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. |

Feb. 6, 2010 Dear John, Give Kids A Smile was a great success and your organization played a big part in it. This year over 1400 children were treated to a day of dental screenings and dental education. They watched dental videos and saw puppet shows and got a tour of the firefighters museum and then had their snacks and got their great back packs. They loved the back packs especially the Blues Clue coloring book and crayons. The event was the best GKAS day in the 7 years since it started and Project HOTSHOTS really helped us succeed. Thank you for your generosity and support. The left over back packs are on their way to Haiti with a group of dentists and we are proud to send them. Hope to continue being a part of Project HOTSHOTS for many more events. Thanks again, Joe Brofsky Chairperson Give Kids A Smile Sponsors -- HyperDrive Editorial
-- Wilson Family -- Grech Family
-- Dr. Joseph Brofsky, --The Sabini Family

=============================== note to Dr. Joe: Thank you for letting us be a part of this wonderful program. We look forward to next year's event. JG

Dear John,
I wanted to write to tell you how much we appreciate the work you do. We are the only little league in this area and have very little in the way of funding.
Many of our players come from low income families and are unable to pay registration dues. Those who do pay, send what they can afford which is normally very little.
You and Project HOTSHOTs have been a true blessing. We are able to have a complete season without denying anyone, thanks to you. We greatly appreciate the donated equipment and will never forget you.
Sincerely,
Luis Neco
President -
Cramer Hill Little League in Camden, NJ NOTE: Mr. Neco mentioned to me that there is a gentleman in their community who takes baseball mitts apart, puts them back together and creates new mitts out of the excess leather. Wow. We doubled our efforts to get the Cramer Hill LL more baseball gloves and the students of Oceanside turned out BIG TIME. - Mr. Neco, 3 boxes of baseball mitts are on their way to you via UPS as you read this.

More HOTSHOTS to be proud of!
 The Aledo High School (Aledo, TX) student body is the latest group of young HOTSHOTS to make us proud. Perhaps you read about them or saw some news coverage... if not, check this out Here. and Here.
In short, the Senior Class voted Miss Kristin Pass their Homecoming Queen for 2008. Kristin, (center) who has Down Syndrome is absolutely thrilled! She's flanked by runners up Erica Pace (l.) and Kelsey Williams (r.)
Now if only we can convince Kristin, her sister Kendall and their awesome friends to run our 2009 Backpack Operation Texas-style! (I think it's a go!)

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
