Hula Hoops for the Hospital
Three Cedar Rapids girls used their hula hoop skills to raise money for St. Luke’s Women’s & Children’s Center.
Nine year old Sarah Kaufman, 11 year old Bella Novitch and nine year old Julie Holt are pictured (from left to right) as they present a $60 check to Women’s & Children’s Center Director Diane Seelau and her team.
The girls decided to use their hula hoops – and the resources of their church, Bethany Lutheran – to raise money for the hospital. Sarah was a patient at the Women’s & Children’s Center several years ago and suggested that the money go there.
Why? Sarah said that everyone at the hospital was “really nice!”
