Coco Key Water Resort Springs Into Charity Event for Katie's Big Give

This week (through April 18) Coco Key Water Resort at the Sheraton Ferncroft/Boston is offering a special daily admission ticket of $30 per person. By purchasing one of these tickets, during the designated dates, 5% of gross ticket sales will be donated to Katie's Big Give's charity Why Me in Worcester (www.whyme.org.) an organization that was conceived and created by 13-year-old Sherry Shepherd during her four year struggle with cancer. She wanted to lift the spirits of her fellow child cancer patients as a means to ease their suffering and isolation.
Since 1985, Why Me has provided hundreds of CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND children and families with the emotional and financial support they need to fight cancer. With the completion of Sherry's House, the Why Me organization is now able to provide eight bedrooms for families whose child is receiving treatment at Umass Medical Center in Worcester or at Boston area hospitals.
