Ohio In The News

The Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky chapter has been raising a lot of awareness for Cerebral Palsy for many months now. The chapter, is led by Pam Franks, has held a CP Awareness Day at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, have partnered with local Kroger Grocery Stores to do lemonade stands, participated in a Disability Employment Awareness Day in downtown Cincinnati, working on a logo license plate campaign, and holds regular meetings. We have raised over $6,000 for RFTS so far. If you are a parent of a child with CP in the Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky area, please contact Pam to get involved. Your help would be welcomed with open arms!

We have made a lot of wonderful contacts for the logo license plate campaign.Our RFTS logo was shown on the large movie screen on the top of a building during the Disability Employment Awareness Day, along with logos of all the participating companies. The increasing interest in Cerebral Palsy in this area is growing rapidly. We are asking everyone to contact ANYONE they know in Ohio to ask them if they know about the logo plates. You can download the petition form here and snail mail it in as soon as possible. If you have any problems with downloading or need further questions answered contact Pam at 513-385-6850 or email her.
