Biggest Loser Wrap-up and Operation Dorm Update


SYI BLC
The SYI Biggest Loser Challenge came to an end on August 19th. Together, the13 contestants lost more than 65 pounds in 12 weeks.  The winner, who competed under the pseudonym “Brook Trout”, lost more than 6% of their body weight.  The competition brought in $730 for Operation Dorm! 

A Big THANK YOU to all who participated!


Operation Dorm Update
The second and third installments for Operation Dorm has already been sent and received by PASK.  They have purchased a significant amount of building materials and started the foundation.  The third installment of $1000 went out via Western Union this week.  Vertical progress with the dorm should be apparent very soon!  SYI is expecting more photos from PASK by the middle of September. 

You might also notice that the total raised is nearly $10,000 now.  This increase is due to the Biggest Loser Challenge and a large donation from St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Illinois.  


THANK YOU for all of the support.  The PASK children mean the world to me.  I truly appreciate everyone who has helped SYI make a difference in their precious lives.
