River of Hope 2011

In loving memory of Riviera Lynne Konen
We are doing our 6th Annual “River of Hope”Drive to UW American Family Children’s
Hospital in Madison on December 28, 2011. Please have all donations to our home before December 26, 2011. River of Hope’s mission is to keep Riviera’s memory alive and to continue to offer hope for all children who are fighting
for their lives and who will be spending Christmas in the hospital. It is Riviera’s legacy to bring smiles to children’s faces as much as she brought to everyone around her. There were many people who asked about this run so please spread the word. Last year we delivered over 2,000 gifts to Oncology, Pediatric ICU, Day Treatment, Sedation Clinic, and the Child Life Program.
