Family Fun Day!!

On March 22, at the Hampshire Hills ballroom, nearly $18,000 was raised during "A Night for Jaiden". The Jaiden Lyndi Tlapa Foundation is off to a wonderful start, and as we continue to refine our mission and objectives; Jaiden's spirit lives on.

We have officially received non profit status from the Sate of NH and we are processing our Federal application now. By this summer, we hope to have our website up and running. Our primary objective is to assist critically injured and terminally ill local children and their families with resources and financial assistance during and after tragedies.
We are also setting up a scholarship fund at Milford High School for a graduating senior who exemplifies the "Spirit of Jaiden," and planning to continue to support the Wadleigh Memorial Library Aquarium pass.

The next fundraising event will be Family Fun Day, held at the Hampshire Hills Dome in Milford, NH; on Saturday, June 7, from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM.

Admission to the Dome is free; donations will be accepted at the door, and most of the activities will have nominal feels. All funds generated will go directly to the Foundation.

3 Seperate Jump Houses (for ages 2-4, 5-8 and 9-12)

Thank you to everyone who attended Family Fun Day. We had a full parking lot and a steady line of families throughout the day.

I was pleased to see so many happy, smiling children and parents; all coming together in Jaiden's name.

We have been inundated with requests for assistance so I will be busy the next few weeks putting together action plans and contacting families. I will be posting our progress on the new site with updates on who we are helping and how.

We are about ready to start planning for the 1st Annual Golf Tournament on Jaiden's 9th Birthday, September 22, 2008.

For this event we will be recruiting corporate sponsors begining in the next few weeks.

Thanks again for all your love and support.
