to run and get ready forthat and I just couldn’tbreathe,” Weiner said.

He went to the doctornumerous times and keptgetting different explana-tions. On race day, hiswife decided enough wasenough and took him tothe hospital instead.

“An X-ray later, theysaw a large mass in my up-per chest. The passionwas definitely thrust uponme,” Weiner said.

Donations can be madethrough Weiner’s candi-date page on the Leuke-mia & Lymphoma Soci-ety’s website, mwoy.org/pages/soh/cincy15/jweiner. He is also hostingtwo fundraising events.

The first is We “TapOut” Leukemia & Lym-phoma, which will be atthe Tap House Grill, 8740Montgomery Road, from

7 p.m. to midnight Satur-day, April 11. Tickets are$100 and the night will in-clude food, drinks, enter-tainment and auctionitems. Weiner said he isfriends with the ownerwho agreed to shut therestaurant done for thenight for the event.

Weiner is also hosting athree-point shoot-out atMadeira High SchoolApril 26.

“Brad Redford, a for-mer Xavier basketballplayer, is working withme on that. We are callingit Brad Redford’s Bucketsvs. Blood Cancer. It is kindof an NBA style shoot-out.We are going to have tonsof kids there and grown-ups too,” he said.

The finals will be at theCintas Center in June.

The campaign closeswith a grand finale auc-tion with all the candi-dates May 29.

Weiner said campaign-ing has been a lot of work,but with his team behind

him and the importance ofthe Leukemia & Lympho-ma Society, it has beenworthwhile.

“Since 2000, of the 36cancer treatment drugsthat have been approvedby the FDA 19 of themwere funded by LLS. Ev-erybody that came beforeme helped save me life,”he said.

Though the Leukemia& Lymphoma Society isfocused on blood cancer,it’s research helps fightall types of cancer.

“The research that LLSis doing is not only effect-ing blood cancer but thetreatment they are devel-oping are effective waysto treat other types of can-cer as well. It is not justabout blood cancer, it isabout all cancers,” hesaid.

People ask me all the time whereI get my recipes. “Do you develop

them yourself?”“Whose recipes doyou use from the foodnetwork and do youhave any favorites?”“What about recipesthat readers send. Doyou test them?”

I would say a care-ful yes to all of theabove. I develop somemyself, and I adaptsome, but not all. Asfor credit, if I know

the source, I will name it. Often-times the recipe has been passedthrough so many hands that cred-iting one person isn’t possible. Butthat’s the fun in it.

Not so much where a recipestarts, but where it continues to go.I don’t always test readers’ recipes.Just no time!

As far as food network stars, I’vecooked with more than a few. But Ihave to say our own Cincinnati foodstars/chef educators, like masterchef John Kinsella, Marilyn Harris,Debbie Goulding, Judy Walsh, ChrisHoltz and Molly Maundrell, alongwith Tim Bettinson, Bob Hess, TomKeegan and Todd Kelly, just toname a very few, hold their own,right with the most famous of chefs.And, of course, my readers don’tlack with creativity or ability.

That’s why today I’m sharing agood recipe which I enjoyed at theTrowel percent Error Garden Club’sluncheon. This chicken percent hamcordon bleu is a yummy way to usethat leftover Easter ham. MarieRobbins is one good cook!

Readers want to know:Stainless steel flatware: is it all

the same?No! At first glance, they’re all

shiny and look like they have someheft. Read packaging. What youwant is 18/10, which means 18 per-cent chromium and 10 percent nick-el.

Stainless steel is essentially ironwith more than 10 percent chromi-um. The higher the nickel content,the more protection from corrosion.Get as close to those numbers asyou can.

If you can pick a fork or spoon

up, go ahead. It will feel good inyour hand with the 18/10, not feath-erweight, and the polish will beelegant. Definitely worth the price.Polish with a bit of clear vinegar ifthey get water spots.

Top off chicken cordon bleuwith mimosa for brunch

Marie’s chicken cordon bleu casserole

I love garden club luncheons. They usually consistof an easy, do-ahead casserole that has stood the testof time. Like this one. Marie said make your own whitesauce if you like. She also sometimes adds sautéedmushrooms and usually bakes the chicken in a coveredcasserole.

