Karen White helped organize a charity fund to help cover the medical expense of her friend. Vicky Hill, who was seriously injured in a bicycle accident. The fund was named the Vicky Hill Recovery Fund (VHRF). Karen contributed $1,200 of her own money to fund. The $1,200 was paid to WKUX, a local radio station that designed and played an advertising campaign to educate the public about Vicky's predicament. The campaign resulted in the collection of $12,000, and VHRF paid $8,000 to Mercy Hospital to cover Vicky's outstanding hospital cost. The remaining $4,000 was donated to the National Cyclist Fund.
