Golf Gives the Gift of Music to Little Ears
Our sincere thanks to all who participated in the Cheshire AV Golf Tournament. A special thanks goes out to all volunteers and to Rosemary (Rosie) Obi for their work in making this a fun and exciting success. 
 
Almost $4200 was raised to support the music therapy program at Golisano Children's Hospital. Rosie, a licensed, board-certified music therapist, uses music to work with children and adolescents who are experiencing side effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy or who are having difficulty tolerating painful procedures.

This program has been highly successful and is funded through gifts and donations. 
 
We're proud to share that over the past five years, with your help, we've raised close to $18,000 to help sustain  programs such as this that benefit many children throughout the community.


Our thanks to Joe Pelingrafor photographing this event.

We hope your summer's been terrific and that you've had a chance to enjoy a little rest and relaxation.

Since we last shared our news, we've held a golf tournament, had an amazing summer barbecue and been on the road quite a bit, so we thought we'd catch you up on some of our activities and share photos of the fun!
Cheshire on the Road in Carlsbad, CA
Cheryl Burke
Introducing...Celebrity Dancer Cheryl Burke

RB General Session
The look of the stage changed for each presentation
At their Sales and Marketing Meeting held in Carlsbad, CA, Reckitt-Benckiser was presenting a broad array of products and information to the 300 person sales force in attendance, so they wanted to ratchet up the excitement and energy level.  Each 45 minutes, when the presenter and product switched, Cheshire changed the entire look and feel of the stage to create a dynamic and thrilling environment.

Working with Sue Avery of Avery Marketing, we handled all facets of production on this meeting, including audio, lighting, presentation management and original content creation in both slides and video.

During one of the evening events, attendees were surprised by a special treat...Celebrity Dancer Cheryl Burke of Dancing with the Stars took to the stage to wow audience members with her spectacular dance performance.

The Cheshire Chicken Barbecue...Something to Crow About
Chicken Nazi
Who could resist Deb, our smiling "Chicken Nazi?"

How many barbecues have you attended that can claim the fame of having their own "Chicken Nazi?" Well, we can! And no one even bok bok boked at the door when our Manager of Administration & Finance Debbie Harradine asked them to purchase tickets for the raffle. That's what helped raise well over $800 to benefit Hillside Children's Center...and that's not just chicken feed!

So thanks to everyone who joined us and helped put the fun in this Fundraiser!
