Thank You to Clovis Grove Elementary and Bemis Company

WOW!!! A special thank you goes out to an amazing group of children at Clovis Grove Elementary School in Menasha.  Mrs. Kasmarek's Second Graders hosted a bake sale to raise money for River of Hope.  They raised $416.63 to benefit River of Hope.  Sonya Ropson from the Bemis Corporation was their Junior Achievement Volunteer and the Bemis Company is going to match their bake sale funds!!!  Thank You Bemis!!!
What an amazing feeling we had when we opened this email!   What was more beautiful… is that kids worked so hard to raise money for River of Hope which is in memory of Riviera Lynne Konen, who they never met. 
River of Hope would just like to thank Clovis Grove Elementary School and families so much for helping us.  A special thank you to their principal, Tammy Richter, for spreading River of Hope's mission to your school family.  Your help brings so many smiles to sick children.  Your money will be used to purchase toys and fleece blankets that will be given to so many children who are going through a lot.  In speaking from experience, a little gift or blanket to a child after receiving a shot, infusion, spinal tap, surgery, etc. means the world to each child.  It takes their mind off what they are going through and lets them be a child again.  With your help and support River of Hope continues to be an amazing cause and also keeps Riviera’s name alive!
We wish you a wonderful, safe summer.  Keep passing on kindness.  It is what makes the world a better place to live and grow.
Cherish Every Moment!!!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
