Riley Foundation Luncheon Brings Tears to Tony Dungy
BY: Marie Koenig, Community Service Committee
On November 17, eight Rotarians from the Community Service committee attended the annual Riley Foundation luncheon (Hope Happens Here) at the downtown Marriott. The luncheon was heart-warming (and delicious!). Anne Ryder did a great job as MC; Tony Dungy understandably was teary-eyed speaking about their own child with medical problems. “I really like the way Riley has the patients involved with videos, giving people a tour of the Simon Tower video, and actually speaking at the luncheon about their Riley experience,” said Marie. “Especially effective was how so many of the patients have interacted with other patients and implemented their own fundraisers for Riley.”
