Fundraiser at the Huntsville Legion

We wanted to thank everyone for helping us raise the funds to help us go to Germany.  Everyone that attended last night and some who could  not make it, have made it possible for this to happen.  We had friends as far away as Texas who have come to support us!


It is truly amazing to see this small community come together to support our family.  We are so overwhelmed with the support whether it be donations in money, silent auction or providing the essentials for this night to happen.


There is a HUGE list of people that were involved, but special thanks goes out to:


-  John, Katherine & the Legion staff.  Not only did the legion give us the building for the night, but also members have been working to set this up and help serve food during the night on their own personal time!



Legion staff working so hard!

-  St. Mary's staff and school community.  Teachers, Jessica's E.A's and fellow students who cut the table cloths.

-  Steve and Wendy England from the Rainbow Bingo donated all the food for the night!!!


-  Donations of Silent auction items from businesses and individuals- there were so many!!

 Great silent auction items!

- Sarah Berthiaume (soon to be Smith!!) who approached us on her own offering to take on the exhausting role of organizing the silent auction.  Sarah is also responsible for getting so many of the wonderful items that were donated to us.

- Dr. Krane for donating their time and talent for the night! Gord Creaser (guitar), Richard Watling (vocals), Stephen Small (guitar), Sean Sanders (bass), David Campbell (drums). check out their website at :http://www.drkrane.com/

Thanks to Mitch & Cheryl for doing the 50/50 draw all night!

Korrie & Erica for helping on the necklace sales! Erica (in the middle) is going to be mad at me that I put this picture in...sorry! It was the only one I had that night.  She really did have a great time :)

Damon (a little boy that goes to daycare with Jessica) came that night and gave Jessica some flowers.  Talk about a touching moment for me...brought a tear to my eye!

With all the Ticket sales, 50/50 draw, silent auction and money from the necklace, the event made just over $25,000.00!!!
