8th Annual River of Hope Drive

 In loving memory of

   Riviera Lynne Konen

We are doing our 8th Annual “River of Hope” Drive to UW American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison on December 27, 2013.

Please have all donations to the Konen House before Thursday, December 26.

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.  Please spread the word.  Last year we delivered over 1,800 gifts to Oncology, Pediatric ICU, Day Treatment, Sedation Clinic, and the Child Life Program.