8 oz wide egg noodles2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast8 oz. cubed cooked ham8 oz. cubed Swiss cheese10.5 oz. can reduced fat/sodium cream of chicken

soup1/2 cup 2percent milk1/2 cup light sour cream2 tablespoons butter1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease or spray a9x13 pan. Cook noodles in boiling, lightly salted waterjust until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5minutes. Drain and put in pan, top with chicken, hamand Swiss. Mix soup, milk and sour cream and spoonover noodle mixture. Melt butter over medium heatand stir in bread crumbs and Parmesan until crumbs arecoated, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over casserole. Bakeuntil bubbling and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tip from Marie’s kitchen: Make ahead and bringto room temperature before baking.

Tyler Florence’s mimosa

Tyler uses blood orange juice, but regular juiceworks. Chill a bottle of Prosecco. Combine about 2 cupsjuice with sugar to taste and add a couple splashes oforange liqueur. Chill. To serve, pour juice mixture inbottom of champagne flute and top with Prosecco.

A publication of

“Madeira had a commem-orative brick engraved withher name. It was to be placedin the park surrounding herhome.” (architect Eric Doepkedescribing the promise madeto Cleo J. Hosbrook).

Since 1996, the CincinnatiArea Geographic InformationSystem has designated thegrounds surrounding the Hos-brook House as a Madeira CityPark. Our county auditor,Dusty Rhodes, confirmed thatthe Hosbrook grounds wereindeed designated as a Madei-ra City Park. B

oth City Council and Parksand Recreation became awareof the park status over the pastseveral weeks, leading to aphone call made by our city

manager toCAGIS. Thecall was madeon Thursday,March 12, andsubsequentlythe park wasgone on thevery next day,Friday, March13, wiped off ofthe AuditorsWeb Site.

The phonecall made to CAGIS will notchange the fact that there wasa park.

I wondered why it was soimportant to have the parkstatus eliminated from publicview and may have discoveredthe reason. At a city council

meeting June 24, 1996, thencouncil members Martin,Mattes, Murray, Perez,Schneider and Staubach votedin favor of Ordinance number96-47, which directed the citymanager to sign an unprece-dented 99-year agreement withHenry and Anita Schneider.

Henry and Anita Schneiderwere owners of the propertyon the corner of Miami andLaurel avenues (7022 Miami).At one time the property wasDot and Mack’s grocery, andlater became a bank. Theagreement guaranteed that ourcity would for 99 years; pro-vide a minimum of five park-ing spaces for the Schneiders’property and included no max-imum number of parking

spaces. It is doubtful that thispart of our history has includ-ed any public input or knowl-edge

I have asked our currentcity council to no avail, to ex-plain why it was decided togive one property owner anunspecified number of parkingspaces. It appears that our cityhas encumbered the Hosbrookproperty, in granting the 99-year agreement.

Does our city now owe realestate taxes because the 1996Schneider agreement shouldhave changed the tax-exemptstatus of the Hosbrook proper-ty?

The Hosbrook property hasbeen tax exempt since 1992,but the unlimited parking

spaces provided for commer-cial (The Schneider Agree-ment) use has never been con-veyed to Hamilton County.Dusty Rhodes thought that westill had a park. How will thisagreement affect our coredowntown area, after the up-coming sale of the B&B Mowerproperty?

In the words of author TomClancy, “The control of in-formation is something theelite always does, particularlyin a despotic form of govern-ment. Information and knowl-edge is power. If you can con-trol information, you can con-trol people.”

How does a park disappear overnight?

DouglasOppenheimerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

We would like to believethat the well-spoken, good-looking person that we votedfor would always act in ourbest interest whether theoffice is the local schoolboard or the Senate.

It is probably true at thebeginning of a politician’scareer, his or her thoughts arealtruistic, and that they wishto make a difference.

Once in office, their col-leagues gradually reveal tothem the real-world necessityof raising large sums of mon-ey to maintain their position,and they are then introducedto those who have the mosteasily available money. This

way their entiretime is notspent beggingfor funds, andtheir positionsin office aremore secure.

There is aprice to pay foraccepting theselarge politicalcontributions.Our representa-

tives are instructed how tovote on all issues that affecttheir donors, which may ad-versely affect their constitu-ents in their voting districtsand taxpayers nationally.

The most egregious ex-

ample of purchased votesaffecting voters and taxpay-ers is the law forbidding com-petitive bidding for drugspurchased by Medicare fortheir Part D drug program,also known as the Medicareprescription-drug programfor the elderly. No valid eco-nomic argument exists tosupport this dishonest legisla-tion.

