WordWise Inc., a developer of educational publishing materials, has instituted a corporate giving program this year. For each project WordWise completes for one of its educational publishing clients during the year, WordWise will make a contribution to either Project HOTSHOTS or the 4K for Cancer. Each client decides to which of these charities the donation corresponding to their project will be made; or they can decide to split the donation between the two charities. WordWise will make these contributions twice yearly. As a result of this corporate giving program WordWise is donating $1,050 to project HOTSHOTS for the first half of 2010. |

 Dear Project HOTSHOTS,
I wanted to write you all personally to thank you for the generous donation of backpacks and school supplies. When the kids got them they were absolutely flabbergasted and beyond excited. It is always great to see how many people truly care about making a real difference, and I want to tell you that your organization's efforts a making a difference.
My foundation is in its eighth year of supporting elementary schools. And I have seen many generous and kind gestures. But the 200 backpacks with all the supplies are among the highlights of our short history. The schools we work with are all Title 1, and the kids who got the backpacks are among the neediest. They will be put to good use, I can assure you of that.
On behalf of everyone at my foundation, and especially the teachers and students, I cannot thank you, your project volunteers, and all of your donors enough for their caring, generous nature. Please keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Gary Carter

The Son Shines Brightly
 What a fantastic kid. This young HOTSHOT is absolutely incredible.
Frankie Gaetani (Lynbrook, NY) age 11, has raised $5,000 for the National Kidney Foundation as his dad (and best friend) Joseph endures hours and hours of dialysis. Joe suffers from diabetes and chronic renal failure.
We are proud of Frankie Gaetani and all of our young HOTSHOTS. Please read more Here.
Of course, prayers and happy thoughts to Joe, wife Nancy and family. _________________________________________________ |

From Jose & Susan Feliciano: |
|
 Since my husband, Jose, and I have become involved with Project HOTSHOTS, we have learned of some of the fine work that the organization has accomplished.
It seems like a rather simple concept and could very easily have been overlooked by less astute individuals who don't consider the basic fact that when a child goes to school, the self-esteem of feeling prepared can make all the difference in their otherwise dismal world.
Imagine! To have a new, clean, intact backpack on your shoulder, filled with sharpened pencils and new crayons all in their box and pens that work!
Now these children feel as though they are ready to learn; to meet the challenge of their day, prepared with the basic tools that so many of us take for granted. Don't you feel spiffy when you walk out the door in a new pair of shoes? Providing they don't kill your feet, you feel like you can take on the world! Or, better yet, when you first sit behind the wheel of your new car? You think, "Well, look at me!" It's the same thing for these children who live with so little material goods in their lives -- something like a new backpack for school is a tremendous gift and an asset to their future.
I personally want to thank the people at Project HOTSHOTS who not only saw the need but envisioned the opportunity and have made "life" a better place for so many young people in our world!
The Feliciano Family

note: The Felicianos have been extremely generous, enthusiastic and supportive of the work we do. Jose Feliciano has recently performed for the Pope and the President... and his song "Feliz Navidad" was recently inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. |
