HELP THE HODGES!
The NCS Foundation is excited to announce our first major fund raising effort through the use of eBay which launches this coming Thursday, January 21. Many of you, along with our colleagues outside of the NCS, have donated 160 pieces of amazing artwork in a concentrated effort to Help the Hodges.
Tim Hodge is an
animation artist having worked on storyboards for Disney and directing Veggie
Tales projects. His teenage son Matthew, an A student and a drummer in his
Tennessee high school championship marching band, was in an accident involving
his car and a train in August of 2009, and has been in a state of a coma ever
since. Tim's insurance refused to cover Matthew's long-term recovery, and the
financial strain has only added to the emotional strain that the family has been
experiencing.
Several NCS members have partnered with the NCSF to make
this event happen, but we need YOUR HELP to make it a success. We need the word
to get out! If you have a blog, or you frequent chat rooms on the web, please
put in a good word that this event is taking place. And please come bid on
