Hi everyone, Andrew was truly with us this weekend as the Fox family celebrated a wonderful simcha. Each of us felt Andrew's presence in so many ways and it was wonderful to celebrate Rebecca and Kenny's love for each other. Our rabbi married them making it even more special; it was an incredible weekend. We are very close to announcing the date and location of the big fundraiser we are planning for FOXSFIGHT. We have had several meetings and are very excited to share the details with all of you once the date and location are confirmed. Kids never cease to amaze me with their support for FOXSFIGHT and their desire to raise funds in memory of Andrew. Rachel K. is selling tribute cards and raising money for her mitzvah project for her Bat Mitzvah next fall. Andrew K. made a FOXSFIGHT brochure about melanoma for his health class report. Justin P. has plans to also support FOXSFIGHT for his mitzvah project along with Nikkole V. Allie, Julia, Lily, Leah and Sarah raised over $60.00 last week selling lemonade and brownies to cars passing by. So many kids have supported FOXSFIGHT already and many more are in the works. Kids we don't even know are supporting FOXSFIGHT and getting in on the excitement as well. "Chords for a Cure" is being held tomorrow, June 3, at 3 PM in the Harriton High School Auditorium. Josh Verlin, a Harriton graduate of '07 has organized a concert with three Harriton rock bands: Prism, The Rubberknees and Presence. Josh and the bands have graciously agreed to donate proceeds from the first annual "Chords for a Cure" to FOXSFIGHT. This is such a great honor and is so special to me because of how important Harriton was to Andrew. He was a graduate of Harriton's class of '82 and was so excited when I took a teaching position there. He loved going back to support the school, my students, and our boys when they were students at Harriton. Andrew hoped that kids would become a part of FOXSFIGHT and that has truly happened. His love for his own children and those who were like his own kids radiates in the support they are showing FOXSFIGHT. News on the benefit to come soon...stay tuned! Take care and thanks for your continued support. Bonnie
