Volunteering: Massey Cancer Fundraiser & HOGR Better Housing Coalition

Giving back to my community is one of the few things that I love to do...whenever you can make a positive difference in someone's life--big or small--do it! The feeling is rewarding. =)

Massey Cancer Fundraiser:
Around March 2009, a young woman put together a fashion show to raise money for the Massey Cancer center. We raised quite a bit of money and held an auction at the show. I had so much fun and met a lot of cool people/models.



Hands On Greater Richmond Better Housing Coalition:
Around April 2009, I was able to join my Residential Assistant, Lisa, and 2 others from my dorm downtown Richmond, VA to paint fences for the houses that needed to be renovated. It was every bit of hot, cold, and "drizzly" that day and my wrists were hurting like HECK. Hands On Greater Richmond
