You all helped us raise $1,140 to help us get closer to getting on the waitlist!!
We wanna thank a LOT of people!
Burke Street Pizza The owner, Howie, was so so nice to donate 3 XL Pizzas and a TON of wings! They even carried it across the street for us! If you haven't been there to eat, then you need to. There is one location on Burke Street and another on Robinhood Road in a shopping center.
La Botana We have been going to this Mexican restaurant for 4 years or so now. We love it. They have good traditional Mexican food and then of course all of the good 'ol combinations that you sometimes just really crave. Anyway, the owner, Rigo, donated a RIDICULOUS amount of chips and salsa (like 5 GALLONS!). So, if you would like some salsa, please bring a container over to our house and we will give you some! If you haven't been to La Botana they are located in the little shopping center on Hanes Mall Blvd. next to the movie theater and Walmart.
Thank you to all our friends and family that made food and brought it too! And a special thank you to Brian's mom that managed to pick up the GIGANTE bag of chips and container of salsa and run to the Dollar Store to get bowls and extras that we totally forgot! Thank you to all the businesses and friends that donated items for our Silent Auction. I'm still so humbled that people have given soo much to our adoption. Thank you to the Old Winston Social Club for allowing us to use such a great location for our fundraiser! You need to go over there sometime, it's a great place to hang out.
Thank you to our friends in the band (Gene, Chase, and David) and to Mitch (the master of the sound!).
Thank you to all of you that came and supported our family's adoption by just showing up, by bidding in the auction, by buying t-shirts or coffee, and being awesome! :)
A special thank you to my photographer/decorator/organizer/amazing friend, Meredith! I could NOT have done it all without you! You are sooo gifted! I'm so glad that you are my friend. I love your generous spirit and heart for adoption.
And of course a HUGE THANK YOU to my sweet Maw Maw that took our Isabel home for bed and played with her ALL DAY while we got ready!
God is SO good to continue to provide for our adoption! We are blown away and affirmed by each of these fundraisers!
Sounds like a wonderful fundraising day/night! So glad you are getting closer to getting on the wait list!! Whoo hoo!
