Tom Pierce had an idea. He created a puzzle that few can solve. See for yourself. His patent pending design can now be yours. Tom is selling the “Hillbilly Puzzle” at Jefferson Mall in Louisville near the food court through February 21, 2010.

Tom is generously giving a portion of the proceeds of his puzzle sales to the WHAS Crusade for Children. His puzzle is an official fundraiser for the Crusade.

Valentine theme sets tone for annual fundraiser

Students from Wilt Elementary School in Louisville put their best feet forward and raised money for the WHAS Crusade for Children. The boy and girl who raised the most were crowned King and Queen on Friday, February12, 2010.

Wilt’s 18th year of helping = $85,000 for the Crusade!

Wilt Elementary has a long history of supporting the Crusade for Children and making life better for children with special needs. This is their 18th year of this unique effort. In that time, the students of Wilt have raised more than $85,000 including $4,000 this year alone!

Wilt is part of the Jefferson Country Public Schools.

Thanks kids for all you do to support children with special needs.

Watch video excitement of the ceremony!
