The Friends of Salee are 12, 13, and 14 year-old girls who attend Culver City Middle School. They had the chance to meet and visit Salee at the Ronald McDonald House in Los Angeles in fall 2009. They individually have a jar to put coins in for Salee. One of the mothers has knitted holiday items that were sold at a holiday boutique. They also invited family and friends for a fundraiser dinner that they personally planned and prepared.
