Ronald McDonald Dinner


We hosted our "It's a Magic Party" dinner for the families living at the Ronald McDonald House on Saturday, July 8 and we also hosted a "Fun in the Sun" dinner for the families as well.  At both of these events, you could see the smiles on many children's faces and their families also.  We thank our volunteers that we had helping us which included some of our scholarship recipients and their families along with family and friends of Aubrey's Foundation.  We host these dinners four times a year and if you and your family are interested in helping with one of these, please send an email to Nancy@aubreyrose.org.

Hopeful Hearts for Children Picnic 

Elvis Lives!!!
On Sunday, August 20, Aubrey's Foundation held a picnic for all of the families who are part of the Hopeful Hearts for Children Support Group through Cincinnati Children's Hospital.  Julie Balzano heads up this group for anyone who would like to join, please send Julie an email at jbalzano@fuse.net.  The theme of our picnic was "Elvis Lives" and a performance was done by the man himself.  Half way through the concert, inflatable guitars were given out to the kids and they had a mini concert with Elvis.  It was a beautiful day filled with great friendship and much laughter.  Thank you to all who came to participate.

Volunteer Highlight:  Nancy Musser

Our very first volunteer!!! 

Nancy Musser has been with Aubrey's Foundation from before  day 1.  Nancy is one of our Board members, she volunteers with American Girl Fashion Show, with the Golf Outing, with our Dance and whatever else we are working on - she is a key to our success in making the Foundation grow.  Her enthusiasm is always there.  Her expertise is with operations and finance and her talents have been a huge asset to the organization.

Nancy is one of our key spokespersons for the Foundation.  She is always communicating to people about what we do, what we stand for and always promoting how we can help others.  Aubrey's Foundation thanks Nancy from the bottom of our hearts and double lungs for all of her unending support and passion for helping to put smiles on the faces of many children and their families!!!

Foundation Wrap Up: Closing Notes

A personal note from Nancy and Jerry,
We would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support of Aubrey's Foundation.  We are now 5 years in existence and it's quite amazing as to what we are accomplishing.  We couldn't do this without the help of many dedicated volunteers who help with many aspects of Aubrey's Foundation.  We would like to point out some very special people who help to run this Foundation - it's our two other children, Carly and Spencer, and Nancy's Mom and Dad, George and Nancy Frondorf.  Carly is getting ready to go to Ohio State for her sophomore year of school and Spencer is a Senior at LaSalle High School.  It's very exciting to see them take ownership of Aubrey's Foundation and wanting to help it grow.  For Aubrey's grandparents, they loved Aubrey with all of their heart and souls and her Foundation means everything to them.  They are at every event doing whatever needs to get done so that the Foundation can help others.  They take great pride in knowing that Aubrey's short life is helping other children to live longer and to smile!  We know Aubrey is up in Heaven looking down on us and guiding our every move!  We ask for prayers from you to help us continue to help others! 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and double lungs!!!
