
you to Coach Gilmore and her team, Kaitlin Cooper, Arica Ludwig, Nancy
Billinghurst along with the North Key Club and Interact club, the
Culver's on Grandview for donating the sundae items for the lunch time
fundraiser, and for all of the faculty, staff, students, and parents.
Their combined efforts raised over $1300.00 for FSMA. We are truly
blessed and grateful to be a part of such a supportive community at
North High School.
Coop and Peanut thanks again for your creation of
the "Rally for Reagan" slogan and all that it has accomplished!
You are two outstanding young ladies!