The unnecessarily high costof this program affects everytaxpayer in the United Statesand every old person enrolledin the Medicare Part D pro-gram. It has raised the cost ofmedicine to the point that it isless expensive to purchase

some medications from Cana-da, than pay of the co-payestablished in the MedicarePart D insurance program.

Write your representative,asking his opinion of this leg-islation. My representative isSteve Chabot; does he supportthe non-negotiation of Medi-care drugs? Will he discussthis issue?

What about our senatorsRob Portman and SherrodBrown, do they also supportthis taxpayer fraud? Sen.Brown wrote me stating thathe had discussed this issue inthe Senate and that there werenot nearly enough votes tocorrect it; so, he, too, is not

acting on this legislation.This is prima facia Medi-

care fraud. The framers ofthis legislation intended todefraud the taxpayers and theold people who are enrolled inthis program.

Senators Portman andBrown and Congressmen Cha-bot all believe in free markets;yet, their votes or (in)actionsare against free markets. Thisis an example of the 1 percenttrampling on the 99 percent.

Even our Supreme Courthas held that each dollar getsa vote; not people…dollars!

“Going to lunch and thegame with my dad every Open-ing Day for years and years.Fond memories of being withdad for the start of anotherbaseball season. Play ball!”

“I have gone to OpeningDay since 1971; the first Open-ing Day at Riverfront. I likegetting down there early to seethe parade. The game nowstarts at 4:15, which makesgetting home much easier dueto no rush hour traffic.

“After three playoff appear-ances with Dusty Baker theReds finished last in their divi-

sion in 2014 with a new man-ager. They are picked last thisyear due to losing two startingpitchers. But hope springseternal this time of year and Isee their battling for a wildcard playoff spot in Septem-ber. But I also have XU in theNCAA finals. Go Figure!”

CARRIE COCHRAN/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Former Reds outfielder George Foster rides passed Washington Park in the2014 Findlay Market Opening Day Parade.

Warren Buffet oftenmakes news. Recently herevealed that he tries tomake his diet resemble thatof a 6-year old – by drinkingfive 12-ounce Cokes a day.

He said, “I checked theactuarial tables, and the low-est death rate is among 6-year-olds. So I decided to eatlike a 6-year-old.” I guess hemeant this to be funny. Healso eats ice cream forbreakfast and he likes tohave Utz potato sticks withhis Cokes.

Personally, I don’t knowmany mothers who would lettheir 6-year-old drink evenone such sugar-laden (39grams) drink a day. And, oneounce of the potato sticksmeans 160 calories, 11 gramsof fat, and three grams ofsaturated fat. Healthy food?I’ll let you imagine whatwould happen if all Amer-icans went on the Buffet diet.

Mr. Buffet, I challengeyou to start eating fruits andvegetables, get rid of thesodas and chips, and letAmerica know why you’redoing it.

We spend more per capitaon health care than any otherdeveloped country and yet

we rank 36thin longevity –right behindCosta Ricaand Slovenia.And we getfatter eachyear.

The reportisn’t pretty: by2018, if theobesity trendcontinues, the

U.S. will spend $344 billionon health care costs relatedto obesity. That’s more than$6.5 billion a week – or, inBuffet terms – about a thirdof the value his companyowns in Coca Cola stock. By2018 more than 100 millionAmericans will be consid-ered obese.

So what, you say – we havethe money to take care of thisand, besides, the health careengine fuels the economy.Barron’s late Alan Abelsonwas fond of saying, “The eat,drink, and get-sick industriesare all doing well.” He wascorrect. Health Affairs pre-dicts America’s health carecosts to rise to 19.9 percent ofGDP by 2022, nearly doublethose of most nations.

The saddest part of this

story is childhood obesity,which worsens each year.Walk into any sixth-gradeclassroom and take a look atthe students. Yet, when gov-ernment school meals pro-vided healthful foods, kidsrefused to eat them and someschools dropped the pro-gram. Americans don’t likegovernment mandates butthey do pay attention to themedia, which is where Mr.Buffet can help, assuming hedislikes the idea of passingon a huge national debt tofuture generations more thanhe likes to see a profit in hisfood and drink companies.

