Fundraiser progress


Hello everyone. Just a quick update on the progress of the fundraising. The t-shirts are in & they are so cute. I am getting together the 2nd order now, if you are 1 of the ones who wanted to wait and order on the 2nd order. The first order was not very successful, I am hoping and praying now that people can actually see us wear them, that we will be able to take more orders.

Brian and I met with the general manager at a local golf course. We are in the process of trying to get a golf tournament set up for the end of September. This is really exciting to me, especially after we met with him and got more details. I cannot do it by myself though, he said I would need at least 3-4 volunteers to help me organize it. So anybody who is reading this and is willing to help me, please let me know. I think this can be really successful if we can get it planned good and get some good sponsors, etc.....

Keith & Cheryl are planning a large "family fun afternoon" on the Saturday before Memorial Day. They haven't named it that--haha--I have since I didn't really know what to call it. They have worked really hard on this and have had some great success with getting some things donated for it, etc....I am really excited to go over there for the weekend and meet all the people, especially the ones in their neighborhood who have taken such an interest in Gracie Ann & helping our family.

I have also left a message with someone at Lightening Strikes in Trussville to set up a date for a "bowl-a-thon". Haven't heard back yet. If anyone of you reading this can pull any strings with them, please-please-please call me or email me and let me know!!

I will update again when I have more info on anything coming up! If you come up with any ideas for a good fundraiser, please let me know I am willing to try anything (within reason-haha), or if you are willing to put a flyer with Gracie's pic & pics of the t-shirts we are selling at your workplace, church, etc.... I would love for you to be able to do that also!

Thanks so much for your help on this journey!
