Help Ace help our kids with Highrollers with Heart

Contributed by: Billie McCluskey on 10/3/2006

Anyone who surfs their Internet to the Highrollers with Heart Web page, www.highrollerswithheart.org, or the group's MySpace page, www.myspace.com/highrollerswithheart, will immediately see that Colorado's own Ace Young was serious about his commitment to kids and The Children's Hospital. Since gaining national recognition as the Boulder kid with the good looks and the great falsetto on American Idol, he has refused to let fame blind him from a mission he and his family started years ago at Denver Children's Hospital to help our kids in need.

Through his recent fame, Ace was able to form Highrollers with Heart, whose current mission is to raise enough money to build a special "Family Amenities Area" at the new state-of-the-art Children's Hospital,which is slated to open Fall 2007. The total cost of the FAA is $1.5 million. Once completed, it will ease the lives of families whose children are staying in the hospital by giving them a comfortable place to sleep, providing a lounge, internet access and laundry facilities so they don't have to go far from their sick or injured children,according to Ace on the Highrollers with Heart Web site.

Speaking from personal experience, you have no idea how great Children's Hospital really is until you are associated with a child who has to be there. As a result, helping to support this campaign is a solid yes for my family. I would feel honored if writing this could help the cause.

I have met Ace and several of his family members and can vouch that Ace is sincere when he states that the "true value of celebrity is that it expands our ability to be able to help others." This undertaking is a passion for them. I know they would love nothing more than for the Denver area to embrace the quest and help make the Family Amenities Area at Children's a reality. Safe tax deductible donations can be made online through the Web site.

I challenge all our area hubs to help Ace help our kids.

Highrollers with Heart is a continuation of the great work that Ace Young has been doing for over 8 years. It's so wonderful that now his fans can help him to give to Childrens. I'm happy to be a part of this undertaking!
