Karen White helped organize a charity fund to help cover the medical expenses 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 $900 of her own money to the fund. The $900 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 $13,000 cash, and VHRF paid $9,800 to Mercy Hospital to cover Vickys outstanding hospital cost. The remaining $3,200 was donated to the National Cyclist Fund
