4th Annual Rylee's Rally Resource Fair

The next Rylee's Rally Resource Fair will be held in April 2011

Sunday, April 26, 2009

2009 marked our second year hosting Rylee's Rally
in the tri-state (OH, KY, WV) area.
Each year we are amazed by the outstanding support
of our participating vendors and community sponsors.
Our success is only possible because of the continued encouragement
and involvement of those involved.
To all those who helped this year-
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for allowing these children
to touch your heart, as they and their families teach us all
that they are not defined by a diagnosis.
