The only words we can find are THANK YOU!!!
The fundraiser we hosted at the brewery on Saturday for Maven and his family was incredible. We have so many thank you’s to hand out and I’m sure we will miss a few (we apologize in advance for that). Thank you to everyone who signed up for the Bags tournament and congratulations to our winners (thank you to those of you that donated back as well, we saw you! The Bags tournament was sponsored by AES Solar ):
1st place- Kyle & Drew
2nd place- Yonkos Lake
3rd place- Corn Stars
THANK YOU to every single musician ( Matt Basler Music , Chad Harris , Cody Galloway , Shannon Arview , John Guetersloh , Logan Clough , & We Got it Covered ) that took time out of your days to come and entertain the crowd for this event at absolutely no cost and for donating back tips to the family! Thank you Trey Ford for organizing all music, getting sponsorships, collecting auction items, and being the MC!
THANK YOU to the woman that won the 50/50 drawing and donated it back without hesitation!!
Thank you to every single person and business who donated a silent auction item or a baked good, thank you for everyone who stopped in to purchase something, to make a bid on an item, to buy raffle tickets, or to just put a donation in the bucket! Thank you to our staff at Route 51 Brewery for pulling a long day and an extra thank you to those of you that worked and donated all of your time and tips back! Thank you to St. Nicholas Brewing Company and Kalins Cafe for being drop off locations and collecting auction items! Thank you to Cory Ritter and Debbie Cook Ritter for running items to the brewery almost daily and for helping set up and tear down the entire event! Thank you to Lacie Hitchens for organizing the t shirt fundraiser prior to the event.
And last but not least, THANK YOU to our COMMUNITY for showing this family so much love and kindness through their journey! This wasn’t possible without ALL of YOU!
