FIRST RESPONDERS FOUNDATION AND BRYAN MEDICAL CENTER NICU

This year our state presidents, Melody TroBaugh and Dave Hodges are doing FRF and Bryan Nicu.

WSP David Hodges has chosen his charity to be Nebraska’s First Responders Foundation, as he was a firefighter for 28 years, their purpose is honoring, supporting and care for the over-all well-being of first responders, veterans, and their families. Javelan will be part of the foundation’s that the monies will be used for.

Melody chose Bryan Nicu because her son’s wife was life flighted there and that is where she gave birth to my brothers and his wife twin daughters who were born at around 28 weeks, weighing around 1-2 pounds each.

These are both great foundations to raise money for. The money we make this year will be split between these two charities, so let’s have a great year, and raise some money for these two amazing people!
