FUNd Raising in Mississippi

Peggy M. and Randy Ferrell drawing the winning ticket at the VHLFA Mississippi Chapter raffle. Special thanks to Peggy and Don, Hazel, Tammy, Terry, Sheryl, and all the special friends in Corinth and Alcorn City, Mississippi. |
The Mississippi Chapter recently sponsored a raffle to raise money for VHL research and education. Not only was it a lot of fun, they succeeded in raising awareness of VHL throughout their community. Peggy M. and the Alliance were featured on the front page of their local newspaper, and friends and local businesses pitched in to help.
Peggy is shown here with Randy Ferrell drawing the winning ticket at Ferrell's Appliance store in Corinth. The prize, a video tape recorder, was won by Melinda Hamlin of Rienzi, Mississippi. Melinda, who was in bed for a few months, expecting twins, was delighted with her prize. Her twin boys, Matthew and Mark, arrived safely in August.
The new VHLFA T-shirt Peggy is wearing was designed by Altheada Johnson of the New York Chapter and WC Enterprises of Delaware. It makes a perfect sport shirt or bathing suit cover-up, and helps to spread the word about the Alliance. Your T-shirt purchase helps to fund the educational programs of the VHL Family Alliance.
