Start Something - Tiger Woods Foundation
Thank you to Target and the Tiger Woods
Foundation for the
Start Something Scholarship which allowed me to travel to
Honolulu, Hawaii to work with Keiki Cards.
Love Letters: Random Cards of Kindness and Keiki
Cards have the same mission to create homemade cards for children with
life-threatening illnesses. I've been communicating with Annette Marie,
President, and Amber Musser, Executive Assistant, at Keiki Cards about our organizations since 2006. By volunteering at Keiki
Cards in Hawaii, I learned first-hand about the steps needed to build
my organization so I can touch more children's lives.
