Tiffany Wood (age 11), with Healthy Families Pasco (Dade City, FL) has been selected as the national winner for our recent coloring contest named "A new picture of hope...". We feel that her slogan "The Flag is Still Standing" really depicts the hope that our nation feels despite the recent tragedies of September 11th. Eventhough the World Trade Center towers fell, our flag and nation are still standing strong. Thank you Tiffany for reminding us that there is still much hope in these difficult times. We believe your picture (shown below) sends a positive message to all children and adults for hope for the future. Tiffany...we salute your heart!

In addition to her prizes, a $100 donation has been made to President Bush's American Children's Fund for Afghans on Tiffany's behalf and the Health Families Pasco organization. Her original drawing will be mailed to President Bush along with the donation. Thank you for speaking up and supporting other hurting children who cannot help themselves.

Thanks to the many children who spread hope this past season by your coloring sheets put up for display in your local malls, restaurants and businesses. The responses we have received let us know that many were touched by the voice of children.
