This year Katie Combs and I are on the teen/executive council for a local non-profit organization called A Giving Spirit Foundation(AGSF). Mission is to raise money to provide grants for local Charlotte area moms battling various diseases, cancer, ALS, MS etc. and with that money we help them pay for medical bills, water bills, rent and a number of other bills as well. We have a big fundraiser event coming up in May and are in the process of raising money for this event. This year we worked with Pura Vida to custom design an AGSF bracelet! They are $5 and we will be selling them until May 12th! Katie and I will have them with us in hand so come see us in the halls or email us to get your bracelet! ( the bracelets will be pictured below) Thank you! Hadley Neal and Katie Combs
