Ist Fundraiser a Success!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the generosity you offered Andres! It looked like the stock exchange with everyone waiving their checkbooks trying to buy all the items offered. The neighbors at M2i did a spectacular job organizing the event with wonderful food and wine. I went early to try and help and they had everything already organized. You are hired as event planners!

This event has raised $9,695! WOW!

This will give my brother the opportunity to have access to all the services (i.e. custodial care) and tools (rented equipment) he needs in order to continue his journey. He is so driven to work hard and now he won't be held back by insurance company restrictions.

For people who came to the 9/24 event: Three raffle items were not claimed. The winning ticket numbers were: 912007, 912215, 911928. Each won a $20.00 gift certificate to MAK Cleaners. One silent auction item, the Padres gift pack, was also not claimed. If you believe you had the winning bid or have a winning raffle ticket, please call Dee Thompson at 619-232-1875. Unclaimed prizes will be donated to the Pineda Family.

A big "thank you" to Chad Cavanaugh for providing the music! He will be playing at Cane's in Mission Beach on Wednesday, October 22nd, at 8:00pm. Tickets are $10.00 and can be purchased by writing to him at chad.cavanaugh@yahoo.com.

That is so great to hear! I am so happy to hear that the fundraiser was a success! Thanks to all who helped and attended...I wish I could have been there to see everyone rally around such an important time for our friend. I am comforted to know we have such a great group of friends to not only celebrate the good times together but also to support each other through the rough times. Dre Rules!