My challenge for Mr. Buf-fet: acknowledge the crisis ofobesity and speak publicly onhow it will cripple our econo-my in the future – if it con-tinues.

Lose weight. Start exercis-ing: you can afford a per-sonal trainer. And drop theCokes, chips, and ice cream.

We deserve more fromsuch an intelligent American.

With 10 years of experienceat Madeira, coach Natalie Dra-govich has more track and fieldathletes than she’s ever had be-fore. The higher the numbers,the higher the competition andthe Mustangs have 34 boys onthe roster this year. They’re ledby eight or nine returning con-tributors with junior Nick Ce-dillo and seniors MichaelChristman and Jack Mantkow-ski helping lead the way.

Cedillo was The Enquirer Di-vision II Athlete of the Year lastseason after placing fifth at thestate meet in the 400 meterdash. Dragovich said they’re“very excited to have (Nick)back for two more years.”

Cedillo, Christman andMantkowski all help make up a4x800 relay team that Dragov-ich is optimistic about this sea-son. Dragovich said it’s only thesecond year running for Mant-kowski, who was impressivelast year in his rookie runningseason. Also watch out for ju-nior Adam Mahler, it’s his firstyear running track, he cameover from cross country so lookfor him in the distance events.

Dragovich added that withthe depth of this team she has alot of talent to choose from es-pecially lining up her relayteams.

“I’m excited to see how farthey can go,” Dragovich said.“They’re very dedicated andthey want to accomplish a lot ofthings.”

The Mustangs haven’t wonthe Cincinnati Hills Leaguesince 2007, Dragovich saidthat’s one of their goals thisyear.

Back for year two with theMoeller track team is coach Ja-son Crockett as the Crusaderstry to improve their finish in theGreater Catholic League South.

Moeller is expected to be ledby senior distance runnersMitch Poch and Nick Mendel,junior sprinter Isaac Andrews,sophomore sprinter Cam Bu-ford and freshman sprinter Col-in Thurman.

“They are excited to com-pete and motivated to workhard,” Crockett said of histeam.

Andrews was part of Moell-er’s first team GCL-South 4x200relay and the second team4x100 relay. Poch and Mendelwere on the second team 4x800relay with senior Eddy Pappa-

lardo and junior Matt DeWine.The Crusaders participate in

the Middletown ShowdownApril 2 at Middletown HighSchool.

As they seek to overtakeWyoming in the Cincinnati HillsLeague, Indian Hill HighSchool’s boys track team willattack the Tomahawk Stadiumtrack with a pair of record hold-ers this spring.

Seniors Wells Coalfleet andTroy Schwab lead the Bravesalong with junior Trent Geyerand sophomores Ben Warstlerand Patrick Giroux.

“Last season Wells broke the26-year-old 400-meter recordand he and Troy made up twolegs of the school-breaking, dis-trict champion, regional medal-ist 4x400 relay,” coach SusanSavage said. “They are a strongfoundation for a very young andtalented boys team.”

Coalfleet made CHL firstteam in the 800 meter run andsecond in the 400. His 4x400 re-lay group was second team and4x200 group was honorablemention. Schwab had one of thebetter league times in the 400and Geyer, Warstler and Girouxare distance specialists. War-stler had the team’s best timesin the 1,600 and 3,200 meterruns.

Senior C.J. Chin is also a reli-able sprinter for the Braves.

Phillips is also a dis-tance runner, whileMcetchen high jumps.

“We have very few up-

Deer Park participatedin the La Salle Legendsmeet March 28 and atMcNicholas March 31-April 1. The Wildcats areat the Madeira Invitation-al April 7-8.

Although this is headcoach Michael Coleman’sfirst year at the helm ofthe Cincinnati Hills Chris-tian Academy’s track andfield team, he brings anextensive track back-

ground to the table.In addition to bringing

that experience, he saidthis first year is aboutlearning about the kids onthe team.

“It’s kind of a freshstart for everybody,”Coleman said. “We havesome pieces; I’m anxiousto see how it comes to-gether.”

The Eagles returnsophomore Adam Baker,who specializes in thelong jump. Baker jumped19.9 at the district meet asa freshman last season.

Coleman said he wasgoing to be a stud this sea-son and “Has a lot of ceil-ing left.”

Another athlete CHCAwill count on is sopho-more Ben Collado, whosedad ran in college andbrothers also ran atCHCA.

