Our Program on October 3rd was the dynamic trio of Ariana, Gabi and Michael Feygin and their charity of “Kids Helping Kid with Cancer”. The trio described their efforts on behalf of the Pinky Foundation to help raise funds for kids and their families going through their battles with juvenile cancer. Their second appearance to our club was to let us know what they have been doing and ask for our support. They used the familiar story of the starfish and the importance of making a difference one at a time. Ariana now 13 years old told about their successes and failures overt the past five year and resolve to do better for more kids. Gabi now 10 years old described their first lemonade disaster but they never gave up. Michael now 6 years old added footnotes to each story. Their journey started in 2013 raising $5,000 and setting higher goals each year so in 2014 they raised $8,409, 2015 - $20,000, 2016 - $50,000 and their goal for 2017 is $55,000 and hope to achieve it by having challenges in all of the Minnetonka Schools including elementary, junior high competitions and MHS events. Amazing! Since 2013 they have raised over $125,000 for the Pinky Foundation. To help in their cause our club voted unanimously to dedicate that days’ Happy Bucks of $476 to the Pinky Foundation.
