Going out dancing for a leisurely evening out together is also good exercise. Instead of going to a movie, try going out dancing together on a Saturday night; casual social dancing is the equivalent of going for a four-mile walk.

This year marks the 28th year of the Howard Hanna Annual Choo Choo Chow Chow Campaign for Children’s Free Care Fund, which assure that children never be denied the best medical care available, whether helping children without healthcare pay for treatment or to fund cutting-edge care that insurance may not cover.

To date, Howard Hanna has donated more than $9.1 million to local children’s hospitals in markets the company serves. In Ann Arbor and Southeast Michigan, Howard Hanna offices raised and donated more than $93,000 over the past 4 years for C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.

•   Catered Barbeque Dinner, Food and Drink

•   Silent Auction, Games and Raffles

•   Music, Square Dancing, Line Dancing and so much more.

  As always, our goal is to exceed last year’s total funds raised. With your help we CAN achieve this goal! Donations, both big and small, can make a direct and immediate impact on the lives and health of young children.

  Here’s how you can help this year’s Hoedown fundraiser:

•   Food Donations for the Hoedown

•   Silent Auction Items

•   Event Sponsors

•   Cash Contributions

•   Attend The Hoedown with family and friends on September 30, 2016.
  The end goal is to raise money for Children’s Free Care Fund benefiting C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. Please
