Over $2000 was raised for Crosswinds' "PAWS on Reading" program, in which youth learn improved reading and communication skills and, most importantly, relationship-building skills in a loving, safe environment, through interaction with Crosswinds' dogs. Jasmine and Luke, certified therapy dogs, made a guest appearance at the event. Ms. Hixon also donated autographed copies of her books, Turtle's Way: Loggy, Greeny & Leather, and Sea Turtles A-Z: Loggy, Greeny & Leather, for use in the reading program. Many thanks to Dr. Fornes and Ms. Hixon and to all who participated in this wonderful fundraiser.
