Film Celebrities Visit Diane Hawk
Contribute to Surgery Fund
News Release: September 9, 2003

Chris Eyre, Diane Hawk, Wes Studi

Diane Hawk's face glows with joy as she meets with film director Chris Eyre (Smoke Signals) and actor Wes Studi (Geronimo, Dances with Wolves) who were visiting a powwow at Concho, Oklahoma on Saturday night September 6. When they heard about Diane Hawk, they found her truck and posed for a photo. "I hear you need some money for surgery," Eyre remarked, reaching into his pocket. He took out a cash donation and handed it to her on the spot. Each celebrity gave Diane a big hug and wished her well on her fund raising and for her safety during the surgery. Diane's life-saving gastric bypass surgery will take place in late September. Through the generous donations of the community and the efforts of hardworking family members, more than $17,000 has been raised toward the $20,000 goal for hospitalization and necessary post-surgical therapies. Additional donations to take Diane's fund all the way to the top are still welcome and may be sent to The Bariatric Institute of Oklahoma, Diane Hawk Surgery Fund, 105 S. Bryant, Suite 105,Edmond, Oklahoma, 73034.
