MDA Shamrocks Against Dystrophy!

             
 


J&J Foods is “going for the green” with MDA!
 
This year, J&J Foods is supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the families served by MDA by participating in the Shamrocks Against Dystrophy campaign.
 
In 2011, J&J Foods raised $14,080 and sent 17 deserving children to summer camp. With your help, J&J Foods can send even more kids to camp and create lifelong memories for those children with neuromuscular disease. 
 
The Shamrocks Against Dystrophy campaign also enables MDA to continue to provide essential program services to families throughout north Georgia.  These services include.
 

• $30           Flu Shot
• $85           One minute of research
• $100         One support group session
• $150         One physical, occupational or respiratory therapy consultation
• $200         Professional fees related to initial diagnostic work-up at an MDA clinic
• $500         Assists with the repair of a wheelchair or leg braces for one year
• $800         Sends one child to MDA summer camp

 
With your help, MDA is one step closer to our goal of finding treatments and cures for neuromuscular disease.  If you wish to join us in the fight to eliminate neuromuscular disease, please make your tax-deductible donation to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. 
Please visit your local J&J Foods location to support their Shamrocks Against Dystrophy campaign.  Thank you in advance for supporting J&J Foods and MDA.
