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!

Molly Hudson and Nathan Polnow donation

Good morning!
I just received a donation at work that I wanted to share...these are pretty stunning paintings. I might have to turn them the wrong way around, because everyone who walks by my little cubicle is stopping and asking about them!

The first one is by the lovely Molly Hudson, and has a gorgeous firey sky

And the second one is by her friend, Nathan Polnow, and uses some really great colors in the sky as well!

Both paintings are on 18x24 canvas.
Thanks guys!

Kat Wiese donation of AWESOMENESS

Ok, in the interest of full disclosure, I am just going to come right out and tell you that this is my absolute favorite donation.  Mostly because I want it for myself :)  My extremely generous friend, Kat Wiese has donated this beauty...but "what is it?" you ask?

well, it comes in this completely normal looking box (complete with 2 locks...and the keys that match!)

nothing too impressive, right? But what's this when you open it? A tray containing a Singer instruction manual (the most recent copyright date in the manual is 1947 FYI) for a model 221-1, a very old tube of Singer motor lubricant, and various bobbins and sewing machine feet.

...and then, you lift out the tray, and this gorgeous piece of history resides inside.  The best part? It still runs. No, scratch that. it doesn't run. it PURRS. It even still has the matching Singer pedal!

In case you can't tell, this one really has me wishing I had money to spare hahaha.
Thanks, Kat! 
This thing is truely incredible, and I really hope it finds a home with someone who truely appreciates its beauty and keeps it in its current pristine condition!
