Here is a quick update on what is happening at Bridges To America.
As you may know, my 12 year-old daughter, Kylie, and I have been working on a campaign we call Save-A-Thon For Africa (http://saveathonforafrica.blogspot.com) most of the year to raise money for soccer balls, school supplies, and food to deliver for Christmas to the children in Ghana. We leave in less than three weeks!
Last week we received the best PR we have ever had and it was very satisfying. We were on the KSL six o'clock news in Salt Lake City and had two newspaper articles written about the effort.
Here are links to the video and to both newspaper articles.

It is gratifying to see the return of investment from our generous donors and our hard work. It feels like we are gaining momentum and reaching a tipping point that will help us grow. And the greatest thing about that is that we are now able to benefit more families and especially children in Africa.
We are still raising over $3,000 for the expenses of this trip and supplies for the children in the village for Christmas. We would love any support you can give and/or encourage as you see fit. You can visit the website to learn more and make donations here: http://bit.ly/UPlFFj
Lastly, we are doing a fundraiser called Chalk Talk for Charity this Thursday night, Dec. 6th from 7PM with the Utah State Aggies Women's Soccer Team in Logan. More details here: http://chalktalk4charity-es2.eventbrite.com/?rank=1
Thanks for your support!
