The Fundraiser was a Great Success!
Well the Fundraiser was a Great Success and a lot of Excitement for the night!
The day started at 3:00 pm with the Osseo Fire Department and their families helping us blow up 100+ balloons! Pink, Black and White – Laurren’s favorite colors!
Organizing all the silent auction items was a task but WOW, we had items being donated all night! We had so many great items for Guy’s & Gal’s and Family Fun!
Special Thanks to the local business of Osseo! Fashionista, R&W Welding, Duffy’s, Fair’s Nursery, Premier Liquor, Furniture Manor, Princeton’s Liquor, The Tire Guy and all the wonderful business that provided a silent action item!
Another special Thanks to our neighbors Marty and Amanda for “Lets Go Camping Silent Action Item” and Annie and Kurt for the great themed wine bottles from the “Rock Star to the Fire Truck delight”!
The Black Jack Dance Band started playing at 7:30 to kick off night! “Fire Fighters just love to Polka!”
Then the Main Event! ELVIS is in THE HOUSE! BIG THANKS to: Everett Howie Atherton – AKA ELVIS who put on a great show! From the light show, to his Amazing Voice and charming the ladies with his vibrant scarfs! Providing one special red scarf for the Lady of the night Laurren, that will be sent to Santa Barbara with LOVE!
Additional Thanks to Elvis’s manager: Charles for the wonderful & heart felt donation, to the Osseo Fire Department for the wonderful & heart felt donation (you will always be apart of our family!), to the Osseo Legion for donating the hall, and US Foodservices for donating the food.
With the Help of Everyone, we were able to raise almost $3,000 for Laurren’s Treatment! We could not have done this alone, from Dena our cute “cover charge girl” to Lynde’s Catering for cooking all the food and all the fire fighters manning the silent auction. WOW my heart pours out with love for all the wonderful friends and family that were there to help and support us with this Fundraiser for my niece Laurren!
HUGE Thanks goes out to Mike Phenow for the wonderful Web Site he design for Laurren, this web site provides us all the opportunity to send her our prayers and thoughts! The more people that see this web site and pray for Laurren, the louder it will be heard by God!
Erin & I feel truly blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family!
Everyday is a blessing; tell your family and friends you love them!
WE LOVE YOU ALL!
