It’s needed to help save two-year-old Zainab, a South Florida girl who is battling neuroblastoma, a very aggressive form of cancer. 
 
Zainab’s blood is extremely rare because she is missing a common antigen that most people carry on their red blood cells. The antigen is called “Indian B” (Inb). For a person to be a possible match for Zainab, they must also be missing the Indian B antigen, or the little girl's body will reject the blood.  Locating people who are missing the Indian B antigen comes down to genetics.

•	Statistically, the only people who are likely to be a match for Zainab are people of Pakistani, Indian or Iranian descent. Of these populations, less than 4% of the people are actually missing the Indian B antigen. 

To be a match for Zainab a donor must meet the following criteria:
•	Must be exclusively Pakistani, Indian or Iranian descent – meaning the donor’s birth parents are both              
           100% Pakistani, Indian or Iranian  
•	Must be blood type “O” or “A”
•	All donations for Zainab must be coordinated with OneBlood in advance to ensure the additional compatibility testing is performed. Visit https://www.oneblood.org/zainab/ for donation information.

OneBlood is working closely with other blood centers and the American Rare Donor Program (ARDP), an organization that searches the world for rare blood donors. So far, three matching donors have been located, including a donor that ARDP located in the United Kingdom, near London.  It’s the first time OneBlood has ever received an international donor for a local patient.  The other two matching donors are from the United States.

While it’s promising the three donors have been located, additional donors are needed.  Zainab will need blood transfusions for the foreseeable future.  To support her long-term blood needs, the search is on to find at least seven to ten compatible donors. OneBlood is sharing Zainab’s story in the hopes more people who meet the specific donor criteria will come forward to donate for the little girl.  

OneBlood is conducting all compatibility testing of potential donors.  So far, more than 1,000 local donations, as well as donations from other parts of the country have been tested and no additional matches have been identified.

OneBlood is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) community asset responsible for providing safe, available and affordable blood to more than 200 hospital partners and their patients throughout most of Florida, parts of Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina.  Generally healthy people age 16 or older who weigh at least 110 pounds can donate blood. To learn more about OneBlood visit www.oneblood.org.

Fresh baked breads &amp;amp; pastries, homemade pickles, jams &amp;amp; jellies, Gulf fresh seafood, fresh meats, homemade pet treats, handcrafted soaps, essential oils, local honey, made-on-site guacamole, fresh, cut flowers, native plants &amp;amp; trees are just some of the fantastic products available.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since shopping and eating seem to go so well together, the market has endless options. A food truck court and tent vendors offer BBQ, Crepes, Empanadas, Mexican food, German street food and healthy options like Kombucha, health smoothies, Acai bowls and salads.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each season we do our best to give back to the community by offering spaces for non-profits, schools and community groups. Another way we give back is by offering the ability for our EBT/SNAP customers to shop for healthy and affordable food options. We are proud to say that 7 years ago, we were the first market in Lee County to offer ease of shopping for our neighbors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are also proud that we were the first market in Lee County to offer Fresh Access Bucks to our EBT/SNAP customers. This program gives $40.00 extra to purchase Florida grown fruits &amp;amp; veggies at the market. A healthy community is a great outcome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The market can also be very entertaining with great musicians perform during the season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We hope that you choose to make the Cape Coral Farmers Market your Saturday Morning Destination!&lt;/p&gt;

The concert will be a holiday treat for fans of Greenwood, a country pop legend with more than 30 albums to his credit, showcasing his warm interpretations of Christmas favorites as well as a rousing rendition of his signature hit “God Bless the USA.”


With seven #1 songs and 25 charted singles, Greenwood’s hits include: “It Turns Me Inside Out”, “Ring On Her Finger Time on Her Hands,” ”She’s Lyin,” “I Don’t Mind the Thorns if You’re the Rose,” “Dixie Road,” “Somebody’s Gonna Love You,” “Going Going Gone,” “You Got A Good Love Comin,” “Fools Gold,” and “Mornin Ride.” Several crossover hits include “Touch &amp; Go Crazy,” “IOU,” and the duet with Barbara Mandrell, “To Me.” An additional duet with Suzy Bogguss, “Hopelessly Yours,” was nominated for a Grammy. The CD “American Patriot,” recorded and released in 1992, went Platinum in three months.


Greenwood’s latest CD is “I Want to be in Your World.” He wrote three of the seven songs and plays saxophone on the original track, “Here Comes Love There Goes My Heart.” He also covered the Michael McDonald/Kenny Loggins ballad, “You Can Let Go Now.” McDonald is featured playing piano on the song.


Greenwood has won numerous industry awards including Male Vocalist of the year for the Academy of Country Music in 1983, two Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the Country Music Association, 1983 and 1984, and a Grammy for Top Male Vocal Performance in 1985 for “I.O.U.”


