The Addi and Cassi Fund Presents:
Moonlight Garden Gala
A benefit for Childhood Alzheimer’s (NP-C)
On Saturday, May 10, 2008, 1000 friends and family joined us for a sold out star-filled night at the new Downtown Reno Ballroom to help find a cure to “Childhood Alzheimer’s” (Niemann-Pick Type C), a rare, progressive and fatal neurological disease that is robbing children of all ages around the world of their ability to walk, talk, or even remember the name of their favorite stuffed animal.
The event was a mystical evening of hope, wonder and childhood dreams as we honored our four-year-old twins, Addi and Cassi Hempel, and children all over the world who suffer from Niemann Pick Tyep C. Our guests will be treated to an elegant evening with a celebrity performance by Meilnda Doolittle and Terry Fator. We held silent and live auctions, uplifting music in this enchanting atmosphere and transformed the ballroom into a beautiful moonlit garden, designed in the spirit of a child’s imagination, with tree-lined paths, twinkle lights, fireflies and a fountain of wishes.
Would love to volunteer my time and resources in helping with this event. Please call me or email when the time is right. 775-852-9462 or kellevenezia@sbcglobal.net

Hi there,
My name is Shannon Dunlap and I also have three year old twins. Jay and Mya will turn 4 in February. I read your story in the paper and was inspired to write to you. I would like to offer my help in two ways:
One, I own a business here in Reno called SOAK Nail Spa + Lounge. Our website is http://www.soaklounge.com. I would be happy to donate two of our seasonal pedicures to the auction in May. Please contact Neal at 324-7399. I will let him know someone may be calling.
In addition, I would like to invite you and your girls to be our guests for two little miss and one Mommy pedicure at SOAK. Both my son and daughter LOVE this treat. We can do all three pedi’s at one time, with you all sitting together. We will do sparkling cider in fancy glasses and bling out those little toes with flowers or rhinestones if they like. For mom a great pedi with a hot stone
massage. Just guessing but I bet you could all use a little time out and TLC. If you are interested please just give me a call.
Wishing your family a wonderful holiday,
Shannon, Darin, Jay and Mya Dunlap
