Grandma Carol reports that Emma's benefit was a huge success:
"There were about 700 people there and they served 650 dinners. On Thursday and Friday, they had lots and lots of silent auction items brought in. Many sets of sporting event tickets, theater tickets, etc. Some of them worth $200 to $400 each. It was bigger than anyone of us imagined. We did run out of spaghetti just before it was time to quit. We cooked 70 pounds of spaghetti noodles and served 60 pounds of salad! They deposited several thousand dollars into an account for Emma. Money for the silent auction items and other donations have been coming in also."

An improbable smile spreads across baby Emma Kissock’s face, and it’s enough to melt the coldest heart. Nearly a year old, Emma has plenty of reasons not to smile, but despite it all, she remains an insufferably happy baby.

“She doesn’t have a care in the world,” said mom Robin Kissock, a 1994 CHS grad. “She’s so happy-go-lucky.”
