Our Cuddy Winner & my good friend John Theissen!

Cuddly winner John Theissen purchased 100 "cuddlies" to donate to the kids in need for his charity John Theissen Children's Foundation.

The charity began 18 years ago, when Theissen discovered he had a brain tumor at the age of 17. The charity grants wishes across to kids from Long Island and the New York area. I became friends with John 7 years ago when I worked for the NY Islanders. He has been a dear friend since and I am proud to support him!

The next fundraiser will take place Friday May 21, 2010 for the 8th Annual Casino Royale @ the Woodbury Country Club in Long Island, of course my family and I will be there as usual!
