BYOF Party

CCC teen Josh Rowe is making a big donation again this year thanks to the support of his family and friends. The second annual BYOF (that's Bring Your Own Fleece) Party was held last week. The event was organized by Josh's mom (Mari Rowe), aunt (Kim Wentland), and cousin (Kylene Wentland).

About 60 of Josh's family and friends brought fleece to cut and tie into blankets. Blanket makers enjoyed pizza and beverages along with great camaraderie. The blankets will be donated to Children's Cancer Connection and given to campers at Camp Heart Connection this summer.
