I realize that Autumn has not officially started, but it's not too soon to mention that Trans Siberian Orchestra will soon be roaring into our area during their winter tour. Why am I mentioning this? Because TSO is known for making donations to local charities/foundations in the towns they tour. And guess what? Hershey, PA in Central Pennsylvania is one of their stops!!!!
Last year our local Epilepsy Foundation was chosen to receive a donation from TSO's ticket sales. What a rush it was to hear Chris Caffery announce on stage, in front of 15,000 people, that one of the recipients for their donation was the Epilepsy Foundation of Central PA.
I am not a selfish person. Which is why I wasn't going to get the ball in motion to see if we can make this happen again. I figured they chose the Epilepsy Foundation last year, so let someone else have a turn. But, my mama always taught me that you never know, unless you ask; and that it doesn't hurt to ask. So... I did. I sent an email to our favorite DJ who works for the sponsoring radio station that helps choose which local charities/foundations will be picked for TSO's donations...
...and was quite ecstatic to receive a reply back letting me know that he would most definitely put the Epilepsy Foundation on the list of charities/foundations to vote for! Exciting right?
I am asking you to do us a favor. If you live in Central PA, and if you or someone you know has epilepsy, please consider sending an email to WINK 104 and let them know why a donation to the Epilepsy Foundaion of Central PA is important to you. A little extra push for our cause won't hurt. If you email me at kaitlinscauze@comcast.net I will give you the email address of the DJ you can write to with your email.
 And... if you don't live in Central PA, you can still help by going to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra when they play in your area. I think it's important to give back to a group who gives to the communities as much as they do. Trust me, you won't be disappointed in their show! Thanks for your help!!! Love Always, Kaitlin
