| | | | | | Maile Broad wanted to do something special for her eighth birthday. As part of her "Super Secret Mystery Birthday Party," she asked that her guests make a donation to support the schools, instead of giving her gifts. Maile comes from a family of teachers, and on her own wanted to do what she could to help out.
Inspired by the scavenger hunts her own mother put together, Maile's mom, Jan Broad and husband Rich planned a task filled extravaganza at a number of locations that included popping balloons to find clues, blowing bubble gum bubbles, making a poster and more, culminating at Yogurt Shack.
In all, $400 was donated which will be given to the LASF. "I feel good about 'Maile's magical money' my friends and I raised for the schools," said the birthday girl, "I feel bad for the schools and the teachers right now and I just wanted to try to help."
