3rd Annual iPod Birthday BASH




A GIFT TO REMEMBER | Lenore Thawley (right), President and Founder of the Healing Hunter Foundationgives an iPod to Noemi Torres, a patient at Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel, on Friday. This is the third year that Thawley's foundation has given gifts to youths battling cancer at area hospitals to mark the Sept. 21 birthday of her son, Hunter, who died of Leukemia in 2010.




Healing Hunter Foundation's iPod Birthday BASH - 2013 

The Healing Hunter Foundation donated an iPod Touch to every child battling cancer at 
 Doernbecher Children's Hospital and Randall Children's Hospital on Friday, Sept. 20th in honor of their son Hunter, who lost his battle to AML Leukemia in 2010. 

It's was an amazing fundraising effort and 
with the help, support and love of all of their sponsors, fans,
friends and family, they were able to donate 40 iPods this year!!!!!

The kids were truly, over the moon, with excitement
when they received their spunky, lil packages that contained
a 4th Generation, 16gig iPod Touch.

Hand delivered with love, these gifts provide amazing
amounts of entertainment and joy while these brave, lil'
warriors go through treatment, usually for weeks or months at a time.

It opens up a whole world of FUN for them
right at their fingertips and they are always greatly appreciated!
