So here goes. The
week was extremely productive (Read: it flew by, I have no idea where it went,
copious amounts of coffee was consumed, but a lot got done). We secured the venue for our last fundraiser
and finalized all the details. Custom
auction items were completed. Additional
auction items were secured. Pictures
were taken, videos were shot, and interviews were conducted. And as usual, emails were sent, phone calls
were made, and shameless “Hey, did you happen to check on?” or “Think you’ll be
able to donate?” questions were asked.
Finally, my jury is still out on whether or not to disclose
the current team total on our way to $100,000.
None of the six teams has any idea how much the others’ have
raised. It’s all very secretive and our
campaign manager, Jen, has such a poker face I often wonder if we should just
have a Texas hold’em tourney here in Fort Wayne and call it good. She could clear more than the campaign goal
all on her own with that face.
Between the six teams I can tell you we’ve collectively
raised…$14,560 in our first week.
This money will make a difference. It’s not just a number on paper or a
screen. It matters. THANK
YOU to all of you who have donated thus far. You have been incredibly generous and I
appreciate it greatly! There’d be no way
to do this without your support.
Next update in a week.
For now let’s just say I’m feeling very Smokey and the Bandit-ish - We’ve got a long way to go and a short time
to get there...
63 Days.
