A special thanks to all of our sponsors! Corporate Sponsors: Advance Orthopaedic Spine Center Dr. Steve Fiore & Mary Kathryn Taylor Patron Sponsors: Never underestimate what a simple gesture can do. It is the
little things that you do that can make a big difference in
other people’s lives. -Catherine Pulsifer SCAN is looking to the local community to hold a penny drive
between October 1st and ending on February 12th, Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday. The penny drive is a celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s
commitment to "malice toward none" and "charity for all" and is one small gesture that you can make to help Stop Child Abuse in our community. A penny can make a huge difference in helping SCAN reach its goal of
preventing and treating child abuse and neglect. With the help from the community we can collect many small pennies that will make one
enormous difference in the lives of local children. To find out more information and how to get involved contact Bethany Leighton at bleighton@grscan.com or by calling 804 257 7226. Greater Richmond SCAN volunteers will be gift wrapping at Barnes and Nobles at Libbie Place throughout November and December.
