I started this picnic 19 years ago primarily as an excuse for Friends and Family to get together. Secondly it's
a March of Dimes Fund Raiser. I have a strong commitment to their organization and the research dollars
that they raise.  Since 2001, the picnic has raised just over $14,520 for the March of Dimes and I personally
have raised over $50,000 since I started participating in March for Babies in 2004.  I appreciate all of the
support and assistance I receive to make this event successful each year.  

I could not do this without all of you!  

The 2011 picnic raised $1,275. Thank you!