Collado was part of thedistrict-qualifying 4x100,4x200 and 4x400 relayteams.

“We’re trying to build asolid program, have theright kids come out andput them in the rightevents,” Coleman said.

Head coach Steve Con-ner has been a coach for28 years but he enters hissecond year of coachingCincinnati Country Day’sboys team and the firstyear he’s coaching both

the boys’ and girls’ teams.It’s been an adjust-

ment, but the team hashandled it well.

“I am excited with howthe athletes have adjustedto the change and adoptedthe program we are run-ning,” he said. “The ath-letes have picked up theirworkouts and are doing agreat job of preparing forthe season.”

The Indians return ju-niors Darryn Jordan andCooper Ebersbach andseniors Mantero Moreno-Cheek, Connor Wiley andAlex Warner as individ-uals to watch.

Jordan, a sprinter, fin-ished sixth in the state in

the 100 meter dash lastyear. Moreno-Cheek, athrower, was a regionalqualifier in the shot put.

Ebersbach and Wileyrun middle distance anddistance races, respec-tively. Warner is back forpole vault.

“With one of the largerteams the school has had,we will be able to fill all ofthe events and hopefullygive Summit and NorthCollege Hill a good run atthe MVC title,” the coachsaid. “There are quite afew strong returners thathave a very good chanceto qualify for regionals,and then hopefully get afew to state.”

TrackContinued from Page B1

Madeira only returnsfour or five girls with ex-perience on a roster withonly 15 girls, but those re-turning could make a runespecially in the 4x800 re-lay and distance events.Last season, the Amazons’4x800 team qualified to re-gionals and all four legs ofthat relay return this sea-son.

Seniors Caroline Thom-as, Mallory Kline, MaddieMcDonough and junior Ca-sey Mitchell were on the4x800 last year. Thomaswill also compete in theopen 800 meters. Kline andMcDonough will run thetwo mile and help out onthe relays. McDonoughwas first-team CincinnatiHill League last season inthe two mile. Mitchell wasan individual regionalqualifier last year in 400meters.

“We’re relay looking atwhat we can accomplishfrom the 4x800 races upand the mile/two mile,”10th-year coach NatalieDragovich said. “I’m look-ing to see how far we cango; our goal is to progressfrom regionals to state.”

Madeira hasn’t had agirl qualify to state since2009, Dragovich said.

Junior Mollie Shinklejoined the track team aftera successful cross countryseason. Shinkle will runthe mile, 800 meters andhelp on the distance relays.

At Indian Hill, a handfulof veteran runners willhelp lead the chase in theCHL. Seniors Sabrina Bu-las, MacKenzie Owen, Ju-lia Sewell, Anna Renfroand junior Anna Defen-diefer are among the lead-ers for the Lady Braves.

Renfro was part of Indi-an Hill’s honorable men-tion 4x100 relay along withsophomore Karen Folz.Folz also made honorablemention in the long jump.Sewell and senior SaraSchwanekamp were on the4x200 relay and 4x400 re-lay with sophomore SarahBorden joining in on the4x400.

“The girls team is ahard-working and commit-ted group of young ladies,”coach Susan Savage said.“Sabrina Bulas and Mac-Kenzie Owen are lookingvery good.”

Owen had some of thetop times in the league inthe 800 last year, with Bu-las in the 1,600. SophomoreSydney Miles runs the3,200.

The Lady Braves host

CCD April 2. On April 7,they appear in the MadeiraInvitational.

Kelsey Wood takes overas track and field coach forthe Deer Park this season.

The Lady Wildcats areled by senior KourtneyRussell and juniors LoganTroxell and Brooke Wood.Russell is a sprinter withTroxell and Wood throw-ing shot put and discus.

After competing atMcNicholas March 31-April 1, Deer Park moves

on to the Madeira Invita-tional April 7-8.

Mount Notre Dame’strack team seeks improve-ment after finishing at thebottom of the Girls Great-er Catholic League. TheCougars return a GGCL-second team 4x100 relaywith juniors Sophie Sikora,Anna Rosenthal, CahseBauer and senior CarleyKline. Sikora also was hon-orable mention in the longjump.

Mike Sickles is the Cou-

gars’ head coach.With five district titles

and six Miami Valley Con-ference championshipssince 2008, it’s safe to saythat Cincinnati CountryDay’s girls track team is abona fide player in thecity’s track and field land-scape.

