What started as a desire to help one precious little girl and her family turned into something so much bigger than we could have ever imagined. An ENTIRE VILLAGE came together, rolled up their sleeves, opened their hearts, and made something truly extraordinary happen! 💗
❤️ TO OUR INCREDIBLE VOLUNTEERS: You are the HEART AND SOUL of this benefit! From the early planning stages to the very last bit of cleanup, you showed up, worked tirelessly, donated your time, and gave everything you had. Some of you worked behind the scenes for weeks, while others jumped in wherever an extra set of hands was needed. WE SEE YOU, WE APPRECIATE YOU, AND WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU!!!!
❤️ TO OUR GENEROUS DONORS & SPONSORS: Every monetary donation, auction item, raffle prize, baked good, supply, service, and contribution helped make this possible! Whether your donation was big or small, it MATTERED! Your generosity is something we will never forget!
❤️ TO OUR BARTENDERS, EVENT HELPERS & EVERYONE WHO WORKED BEHIND THE SCENES: You kept things moving, kept people smiling, and helped make this event a success. Your hard work did not go unnoticed!
❤️ TO EVERY BUSINESS THAT STEPPED UP: Thank you for showing what SUPPORT LOCAL and COMMUNITY STRONG really mean! Your willingness to give back speaks volumes about the incredible businesses we are blessed to have in our area!
❤️ TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO ATTENDED: Whether you bought a raffle ticket, bid on an auction item, participated in an activity, made a donation, shared our posts, brought your family, or simply showed up to support Mae — YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE!!!!
❤️ TO OUR FINNFEST TEAM: What an incredible group of people to stand beside! The dedication, teamwork, long hours, laughter, and yes, even a little chaos along the way 😂, made this an experience we will cherish forever!
And to everyone who helped in ways the public may never even know about — THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! ❤️
💗 TO THE BUZZARD FAMILY: We hope this incredible outpouring of love reminds you that you are NEVER walking this journey alone. Your little Mae has an entire village standing behind her, cheering her on, praying for her, and fighting alongside you! 🐦💗
LITTLE BIRD, BIG FIGHT!!!! 💪💕
While FinnFest may be over, Mae's journey continues. We encourage everyone to continue supporting the Buzzard family through upcoming benefits, fundraisers, prayers, and acts of kindness. Let's keep this incredible momentum going!
