FUNDRAISER SPOTLIGHT
LAURA MACHONIS
Do
you or someone you know like to scrapbook? Join Laura Machonis and her team at
the 8th annual Crop for a Cause: Making MS a Memory on March 15 in Roselle.
Laura
started volunteering at Walk MS 15 years ago, and from there the possibilities
to her success have been endless. She formed her own Walk MS Team and has taken
on her own wrap around events. Her largest event is called Crop for a Cause, where individuals come for an evening of uninterrupted
time to scrapbook. They also have food, a silent auction and a raffle to make
the event even more exciting.
In
2013, Crop for a Cause raised $17,115 to benefit the National MS Society. Join
Laura and help to make 2014 even more successful!

awareness and funds for people living with multiple sclerosis!
