Joey Saltzman Raises Funds for Pujols Family Foundation

6.1.07

The PFF wants to recognize a very special young lady who chose to bless our organization with her generosity; her name is Joey Saltzman. Being inspired by a friend with Down syndrome, Joey felt compelled to do something to raise money and awareness for the Down syndrome community and the PFF. Here are Joey's own words:

"My name is Joey Saltzman and I am studying Hebrew for my Bat Mitzvah in August. As part of the preparation, we are asked to do a Mitzvah Project which shows that we care about the community and others. For my Mitzvah Project I decided to have a bake sale to raise money for the Pujols Family Foundation. One of my closest friends has a brother with Down syndrome and I enjoy watching Albert Pujols at Cardinal baseball games. My project was called, "Dimes for Down Syndrome" and I sold baseball decorated cookies and cupcakes with baseballs and Cardinal helmets on them. I raised $160 for the Pujols Family Foundation. I plan on having another bake sale next year to continue raising money for this charity."

All of us at the PFF salute Joey and her selfless act of serving others. Her efforts prove that anyone at any age can make a difference in the community.
