Denver - Fundraiser

Well, yes we are back safe, and how much fun we had, I mean, wow we worked SO HARD haha! What an amazing event. Noel and Wendy, owners of the Celtic Tavern and Delaney's were probably some of the most genuine people I think I have ever met in my life. They donated, they helped, they were just the kind of people you wish you could meet everyday. Kevin, and Optimal Frequency, for donating your time, THANKS! You guys are SO good. We really do want you to come to SLC. Seth, loved to see you up on stage again! Thanks for your HUGE effort and all the work you put into this, it paid off. Oh, and for making me laugh as you had the CO player's totally jammin, AWESOME! To Mr. and Mrs. Trembly, you did it right! Seth has grown up with the two of you as his example, and just like you fostering and giving homes to so many kids that never would have had one, he too finds a way to make a difference!

Now, the Colorado Rapids, I know as Real Salt Fans we refer to them as the "Crapids" but let me tell you, the geneousity, and sincerety that was shown by the player's of this team was SO SO cool! This rival team had individuals that donated money, purchased donation tickets, (thanks Mehdi, and Christian for the cash donations you made), players donated their jerseys, their own time to golf, or train, they totally helped our event be a success, That truly is the meaning of friendship and I KNOW Andy and Marcia are very very thankful. I hope that when the group of 20 that purchased the suite, THAT THE RAPID'S FRONT OFFICE DONATED, THANK YOU, go to the game on October 25, that you give that team a standing ovation. Not for being a team, but for being great individuals!

To Laura, Jen, Julie and Madi, my Utah volunteers, I could not have done it without you. It was so funny, we walked into Delaney's and Seth was waiting, a bit nervous, and we just took over! This team had the auction in order and signs printed and up in a matter of a few hours. Still not exactly sure how Madi passed for 21, and I now know never to let her out of my site again after watching men hit on her all night long! haha again everyone THANKS! take a look at the great pictures Julie took for us, hopefully you can share in the event with us.

REMEMBER, it can now be your turn, we have the golf tournament, Juan Diego vs Judge Girl's event, and CASINO NIGHT. Let's come together Utah and create success! Plus you make alot of great friends!

Thanks to all... Love ya, Deb

And a big shout out to Mehdi also for redonating the Wii he won in the "giveaway". After donating a hundred bucks to buy tickets and winning, he put it back up for auction and raised another $275 (is that the right number?) for our cause! You are a class act Mehdi. Thanks!

And thanks to Seth for being a wonderful host throughout it all. Marley rocks...

And Deb, you know we couldnt have done any of this without you.
