Through Facebook I recently found out that Holly Appolloni Krupa (Bellaire High School 1988) is in a battle for her life with breast cancer, she is married to Bob Krupa & the mother to their 4 year old daughter. . . some friends are having a benefit for her/the family in august. below is an "FYI" post about the benefit & what help is needed.
I would like to suggest that we take a collection from our classmates to donate. If interested please email me. xo-Lisa

I realize that some of you don’t know Holly, aren’t local, and won’t be coming to the benefit. Thank you so much for joining our group anyway. Your prayers are appreciated! This message is for people that have asked what they can do to help with the benefit. There are so many of you and I appreciate that! It’s just easier for me to post this message to all group members. Committee members will be forwarding this message on to their friends who are not on Face Book. Feel free to forward yourself if you know someone who would like to help.
Many of you have asked if there is anything you can do to help with the benefit. There is. There are actually several things we need help with. First of all, the raffles—we will be auctioning off theme baskets, tubs of stuff, gift cards, and craft donations. We need people to donate this stuff. It can get pricey for one person to do a whole basket. Maybe a group of friends can go together or you can ask co-workers to contribute. For example, my library is doing a “Mr. Clean basket.” Whoever wants to contribute can bring in something like a mop, a bottle of dish detergent, Windex, etc. I’ll put all this stuff in a tub and then we raffle it off. Listed below are some basket theme ideas. If there is a name next to the basket, it is already being taken care of.
Hair products (Kim Delvecchio)
Nail care products (Kim Delvecchio)
WVU basket (Tiffany Redman)
Wine lovers basket (Barbara Smarrella)
OSU basket
Steelers basket

Newborn baby girl basket
Newborn baby boy basket
Crayola basket (kid’s art supplies)
holiday décor basket (4th of July, Halloween, Christmas, etc —some maybe hard to find in the summer)
Pet care basket

Chocolate lovers basket
Coffee lovers basket

Hot wheels basket (cars, etc for little boys)

These are some ideas from members of the committee. You may have better ones! Feel free to come up with your own theme. Please just Facebook or e-mail me jamteasdale@hotmail.com to let me know if you’d like to be responsible for a basket. If you are part of the Face Book “Pray for Holly Appolloni Krupa group” please post your basket choice to the wall so nobody else picks it.
