Zoltan Mesko Foundation donates $5000 to Hasbro Children's Hospital Miracle Wraps Mall (raffle ticket donation followup)

Submitted by ZoltanMeskoFou… on

Hi MGoBloggers,

Tim North here with an update from the Zoltan Mesko Foundation.  I posted in October about the Celebrities for Charity x Zoltan Mesko Foundation "London Ticket Raffle" we were promoting at the time to raise inital funds for our new foundation.  I am happy to report that from the revenue we raised we have recently donated $5000 to Hasbro Children's Hopspital (link below) and another $5000 to Boston Children's Hopsital.  All the proceeds go towards efforts to help brighten the holidays for the patients and their families during a difficult time.  Please visit the link below for more info (I will be updating a link to the Boston Children's Hospital release when it is availible.)

In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, we have reached out to foundations that support the community of Newton, CT and are currently in the process of making a donation.  I will provide more information when I know more...

I know that a few MGoBlog members had specific questions in regards to the foundations and causes we are focused on supporting, and I hope this helps to give a more clear direction of where we will be headed in the future.  Again, we can't thank enough for all of your support and we encourage you to "like" us on Facebook for updates on Zoltan's weekly volutneer work (he has yet to miss a week all season) as well as future campaigns we will be launching in the near future - expected mid-January

Happy Holidays and Go Blue!

Tim North

"On December 18, 2012, football player Zoltan Mesko visited the children and families at Hasbro Children's Hospital. During his visit Zoltan presented the Hospital with $5,000 from the Zoltan Mesko Foundation to help support the Miracle Wraps Mall program.

Miracle Wraps Mall is a program that was set up for the patients of Hasbro Children's Hospital to shop during the holiday season. Miracle Wraps Mall is a mini-mall set up in the hospital, complete with a bank, store, gift-wrapping station and food court."

Thanks MGoShoe, we really want to make sure we are being as tranasparent as possible with everything and keep the community in the loop.  We know how involved and detail-oriented Michigan Football fans are with all activity surrounding the program (... MGoBlog followers obviously taking it to another level) so we don't want to leave anyone in the dark or left guessing.  As I mentioned in a previous post, we exceed our goals with the initial raffle ticket fundraiser so we are able to do a few more things donation-wise right now than originally planned.  A large majority of the revenue from the raffle is being budgeted to pay for the upfront costs of this year's ZoliOke event in June as we really hope to make it a much larger production than last year.

I'll make sure to continue keeping MGoBlog updated as we progress.  Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have along the way and if you have any other resources you might be able to help us out with outside of cash donations please do not hesitate to reach out!

Thanks again everyone!

Tim
