Benefit.....

Haven't been on in forever! Been really pooped and going downstairs to post seemed like a lot which sounds silly I know. Like the nurse said to me that she hears from other patients "it's a tired you can't explain" and it really is.
The benefit....
It went SO well! There were SO many people...made my heart swell!
Had (at last count) 122 different auction groupings whether it be a basket of items or individual items. The out pour of support was AMAZING! Thank-you to EVERYONE who helped and donated!!!

Decorations were SO stinkin cute! Little paper bra's in sticks coming out of vases with colorful flowers! Little bra's everywhere and "Chemo Sucks" tree's with suckers on them! You gals did a fantastic job! Thanks to Missy, Traci and Aubrey!! :)

A farmer in the community donated a hog and a local meat locker butchered and cooked it as a donation. Randy Randall took a kick from the pig after it was dead! Crazy mad swelling and bruising! Thanks for taking 1 for the team buddy!
Tons of side dishes and desserts were brought in by donators and family and friends. Thanks to all of you who served food, ran up and down those stairs for more and who brought for the occasion!

A group of about 15 young kids had a couple of tables titled "Cookies For Chemo" and had been baking and decorating for a couple weeks. There were a TON of ribbon frosted sugar cookies etc! You kids ROCK!!

There was a table of "LuuLuu" items including t-shirts, koozies, pins, window sticky's, pens, bags, bracelets, key chains etc. Everything had LuuLuu printed on it. Thanks Bill, Nancy, Ashley and Sue!!!! Thanks to mom and Kevin also for helping out during the printing of the T's! :)

We had over a hundred door prizes which the girls gave away. The band "Fushion" played for free which was a lot of fun. Thanks Misha, Sommer, Mikey D and the band!!!! :)

All in all outside of the amount being raised which was wonderful (over $12,000)...it was so much fun seeing everyone! Family, friends, Ol' classmates, coworkers and even Grainger coworkers from Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.

Thank-you again to all for being so fantastic and reaching out to help the benefit be a success!!!
