Molly Gooch of Rossmoor area recently turned 12 and celebrated with a neon party blast. Since it was the day after the last day of school all the kids used their old highlighters to decorate white shirts then danced the night away under black lights and had a glowing good time! In lieu of gifts, Molly requested donations for the Long Beach Animal Shelter and together with her friends raised $190 which will help provide food, medications and toys for the animals. “This is the best way to celebrate a birthday – rockin’ out with friends and helping the animals too. Thanks to all my awesome friends for making a difference,” Molly said. (Molly is bottom row center, with glasses.)
