Supply Our Students, a 501(c) (3) organization, is having its First Annual Celebration of a Community of Compassion on February 10 at the Hotel Del promoting and highlighting Nicolas Brown in Coronado, CA
February 3, 2015 Coronado, California – Supply Our Students (SOS), located in Coronado, California, focuses on helping children and families in need of school supplies, clothing, equipment, transportation, social activities, educational and county resource information and children’s fitness programs. Each year, Supply Our Students will organize a community event with a special spotlight on a child in need in San Diego County. SOS is having its First Annual Celebration of a Community of Compassion on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at the Sundeck at the Hotel Del Coronado. It will be a “Blue Dress” event along with a blue carpet, so make sure to wear anything blue! This year, SOS has selected Nicolas Brown as the child we will promote and highlight during this very special event. Nicolas who we have dubbed “Nado Nic” because of his long-time residency in Coronado, CA, has been afflicted with Myotubular Myopathy (MTM) since birth and requires extensive 24/7 care.
Our First Annual Celebration on February 10, 2015 will be exciting and unique with presentations and accolades by official and community leaders, national journalists, business owners, and military provide personnel. Our guest, Fred Dickey, a national journalist for the San Diego Union Tribune, will make a special presentation at our event. Had it not been for Mr. Dickey’s care and concern about Nicolas Brown, the community would not have been able to help Nicolas raise funds to purchase a wheelchair accessible van for Nado Nic. Since Nado Nic has such extensive needs and is 100% dependent upon a ventilator and suction machine, a special conversion van is required so Nado Nic and his mother have been working diligently with various van conversion companies to purchase the van of their dreams! In addition, the Coronado Mayor, Coronado Police Chief, Coronado Fire Chief, Coronado High School Principal, and executives from Sony Entertainment will be speaking as well! Elite members of the military will perform a special presentation for Nicolas. There will be light bites, dancing, face painting, and entertainment! Remember to bring jackets as this is an outdoor event!
SOS hired a professional documentary videographer to capture highlights of this event as well as other community efforts in its desire to produce a short-film documentary about Nado Nic, MTM, the First Annual event, and the generous outpouring of our community’s compassion shown in helping Nado Nic and others similarly situated in our county. This is an RSVP event only, so all participants must register and pay on line at www.sostudents.com or by telephone to (619) 313-4212. With entry tickets at only $20 for adults and no charge for children, this will certainly be a sold-out event! All children must also register on-line to make the RSVP list although their entry is free!
