Team Lost Dogs Takes The Cake!!!










As you can see above, we have officially taken the cake!!! Our fundraising raffle party at Don Ramon's was a huge success and we had an awesome/emotional time during the event! It was great seeing so many family members, friends, colleagues, teammates, and even a few strangers come together to raise money to find a cure for blood cancers while having a good time trying to win prizes! We hope everyone had as much fun as we did and we want everyone who went, or wanted to be there, to know how much your support means to us! We wish everyone could have walked away with a prize, but in the end we all get to walk away from this event with a sense of pride for where our money has gone!

So about the party...It was a huge success, we hit our minimum (minimum-$6400, we have now raised over $7300 total)! Between presale raffle tix ($600), and the party itself ($900), we raised $1500 yesterday thanks to all of the generous people who donated to help find a cure in memory of Danny!!! We hope you guys had as much fun as we did, and again, thanks for everything!

Special shout outs to Katie Brown for sharing her courageous story of survival, Regina Savage for her generosity in donating a proceed of her book sales to our cause (please check out her amazing books at www.QuietAngelPublishing.com and www.MirrorMakeoversTravelingCancerBook.blogspot.com ), Bonnie Perry and Amanda Wright (mom and sis) from AB Entertainment for donating their karaoke and DJ services, Don Ramon's Mexican Restaurant for donating the room, The Knox Family for all of their help with coordinating the event and selling tickets, Sharon (mom) for helping us out throughout the day, all of the companies and people who donated such great raffle prizes, and Danny's family who's appearance meant a lot to us! We are stoked that they could be there the night we hit our goal, of all nights!

We couldn't have done this without all of you donors and supporters!!! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!! WE MADE IT, WOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!
