Gabby was one of my best friends , our Moms were friends and I don’t ever remember a time when I didn’t know her.  We would laugh and play.  We swam together every day in the summers and loved spending the night at each other’s houses.  We made cookies at Gabby’s house and had BBQ...

The University of Denver men’s and women’s lacrosse teams have volunteered for Bags of Fun for the past 5 years.  Stuffing and delivering Bags of Fun to kids who are in the fight of their lives is the highlight of their day.  The smiles that they receive from the kids at the hospital is pretty spectacular as well.
