Our Adoption Fundraisers: Could you be the one?

The one who steps up to the call? The one who will care? The one who will help TODAY? We are only about 4 weeks out from our fundraiser to bring Lia home. I am going to say it again, "we need your help."

Many of you know the struggles we have endured with this adoption. If not feel free to visit Sown in My Heart and read our story from the beginning.

So once again I am calling on you, our friends, our family, our support system to help us end this journey with a MIRACLE. Jason and I have been working hard putting together a fundraiser that people would enjoy.

The Lia’s Hope Foundation Cash Bash will be held March 20th at Knights of Columbus.

There will be free food, free beer, music, raffles, black jack, hold em, and various independent sales people including Lia Sophia, Sentsy, Tastefully Simple and many more. So ladies while the men play cards you can shop till you drop! And all to hep bring Lia home.

We have been contacting several local businesses and shops to see if they would be willing to donate an item or a gift certificate for us to give away. Many of them have said yes. Look at the sidebar to see who. More and more are added each day!

Yet once again we have found ourselves not able to do it alone and in much need of help. We are callin’ out to all you softies.

All of you who wish to see Lia home and can‘t wait to watch as she grows into a beautiful young woman.

Please leave a comment or e-mail me at akemnetz@yahoo.com and let me know if you can help in any way. Keep me posted on your efforts and how I can help you.

1) We need help promoting the event. Jason and I have hung well over 200 posters around town but we still have well over 100 more to hang. Could you help? It there one hanging up where you work?

2) We need help getting people to the event. Do you have a group of friends willing to drink free beer and eat free food for a good cause.

Gather them up and head over to Knights of Columbus on Sat March 20th. Tickets will be available to purchase at the door from 6-8pm.

3) Are you crafty? We are looking for help putting together gift baskets and setting up the week of the event.

4) We are looking for independent sales people (ie Mary Kay, Tupperware, and the like) willing to donate a portion of their sales to the Lia’s Hope Foundation, to set up display tables (“parties”) at the benefit. What a great way to promote your business!

5) Want to help but can’t come the night of the benefit? We are in desperate need of themed raffle baskets.

No ideas? How about: Date night, movie night, cookie basket, home décor, workout basket, gardening basket, toy basket, candy basket, book basket, family game night basket, cooking baskets, baby basket, wine baskets, car care baskets, hair bow basket, baked goodies and MANY MANY more needed!
You will be recognized for your donations both online and at the event!

6) We would also love handmade items from any and all of you crafters out there.
You will be recognized for you donations both online and at the event!

7) Finally trust me we realize times are difficult for many! If you feel you can't do anything would you consider foregoing a lunch out or your morning coffee for a day and donating even 5 or 10 dollars to the LIA’S HOPE FOUNDATION? TRUST me on this one EVERY PENNY COUNTS. Donations can be made to the LIA’S HOPE FOUNDATION at any Homestar Bank or to the chip in on the sidebar.

I have faith that with your help, we all are going to be the reason that Lia’s dream of a forever family can come true.

Again please e-mail me at akemnetz@yahoo.com and I’ll drop off or pick up whatever you need and Thank YOU for your contributions.

So, what are you waiting for, get together with a buddy and start packing up those baskets and please send me an e-mail at akemnetz@yahoo.com to keep me posted on your efforts.