He also won CMA Song of the Year in 1985 for writing “God Bless the USA.” 
The song has been voted the most recognizable patriotic song in America.</description><link>https://web.capecoralchamber.com/events/eventdetail.aspx?EventID=4695</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2019 14:25:13 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Cape Coral Farmers' Market - Club Square 12/14/2019 8:00 AM - 12/14/2019 1:00 PM</title><description>&lt;p&gt;The Cape Coral Farmers Market has been a favorite Saturday morning destination for 26 years. Over the years, we have grown to over 125 vendors. We are confident that we have all the delicious foods and local crafts that you love to shop for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh, local &amp;amp; healthy fruits and veggies, including Certified Organic produce, are the core of the market along with homemade and handmade foods and crafts. Fresh baked breads &amp;amp; pastries, homemade pickles, jams &amp;amp; jellies, Gulf fresh seafood, fresh meats, homemade pet treats, handcrafted soaps, essential oils, local honey, made-on-site guacamole, fresh, cut flowers, native plants &amp;amp; trees are just some of the fantastic products available.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since shopping and eating seem to go so well together, the market has endless options. A food truck court and tent vendors offer BBQ, Crepes, Empanadas, Mexican food, German street food and healthy options like Kombucha, health smoothies, Acai bowls and salads.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each season we do our best to give back to the community by offering spaces for non-profits, schools and community groups. Another way we give back is by offering the ability for our EBT/SNAP customers to shop for healthy and affordable food options. We are proud to say that 7 years ago, we were the first market in Lee County to offer ease of shopping for our neighbors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are also proud that we were the first market in Lee County to offer Fresh Access Bucks to our EBT/SNAP customers. This program gives $40.00 extra to purchase Florida grown fruits &amp;amp; veggies at the market. A healthy community is a great outcome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The market can also be very entertaining with great musicians perform during the season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We hope that you choose to make the Cape Coral Farmers Market your Saturday Morning Destination!&lt;/p&gt;

He has graced "America’s Got Talent’s" 10th season, fooled Penn &amp; Teller on their mind-boggling competition series “Fool Us,” TWICE, and toured the country with his show “Mind Candy”. 

Wayne will share his awesome talents with YOU on December 14th at 6 pm at the La Venezia Ballroom to benefit the Cape Coral High School JROTC program! The Rebel Riders Charities, Inc host this very intimate event (ONLY 250 tickets available) to ensure that the JROTC can continue its good work. Tickets are $100 which gets you an hors d'oeuvre buffet, an open bar, and a buffet-style dinner with dessert before the 90-minute interactive experience with Wayne.

The CCHS JROTC program has an enrollment of nearly 500 students a year from all grade levels. This program ensures that all of its students succeed in high school while giving them the opportunity to join special teams such as the Exhibition team, which is ranked 12th in the nation, the Raiders physical fitness team, and the JLAB robotics team. The JROTC is raising funds to lessen financial burdens on families so more students can participate in as many of these activities as they want. This event will also reduce the overall number of smaller fundraisers and allow for more practice, additional community service, and more time with family and friends. Student participation in these programs can also help reduce bullying and potential of self-harm all the while teaching students teamwork, leadership and complex problem-solving. All of these attributes the Rebel Riders Charities Inc value and support. 

We know that you will enjoy this unique experience with your loved ones! 

December 14th is your chance to witness the true wonder that is Wayne Hoffman. 

Join us for a night of drinks, food, raffles (so bring cash!), and amazement!

Over the years, we have grown to over 125 vendors. We are confident that we have all the delicious foods and local crafts that you love to shop for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh, local &amp;amp; healthy fruits and veggies, including Certified Organic produce, are the core of the market along with homemade and handmade foods and crafts. Fresh baked breads &amp;amp; pastries, homemade pickles, jams &amp;amp; jellies, Gulf fresh seafood, fresh meats, homemade pet treats, handcrafted soaps, essential oils, local honey, made-on-site guacamole, fresh, cut flowers, native plants &amp;amp; trees are just some of the fantastic products available.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since shopping and eating seem to go so well together, the market has endless options. A food truck court and tent vendors offer BBQ, Crepes, Empanadas, Mexican food, German street food and healthy options like Kombucha, health smoothies, Acai bowls and salads.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each season we do our best to give back to the community by offering spaces for non-profits, schools and community groups. Another way we give back is by offering the ability for our EBT/SNAP customers to shop for healthy and affordable food options. We are proud to say that 7 years ago, we were the first market in Lee County to offer ease of shopping for our neighbors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are also proud that we were the first market in Lee County to offer Fresh Access Bucks to our EBT/SNAP customers. This program gives $40.00 extra to purchase Florida grown fruits &amp;amp; veggies at the market. A healthy community is a great outcome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The market can also be very entertaining with great musicians perform during the season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We hope that you choose to make the Cape Coral Farmers Market your Saturday Morning Destination!&lt;/p&gt;
