Whew! That was fun!

Well the fundraiser is over! I have gotten a total of $2,426 from the dinner/auction/raffle/bake sale! There is a little more that will be coming in after the last few baked goods get gone this week!

Wow what a ride! I can't speak for anyone else, but I can say this...I had a blast! The dinner was great, the baked goodies were awesome, and the auction and raffle was a blast!! I kept telling everyone to buy, buy, buy cause I wasn't taking it home with me! I only brought home the wedding dress and some left over food! The break down goes something like this:
$175 - Baked Goods, Wendy's Chili, fruit bowls, tomatoes
$364 - Raffle
$ 689 - Auction
+/- $350 - Hot Dogs

The rest of the money came from donations!!

God's Little Haven was absolutely wonderful! They all were such a blessing! If you missed them, I'm sorry to say, you missed an amazing blessing! Katherine, from Katherine's Heritage in Chesnee, was wonderful as well! She was also a blessing with her voice! And for those who stuck around long enough, even Edwin was a blessing! I get to hear him sing quite often but he has not publicly sang in over a year!

I truly believe everyone who attended had a great time! No one looked bored, even for a moment!! We had many items that folks got to fight over including a few golf packages that both sold for $98 each! There was a pink video chair with built in speakers that sold for $40! That was our last second bid! I had to give a count down just to get some people to speed up so we could end the auction!! Our raffle was a huge success and I think everyone really enjoy it! I hope everyone walked away with something Saturday night! If nothing else, you walked away with the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped Noah and 4 Paws for Ability!

Thanks to everyone who came out, everyone who donated, everyone who is praying and will continue to pray, and to 4 Paws for Ability for giving Noah the opportunity to have more independence and safety with the help of his service dog!

I have not received the most recent totals yet but according to my calculations, we should be close to $5,000. That means we only have about $6,000 to go!! If just 100 people could make a donation of $60 we would be done with the fundraising and could move to the next step in this journey! Our next step is finding out when we get to go to training!! Then we wait for those days to get here, then we find out about a week before training which dog gets Noah! Then 2 weeks of training in Ohio and we come back home with our newest family member and begin a new chapter in our lives! Oh I can't wait! Won't you be one of the 100 to give just $60 today??
