Shipwreck Grill Fundraiser

Twelve hours of fun/work.
Amazing opportunity.
Incredible community Support.
Pink Warriors.
So grateful and honored.  


So many local businesses were in a giving mood.  We ended up with TEN packages to give away at the raffle!!!  (I wish I would've thought ahead of time about having someone there to sell tickets while I was eating or mingling.)  I was also able to use the raffle money to sponsor our local support group in the virtual 5K we are doing, as well as to help with our float for the local Christmas parade.


I loved pulling out some of the pink decor I've collected over the year--the pink pumpkin my Pink Warriors made for me last year, the art I won at last year's Pink Alliance luncheon....so fun!



I was able to give out lots of paper cranes and tell the story of Sadako, while passing on wishes of love and hope!


My picture is in this Beyond Boobs! 2017 calendar!  We sold some at the event.  


At each of the tables, we put these thank-yous, along with a little background on the story.  


I was so glad so many of our friends and co-workers were able to come join us for a fun day.  





With all the generous donations from the 20% of the profits of the restaurant's sales as well as those from our gofundme account, we were almost able to raise enough for our deductible and co-insurance for 2017!!!  Thank you!  Thank you!!!
