FUNdraisers

Our adoption agency will be referring us to an organization called Brittany's Hope Foundation.  Their Seeding Gift Program provides grant money to families in the adoption process.  For whatever funds we raise in their name, they will provide us with a grant in double that amount paid directly to our adoption agency to offset our remaining fees due.  We are so thankful to be a part of this "pay it forward" program.  Any grant money we recieve will have been provided by previous families that have fundraised, and the money we raise will go towards a grant for the next family that is referred to Brittany's Hope. 

So fundraise we will! 
We held our first fundraiser this past Thursday, June 21st.  It was "An Evening with Elvis" at the Lansdale VFW.  The tablecovers, centerpieces and place settings really transformed the place.  And Andy Svrcek, the Elvis Tribute Artist, was great!  There was dinner, entertainment, Chinese raffle baskets and a 50/50.  We are so very thankful for the love, support and generousity that so many of our family and friends have showered us with...many of whom bought 50/50 tickets or gave us a donation since they couldn't attend the event.  So many others helped by providing food, raffle baskets, door prizes, etc.  For those who joined us Thursday night...thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!  You made us feel so supported in this journey.  We ate well, laughed hard and raised nearly $2500!  Words cannot even begin to express how blessed we feel!

We are planning more fundraisers and will keep you posted.  We will host a Bingo event Saturday, October 13th at Calvary Church in Souderton.  And possibly a family pizza night, Mini-golf tournament, Casino bus trip and another Elvis dinner event.  But I am most excited to plan a Thank YOU party once we return home with our little girl and her new cousin, Tim and Dawn's little girl.  We can't wait to show you the two beautiful little faces that have found their way to our families because of your love, support and generosity.
