Well the Relay was a huge success and here are some of the highlights!
-We raised a total of 2118.25 cents! At the event alone we raised over $630 dollars. Thanks to all who donated time, money, and supplies.
-The games were a big hit. We rented them from American Carnival Mart! Thanks to everyone who helped run the games for the families. Good job!
-Thanks to the Brinkman's, everyone enjoyed cold slushies. You guys are fantastic!!!! Thanks to everyone who poured and sold slushies.
-The necklaces, bracelets and other fun items did very well too! A big thanks to Donna, Andria, Debbie, Angie and Katie for helping with all of that. If you sold suff too.... Thanks!!!!
-Our banner won best banner of the night voted by the survivors. This was a group effort between Angie, Katie and myself. I think it was because Cindy was on it!!!
-Ryan got second place in the Queen of the Relay contest. Next year we will come in first!!! It is on!
-Our team got a rising star for the night, but now that we are above 2000 dollars, we might be considered a bronze team. This means we get a sign to put out at our sight next year! AWESOME job!
-The event raised over 53,000 dollars! Wow.
-Thanks to all who brought snacks to share.... they were great too.
-Our camp was georgously decorated! Thanks to Donna and Katie for picking out the decor and Jack for setting up the cute toys. Also thanks to all those who came early to help set up.
-Thanks to Shawn Prinster (my bro) who lent us his golf cart to haul stuff. This saved a lot of time and power.
I hope I remembered everything. We definately plan on doing this next year. I would love your input and suggestions. I would also like some suggestions for fundraisers we can do as a team outside of the relay. We will try and start earlier next year now that we know what we are doing! We did really well for our first year out. It was a blast hanging out with everyone and sharing this event. Cindy would have loved seeing everyone and sharing this too. We did this for her and for our other survivors: Donna, Ruth and Stephanie. We hope that this little bit can make a difference in at least one life. We also continue to pray for a cure to this terrible disease. Thanks for supporting us and the cause. See you next year!!!
