Speak Up Fundraiser

I'm ready to give you all the info on our next big fundraiser!! This fundraiser is what we are praying is going to get us on the waitlist and let people know about adoption! We have finished all of our paperwork for our dossier. We are waiting for our homestudy to be approved (it's in review) and we're waiting on my fingerprints to come back from the FBI! We have to turn in $5,000 along with all of the paperwork including the completed homestudy and we have a little more that we need to raise! After we get past this stage we can then apply for grants! So are you ready?? Get our your calendar so you can write this down! We are inviting you to come and bring your family and friends to:


Speak Up: A Concert and Silent Auction

Adoption Fundraiser

"Speak up for the poor and the helpless, and see that they get justice." - Proverbs 31:9

on Thursday, September 9th from 7:00-9:00pm

at the Old Winston Social Club on Burke St. downtown!

Suggested Donation Cover Charge of $5 per person
/$10 per family

Our friend Gene Francis and his band are going to be playing!
There will be some good food too! Burke Street Pizza is helping with some yummy stuff and La Botana is providing chips and salsa. And we can't forget all the goodies that some special family and friends are bringing!

We have some really cool things that have already been donated to the Silent Auction too:

  • Behind the Scenes Tour of the US Capitol with NC Rep. Virginia Foxx

We are so excited about this event! And we definitely need your help! If you would like to donate something to our silent auction that you make or that your business sells, please let us know! Or if you know of a business that would like to contribute and you can help us, let us know! All donations are tax-deductible since they go through our Adoption Account at Reynolda Church and we will provide you with the Tax ID#. We have a fundraising letter that explains our event to potential donors too. Thank you all SO much for your prayers and support to help bring our daughter home!
