Mark your June Calendar!! Last year The Writers Pen & Grill Hosts Gregory Kompes & Tena Thompson held a fundraising event night for Coloring For Chemo. The evening turned into a huge success and they are hosting the event again this year on June 13, 2012 at PT's Gold, 6570 South Buffalo Dr. @ the 215 Buffalo exit. Las Vegas NV 89113 702-614-7673
Coloring for Chemo is a non-profit foundation focusing on bringing art therapy to cancer patients and their families. For more information http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coloring-for-ChemoColoring-for-Comfort/101698956539660

Children suffering from Cancer spend days and months in a hospital. Coloring for Chemo delivers baskets filled with Coloring books, crayons, paints and markers. Art therapy is a wonderful expression for children. 
Amy Villareale Hardy with some help from her friends donates countless hours to this cause. Her mission is to bring joy and a smile to a child who can't do everyday activities a child should enjoy. To see their smile and watch them create colorful beautiful pictures is rewarding beyond words! We hope you can come out for the evening or take some time to look into Coloring for Chemo.

To attend please bring new and unused any of the following items: Coloring Books, Crayons, paints or markers. 
This event is open to anyone who would like to attend. Invite your friends and come out to support a fantastic cause, socialize and enjoy food and drinks (everyone is responsible for their own food and drinks) 
If you are unable to attend the event on June 13th but would like to make a donation. You can make a cash donation by sending a check made payable to "Coloring for Chemo" to Gregory Kompes, PO Box 570368, Las Vegas, NV 89157. Gregory will gladly pass your donations along.
