Exciting News and Feedback

Posted On: May 25th, 2011

Hello friends!

As we approach the 2011 Night of Hope this Friday evening, we’d like to pass along some feedback we received this week.

The president of the Children’s Organ Transplant Association, a national non-profit, called us to personally thank us and our supporters (YOU) for helping to make a transplant a reality for a young Burlington girl. Please visit www.Cota.org for more information on this super organization. There you can find more and continued ways to help this family who is now waiting for another (different) transplant.

Combined with the heartfelt message of thanks we received from the family, it served as a great validation of what we are working to accomplish…to ease the burden of making treatment needs a reality while allowing a family to be a family with a few less things to worry about.

Thanks for your continued support. If you have your tickets for Friday, thank you. If your friends, family and co-workers don’t yet have them, please encourage them to get them and bid high for any or all the nearly 100 auction items we have available.

We understand there are many, many excellent charitable organizations to choose from and support with your hard earned dollars and time. Thank you for being part of ours.
