And we're doing it all WITHOUT Highrollers ;) Im teasing! We've been fortunate enough to receive corporate and private donations from well-known and established companies and families in the Pittsburgh Area. Someone should send this to Ace.

Very nice! This will be great for the children in your area. :wheee:

Pittsburgh has the best medical centers in the world..and we get children from all over the world, not just the US. We had a little boy from IRAQ receive a complimentary skin graft because he was a casualty of the war on Terrorism..children from India, Europe and Asia have come here for transplants and cancer treatment.
