Compassion in Spades - 2010 Card Tournament

Like to play cards? Want to help kids with cancer? Come join us at a local event in Norman, for a good old-fashioned card party where SPADES is the name of the game! For the kids, there will be a concurrent UNO tournament for those ages 8-13. The cost is $50 for each 2-man team ($25 per player) and lunch is provided. Prizes for 1st and 2nd place. Volunteers are also needed! Click HERE to download the registration form. Players can pay by check or credit card to reserve their spot.

Meet PJ!

We’d like to introduce you to 3-year-old Parker “PJ” Young, one of our sweet Ally’s House kids! PJ was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia on May 22, 2009. He immediately started “induction” therapy which involves a combination of chemotherapy drugs as well as steroids. The aim of induction is to get the leukemia into remission as quickly as possible so that post-induction treatment may begin. PJ also had to endure cranial radiation because of the progress of his leukemia.

So far, PJ’s treatment has been successful and he’s now in “maintenance” therapy to keep his leukemia in remission. PJ’s mom Summer said when Ally’s House helped the family, “It was a big relief to us – we weren’t sure how it was all going to come together.”

Mom says that this week PJ attended his first movie, Toy Story 3 and “his eyes were as big as half dollars walking into the theater.” He also loves puzzles, games and even makes his mom’s coffee in the morning!

Read more about PJ in the next Ally’s House newsletter where he and his family will be spotlighted.

The Teen Board's Battle of the Bands on February 28th raised approximately $10,000 for Ally's House! Congratulations to winners "Ransom" (Judges' Choice) and David Schlinke (People's Choice) and all the amazing bands who participated! Special thanks to event judges Krystal Keith, Graham Colton, Jay Pitts, Scott Webb, Kent Ogle & Kevin Ogle.
