As I've blogged before, my good friend Amy was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer earlier this year. Unfortunately, this week she received VERY disheartening news from her oncologist... He told her to start preparing her family and friends to expect the worst outcome. She is not giving up hope, however much of the treatments that have been suggested for her condition are experimental and not covered by insurance, therefore her friends and family are trying to raise some money to help ease her financial burdon!
She was on the news last week,
you can see the video. My high school girlfriends and I had our first fundraiser on Saturday at the Mission Sonic. We raised nearly $1200!!!
The BIG fundraiser is this coming Saturday at J. Murphy's Irish Pub and Grille in Shawnee from 3-8 p.m (22730 Midland Dr Shawnee, KS 66226). There are many exciting things planned for Operation Saving Amy including a silent auction and live entertainment from The Mikey Needleman Band. They will also have three raffles throughout the night. Prizes being raffled include a Pink Nuvi 250 (a navigation system from Garmin) and a 7 day stay in Las Vegas! ANYONE is welcome! A $5 donation at the door is appreciated.
No, we do not let Mitchell drink pop, but he really enjoys the cups! Wouldn't this be a great Sonic advertisement! :)