Even though the Indi-ans lost key athletes tograduation, head coachSteve Conner feels he hasthe people to fill the holes.

“The thing that makes

this team exciting is thenumber of strong sopho-mores and freshmen thathave come out for theteam,” Conner said. “Theyoung hurdlers and field-event specialists shouldhelp cover the points wehave lost to graduation.”

The Indians return topindividuals in senior Kait-lin Harden and sophomoreGrace Pettengill.

Harden led off the statefinalist 4 X 100 relay teamthat came in sixth at state

and a was regional qualifi-er in the high jump and800.

Pettengill was a region-al qualifier in the 1600 andis the team’s top returningdistance runner.

The Indians add fresh-men Moya Ly, Keyra Eng-lish and Clarissa Conner.

Ly will be a hurdler,high jumper and run the400. Conner also picks upthree events with sprints,hurdles and pole vault.English is slated forsprints and long jump.

“It is going to be diffi-cult beating North CollegeHill for the MVC title, butthe amount of young talentgives us a chance,” thecoach said. “With the lead-ership of the upperclass-man, we should have an-other good season.”

Similar to what he saidregarding the CHCA boystrack and field team, Mi-chael Coleman said hisfirst year is about gettingto know the kids he has towork with on the girls’ ros-ter.

One athlete he pointedto is sophomore MorganBradley. As a freshman atthe district meet last year,Bradley jumped four feet,10 inches in the final heatof the high jump andcleared 8 feet in the polevault.

Bradley came in sixthin the pole vault at the re-gional meet at Dayton’sWelcome Stadium.

She also tied the schoolrecord in the high jump at5 feet, 2 inches at lastyear’s CHCA Invitational.

“She’s off to a greatstart in her high school ca-reer,” Coleman said.

The Eagles opened theseason March 31 at McNi-cholas.

Kenzie’s Closet, theunique nonprofit bou-tique that provides com-plete prom outfits for fi-nancially disadvantagedgirls in Greater Cincin-nati, kicked off its 10thyear of service at theKenzie’s Closet boutiquein O’Bryonville, with 15prom shopping daysscheduled for this year.Kenzie’s Closet hashelped more than 3,000students over the pastnine years.

Approximately 450girls from 65 schools willbe served during springprom season. The schoolsinclude those as far northas Dayton, Ohio, andsouth to Maysville, Ky.Most students havehousehold incomes of lessthan $22,000.

Kenzie’s Closet’s exec-utive director KathySmith, pointed out that“The numbers are just asmall part of the wholestory. Every young stu-dent who has been able toattend her prom becauseof the mission of Kenzie’sCloset over these pastnine years has had herown unique life story. Weknow that the opportunityto feel special, beautiful,and loved for one very im-portant high school mem-ory means so very muchin those students’ lives.”

She continued, “We askthe students what theirdreams are, what their vi-sion of a perfect promdress would be. They tellus their vision and thenare guided through the‘shopping experience’with their own personalshopper. They leave Ken-zie’s Closet with their“perfect outfit” – dress,shoes, a wrap, a purse,and jewelry. The studentscan attend their highschool prom with their

head held high, feelingproud, and know that theyare indeed beautiful.”

Smith credited themore than 300 volunteers,the donations of promdresses, jewelry andwraps over the years; andgenerosity of individuals,families, and the localbusiness community.

Junior and senior highschool women who havebeen referred to Kenzie’sCloset from their schoolprincipal, counselor or so-cial service agency willenjoy an once-in-a-life-time magical afternoonand select their completeprom outfit. On theirscheduled “ShoppingDay,” the students aregreeted by a volunteerwho walks them throughselecting their dress,shoes, a purse, jewelry,and a wrap for their spe-cial night. There is no costto the student.

The idea for Kenzie’sCloset was planted whenBrynne Coletti discov-ered that one of herdaughter's classmates atSt. Ursula Academywould not be attendingher prom because of theexpense. Coletti anony-mously provided re-sources to help that stu-dent, and the seed wasplanted for developing aprogram that would helpmany more girls.

Kenzie’s Closet wasnamed after Makena“Kenzie” Anne Comisar,who was killed in a single-car accident in 2002 be-fore she was able to at-tend her senior prom. Co-misar was a student at St.Ursula Academy in Cin-cinnati,
