Wow! Thanks to the help of so many wonderful friends & family, along with generous business sponsors and great guests including many of the Hot Rod Power Participants, our pancake breakfast fundraiser was a great success! We estimate that we served about 425 folks.We raised $1,964.38 to be donated to the local Family Readiness Groups!!! Over $600 of that were flat out donations in our donation jar!!! We are still overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who attended. Plus, we got another mile sponsored - thank you Dede!
We would like to especially take a moment to thank all our fabulous volunteers who came out late Saturday night to help us set-up, got up early to start the day on Sunday, and worked like mad all day long to cook, serve, clean-up, etc. There is no way we could have done this without you! So thank you to Ali H., Allie G., Annette, Anita, Austin, Brittany, Candy, Chris, Cindy, Colleen, Dan, Dave, Dede, Faith, Gary, Gene, Josh, Julia, Katie, Katrina, Kyle, Laura F., Laura G., Linda, Mariah, Rob F., Rob G., Roger, Taylor, Tom C., Tom F., Tom S., and Tristan. Super special thanks to Chris & Rob G. who not only volunteered, but who have also defended our freedom during previous tours of duty in Iraq. Thanks guys!!!
We had several veterans who attended and it was great to get to visit with them & hear their stories and how much they appreciated what we are doing for the troops and their families. We also were able to talk to Casey on Skype...all the way over in Iraq! Everyone enjoyed being able to see & hear from him.
Soooo, with this event & the additional mile sponsored, our total is now at: $3,182.58 - a mere $17.42 from our goal!!!
Thank you again to everyone who has helped us on our mission!
