Post-benefit Update!

Hello, Everybody!

We are still working on getting all the Auction items out to the winning bidders, so we don't have any final numbers yet, (and I will update the ticker when we do) but it is looking like the night was a huge success!

Thank you so much to everyone who turned out, people who couldn't turn out but helped spread the word, to all of the volunteers who lent a hand (you guys are ROCKSTARS!), to everyone who made a donation, to Blaze and Kelly & Hey V Kay for providing great music, and especially to Liquid for donating that amazing space for us to use! 

Thank you also to Dana, who got the ball rolling on this whole thing, and did a TON of work making sure that it ran smoothly :) Lastly, Thank you to Kelly who did a fantastic job as our MC, and helping run the event.  We love you guys!

Just in case anyone was wondering, it is looking like we managed to raise over $2,000 to help Angela!  She is incredibly grateful, and still doesn't quite believe it happened! :)

In addition to updating the site with the final donation tally once we get it, I plan on leaving up the Paypal button in case anyone who couldn't make the benefit wanted to make a contribution down the road.

I will also be using the site to keep you all updated on Angela's condition, and any treatment that she is able to receive because of your generosity, so please continue checking back!

Again, thank you, and we love you all!

Volunteer update!

Click the image to see the big version!

Well, Thanks to the support of some truly Awesome people, we have almost all the volunteers we need...Almost.

We still need another responsible adult who happens to be good at counting, and doesn't plan on taking too much advantage of the bar setting ;) to be a cashier.

Another runner, and someone else to help out with raffle sales wouldn't be an entirely bad idea, but beggars can't be choosers :)

If your name isn't on the list and you might be interested in helping out, please leave a comment, or click here to shoot me an email!

Thanks everyone!

Second band!

Happy Saturday!
Just a quick post today...we have a second band set up to play!  They are called Hey V Kay, and they are pretty darn awesome, so click here to check out their website, or here to head over to their Facebook page and give some love!



Edit: just noticed that they have a player you can add to your site :) enjoy!

Update!

Hi, everyone!

We have great news! I have just been informed that the amazingly talented Blaze and Kelly have agreed to play at the benefit! This is so completely exciting! We hope to see you all there!

(I put a little player widget from their website below so you can hear what you are in store for :) let me know if it doesn't work!)


We are still looking at a couple other bands to play as well, so stay tuned!
 I hope you are getting as excited about this as we are!

Also, I updated the previous post (click here to view) to reflect what volunteers we have gotten so far, so if you are interested in helping out, please click here to email me!

Newt & Harolds Donation!

Hey everyone! The wonderful folks over at Newt and Harolds Just donated a wicked sweet Etnies tshirt, and a Volcom Jacket to us, so head on over to facebook (Click here) and give them some love!

Skateboard!

Hello again!

Our super rad roommate, Niki just gave us a skateboard rocking the "Crooked Fence Brewery" logo that she won down at Mulligans bar a couple weeks ago.  It is really nice, never ridden, (perhaps stood on a time or two) and has nice shiny wheels with cool designs on them (can you tell that I don't know anything about skateboards?)

Thanks, Niki!  This is really awesome! It even has the coveted "Raisin-cat seal of approval!"

Progress!

Good morning, everyone! I hope you are all doing well today. :) 

Hopefully you have noticed our shiny new Paypal button, and donation ticker over there to the right.  It should be working completely by the end of the day.  If anyone finds it in their hearts to donate funds to help Angela out, I know she would be incredibly grateful.  We will be updating the ticker as necessary to show how much we manage to raise with this effort.

 Thank you to everyone who suggested Idaho Central Credit Union. We went in there yesterday and got an account all set up for her medical bills.  They were incredibly helpful, and are even going to help with refinancing her car loan so that her monthly payments are much lower. That will help her out a lot, so big thank you to ICCU! They are a great institution, and I highly recommend them!

Also, as of this morning, Dana is working with the Liquid downtown on figuring out a date for the benefit so stay tuned! Big thanks to them as well.

Angela has had such an improvement in her (already cheerful) spirits since this effort began a week ago.  Knowing how many people care about her is just blowing her mind.  You are all so wonderful!  All this progress is so exciting, but we still have a lot of work to do.

If you are interested in donating something to the auction, or helping gather up donations from local businesses, please email me at benefit.for.angela@gmail.com

Thanks again for your continued support!
