Building Blocks for Kids Newsletter
This is one of the charities that the DWC supports. They are located in Mason and is a very small organization. It’s amazing that they do as much as they do. We will be presenting them a check to help with their efforts.
Here is a copy of their newsletter.
Look what you did!!
Your support in 2013 provided assistance to 66 kids!! That is a record number of kids helped in a single year by Building Blocks for Kids. BB4K and the families we have assisted cannot thank you enough!! To give you a better look at how we have helped them, here are some of the needs met:
- More than 540 hours of therapy were provided to 26 children
- Four (4) kids were provided with a communication device
- We assisted three children and their families with home modifications to make their homes more accessible
- Three families received wheelchair accessible vans and another received a lift to make their van accessible
- Five kids were given assistance so that they could attend Ohio Valley Voices for speech and hearing therapy
- And many other needs were met as well such as home therapy equipment, displacement costs so a child could get the help they needed away from home, specialized prescription formula, shatterproof eye glasses, and so much more!
We could not have done this without your support! We hope you’ll come celebrate with us at the Annual Event on March 1st (see sidebar) and that you’ll spread the word about Building Blocks for Kids.

NEW HOME FOR THE COMMUNITY YARD SALE!!
Starting July 27, 2013, the Deerfield Women’s Club’s Community Yard Sale has a new home! We will be in the parking lot of the Fiducial Business and Tax office at 10000 Kings Auto Mall Road. The sale will be at the corner of Fields Ertel and Kings Auto Mall (across from Kings Toyota and Big Lots). The time will remain the same – from 9 to 12. Since our July sale was a rain out, all vendors wanting to sell in August will receive a $5 discount. Therefore, you will get a parking spot for $10. All proceeds will go to Building Blocks 4 Kids.
Come check out our new and exciting location!!!

Pink Truck Project partners with Mary Jo Cropper Family Center for Breast Care
DWC/Pink Truck Project has partnered with Mary Jo Cropper Family for Breast Cancer located at Bethesda North Hospital. DWC had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Susan Weinberg and the Mary Jo Cropper Family for Breast Cancer staff a couple of weeks ago. They advised that no person is turned away – even if you don’t have insurance or your scope of recovery is beyond what insurance pays.
This article was provided by the Spring 2013 edition of the Tri Health Unity magazine…
“Health Care Hero: Susan Weinberg, MD. Spending the past 15 years as medical director for the Breast Center at Bethesda North – and the last 30 on staff – wasn’t enough for this health care hero. In 2009, Dr. Weinberg helped establish the Mary Jo Cropper Family Center for Breast Care. And today, she’s turning that passion into a significant gift for the future of breast health, by donating her life insurance policy – 75 percent to the Cropper Center and 25 percent to Hospice of Cincinnati.
Dr. Weinberg worked with her financial advisor and Bethesda Foundation to make her planned gift possible, and admitted it had never occurred to her to donate that way. “I had no clue that I could do something like this,” she says. But she’s glad she did.
“It’s just a feeling that you’re doing the right thing, that you’re helping the next generation and looking out for others.” Dr. Weinberg says.”
It is an honor to work with Dr. Susan Weinberg and her staff….DWC/Pink Truck Project is excited about our partnership.
Volunteer For Good Health
‘Volunteering does more than just make you feel good. Studies show that people who volunteer live longer, healthier lives and enjoy lower rates of depression and hearth disease. “I witness this daily in volunteers of all ages,” says the Rev Lisa Bryan, supervisor of Volunteer Services for Good Samaritan Hospital. “I think volunteering improves health by improving well-being, from the social aspect of forming friendships to the physical aspect of just being more active. Some of our volunteers log up to five miles a day.”
“As a volunteer, I get to see how patients benefit from what I do firsthand every day – but they give me back as much as I give them,” says Marie Rich, a volunteer with the pet therapy group at Bethesda North Hospital’ Information has been provided by Tri Health News Spring 2013
