CODA Fundraiser




The weekend of August 15th the Utah chapter of Little People of America had the opportunity to assist a new non-profit organization with their fundraiser. CODA is an organization that was started by Matt Roloff (Little People, Big World) and Marty Klebba(Pirates of the Caribbean) to help raise money for LP adoptions and higher education. Each year they hold a fundraiser in a different city, this year it was in Salt Lake.

Our local chapter set up a booth and did pirate tattoos for the little kids. Marty and another Pirate actor did autograph signings, there was two showings of the first Pirate movie and a silent auction. It wasn't as largly attended as they hoped, but still did well in the fundraising.

We had a lot of fun being apart of this fundraiser and hope they choose our city again. Here are a couple of pictures. One is with Adawna and I with the two Pirate actors, the other is a bunch of us with the Jack Sparrow look a like they hired from Disney.
