Randi Leydig knows how to throw a party. For her, the fun is in the planning and the idea of getting her friends together.
For the second year in a row, Randi has passed on gifts for herself, asking guests to donate to a good cause. Last year $435 was raised for Old Forge Elementary School's PTA, where Randi is a fifth-grader.
This year, $1,092 was split between the families of two Old Forge students for medical bills. One of the students was in a car accident with her mother and two sisters; the other was a fellow fifth-grader who had third-degree burns on his legs.
Forty-three classmates and their families attended.
"There are people out there that care for other people. I can't say thank you enough," said Melissa Davis, Robert Davis's mother.
