1>0 First RAM EXPEDITION

The 1>0 girls will be volunteering in a Kentucky RAM Expedition on June 19th and 20th. This will be the largest clinic RAM has ever done in Kentucky. This expedition, which will provide free health care to uninsured and underinsured Americans, has been made possible from donations given by you!

Some first time clinics are Autism, Podiatry, Dermatology, Oral Cancer, Colo-rectal cancer, a variety of women's health clinics, and drug addiction intervention. Physician training for 2 days is being provided by the US Public Health Service.

In addition, RAM will have over 300 dental personnel for an 80 chair dental clinic. They will also provide the usual medical clinics such as general health, diabetic clinics, full cardiology clinic, osteopath clinic, men and womens health, mammograms, and routine laboratory work. RAM will have 600 volunteers!

So...if you have donated to 1>0, you have helped to provide much needed healthcare to a fellow American. This person is someone's parent, wife, husband, sister, brother, grandparent, or child.

Fortune 52

Hey everyone! It's Ariel! On May 3 Anjelica, Jessica and I went to Fortune 52! Fortune 52 is an event held by the Long Island Press which honors amazing women. We were so excited to hear everyone’s story while socializing with other people who own businesses. We want to thank Beverly Fortune for putting on such an amazing event at the Tills Center at C.W. Post. We loved meeting everyone and getting to share our story with more people! We are looking forward to the next event.

P.S. Amazing job Project Heal girls!

Bellmore JFK High School Raises $3562.64!

It's Sammi! What an AMAZING outpouring of support from the students & staff at Bellmore JFK High School!!! The school helped 1>0 raise thousands of dollars to supply free healthcare to Americans in need.

On Friday April 30^th, 207 participants walked in the “1>0 Walk for Healthcare”. Students arrived at the registration table, and in exchange for a minimum $10 donation to 1>0, students were given 1>0 logo tees, a ticket for free ice cream for the first 100 registrants and a free bottle of water. The students, staff and administration walked the track, enjoyed the beautiful weather and some fun music, and raised money and awareness for a great cause. This event was the culmination of a week filled with fundraising efforts including a “Change for Healthcare” contest that was supported by the Social Studies Department. Each Social Studies class collected change, with the top four classes receiving homemade (by 1>0!) baked goods as their prize!

The “Walk for Healthcare” and the “Change for Healthcare” events together raised $3562.64! The money raised will be donated to Remote Area Medical (www.ramusa.org) so that Bellmore JFK High School , along with 1>0, can help sponsor a Weekend Medical Clinic. Remote Area Medical (RAM) supplies free medical care to Americans in need and they can service more than one thousand people in a single weekend. Since RAM relies on the generosity of volunteers and the donation of most supplies and equipment, it is possible for a $5 donation to cover free medical, dental or vision treatment for one person.

Way to go Bellmore JFK High School!!!!

Thank You Jazz Unlimited!

Hi! It's Kayla! The Jazz Unlimited Dance School in Cherry Hill, New Jersey recently had a "Dance For A Cause" dance recital and they donated their profits to One Is Greater Than None!

We were invited to the event and it was so much fun! All of the dance performances were choreographed by the dancers, and they were all really amazing. None of us could believe how great they were. By raising money on their own, selling tickets to the recital, and organizing a raffle, the recital raised OVER 6,500 DOLLARS!!!!!!! We were so overwhelmed and excited that kids were able to raise such a huge amount of money!

Even if they hadn't raised as much as they did, we could still tell that these dancers were so passionate about making a difference...which they did. With the money they raised, they were able to sponsor the rescue of 11 year old Francis Agbesi who started working as a slave on Lake Volta when he was only 5 years old. Their money is also going to help sponsor a Remote Area Medical expedition in the fall.

These dancers are truly incredible! THANK YOU JAZZ UNLIMITED!

Andrew Baker Came To Visit Us!

Hey guys! It's Jessica. Andrew Baker, from the Encouragement Foundation came and paid us a visit. If you remember, the Encouragement Foundation awarded One Is Greater Than None "The Most Encouraging Teens in America." At our meeting, Andrew gave us a check for $5000 that we had won along with the award! It was very cool. He also came to show us the documentary that he had finished. It follows Andrew and the Encouragement Foundation on their 7 days across America journey and all the amazing teens that he showcased, including 1>0! After the screening of the documentary, we all had dinner together. What a terrific night!

Ally Katz Tween Summit - California

Hi! It's Chelsea. In March, I went to California to speak at the Ally Katz Tween Summit. It was absolutely amazing! It was held at UCLA which is such a beautiful campus.

I had the chance to meet so many wonderful people who, like me, just wanted to help. I was apart of a group of charities who had the chance to speak with over 100 tween girls about the phrase, "Do something! Do anything!" It's such a simple concept but the things that we are able to achieve when we work hard and together!

The tweens were so inspiring to us because they had such enthusiasm. We met with Brook White. What a great weekend!
