Ashley Aven is 18 years old and is the family member of a local Scouting family that have been strong supporters of our drum group. Ashley is fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). She has been through 3 rounds of chemotherapy and it has not gone well. When a family member feels pain then it is felt throughout the extended Scouting family.

In July of 2009 our Chapter's drum team dedicated the first songs on a new drum to this brave young woman. We have continued to dedicate songs to her well being.

On January 9, 2010, the members of our drum team had the opportunity to actually meet and perform for Ashley. She was briefly in southern California on a trip from the Make A Wish Foundation. It was incredibly inspirational for everyone that got to meet her that day.

A special bank account has been set up through Wells Fargo Bank to help the family financially since both of her parents are staying home to spend precious moments with their daughter. Donations can be made at any Wells Fargo branch to the Ashley K. Aven Foundation. Even if you can't contribute financially, please remember that prayer is one of the most powerful tools known. More information can be found by downloading a flyer from the link directly below.
