We miss you Jolene!
Our Cystic Fibrosis Benefit Auction went so well this year. After months of planning and preparing, we finally were able to pull off a wonderful and fun night of fundraising and remembering. What a joy it was to be there with a room full of Jolene's friends and family, friends of many other families effected by CF, and wonderful supporters! I am so thankful for everyone's love and support!
Thank you so much to everyone who came the night of, volunteered, donated, and helped in any way!
The amazing night began around 6pm with silent auction, raffle, appeitzers, and fun with friends. We then had a sit down dinner with food donated from the Olive Garden and Outback Steakhouse, as well as some live entertainment provided by the SnoValley Dolls (who were amazing!). The night was beautiful and all of the decorations were just perfect. We had a wonderful tribute for Jolene and spoke about cystic fibrosis and finding a cure. Karine gave a amazing talk about Jolene's life and spirit, which was beautiful. After the dinner we did our live auction with Teage as our amazing auctioneer, and he did an fabulous job. We had so much fun! Overall, the night was such a success and I was extremely grateful for all of the help and support that we received.

Our auction items were absolutely AMAZING this year! Such generosity, even in this economy.
Some of our wonderful volunteers.....we couldn't have accomplished this night without them. They were all so very amazing, just jumped right in and did everything they could to make this night a success. I LOVED all of them!
Teage was our amazing auctioneer!! He did such a wonderful job!!! I was very proud of him.
Erin, Karine, and I after when the night was coming to a close. What fantastic supports they are!
My little family the day after the auction with our special Ropes for Hope bracelets that Kaitie made us. Kaitie also came the night of the auction to sell her bracelets and be Vanna for Teage during the live auction. She was such a good sport! Thank you Kaitie!!!
