St. Jude Trike-A-Thon Miami

Riding Her Trike for St. Jude

It's a ride that teaches children about the importance of helping others- all while having fun! St. Jude is hosting a Trike-A-Thon in Miami this Friday! My dear friend Christina Boomer Vazquez's daughter will participate in the ride!  Little Mina will be riding her tricycle, while raising money for her cousin-- 9 year old Asa who battled melanoma.

 No matter what the color-- Melanoma can affect children of all shades!  The disease is more frequently associated with Caucasian adults-- but the cancer also effects kids.

Melanoma occurs so rarely in young children that pediatricians may miss it during routine checkups. That's what happened to Asa!

Support Public Schools—Get Dinner and a Movie

State budget crisis has left many public schools scrambling to make ends meet—prompting cuts to a broad range of programs. On the chopping block, dozens of Journalism programs across South Florida.

My dear friend and co-worker—Local 10 Reporter Christina Vazquez developed her passion for journalism at G. Holmes Braddock High School.  Due to financial issues, the school was forced to close many media classes.

In an effort to get journalism back at her alma mater- Christina has partnered with Focus on Tomorrow to raise money.

Join Christina this Wednesday, September 12^th at Paragon Theater in Coconut Grove for Dinner and a Movie.  Starting at 6:30, you can enjoy a light dinner while watching the new movie, The Words! The event will only cost you $35
