We've been keeping a secret. ❤️

And now that the Red Carpet Event is behind us, we finally get to share it with you.

The mom we've all been fighting for was in the room Saturday night. 🥹

She was there. She saw the people who showed up. She heard the words spoken. She watched a room full of people come together for a family that 95% of them have never even met.

And while so many of you were hearing her story for the first time, she was sitting right there among you.

We've worked hard to protect her privacy and allow her to share her story in her own time. But after Saturday night, she sent me a message and gave me permission to share it with all of you.

I could try to explain what this night meant to her, but I think it's far more important that you hear it in her own words.

This is why we do what we do. This is who you showed up for. And this is the difference you are helping make.

From one mom's heart to yours... ❤️

📸🎥 SPAMMMMM US WITH YOUR PHOTOS & VIDEOS!!! 🤩

Seriously. We want ALLLLL of them!

We want to see our events through YOUR eyes! The pictures, the videos, the laughs, the dancing, the memories, the moments we didn't get to see ourselves... SEND. SEND. SEND. SEND! 📸❤️

📧 [email protected]

In the subject line, simply tell us which event you attended!

For example: Red Carpet Event

❤️ One little request: Please only send photos and videos that you're comfortable with us sharing on our social media pages and website!

Now, let's just say, hypothetically, someone took a little tumble while walking the red carpet... 👀😂

Do we ABSOLUTELY want to see that video? YES. YES, WE DO. 🤣

But maybe send that one to us personally and not to this email. We promise to laugh with you, not at you. Okay, maybe a little at you. 😂❤️

We want to relive these moments with you, so don't be shy!

FLOOD THAT INBOX!!! 📸🎥❤️

We are still trying to process last night. ❤️

Our minds are blown, and our hearts are SO full. 🥹

Where do we even begin? Words just don't seem like enough to express how grateful we are.

To every single person who showed up, gave, donated, volunteered, prayed, bid, or simply believed in what we're trying to accomplish through The 2540 Project...THANK YOU.

Last night was about so much more than auction items or money raised. It was about people coming together, hearts being touched, hope being restored, and a community showing what love in action really looks like.

We are overwhelmed in the very best way.

We have so many people to thank, so many moments to share, and so much to celebrate. We promise, more is coming! But today, we're still just taking it all in.

📧 A quick note for our auction winners: If you won a silent auction item and did not leave with a physical item, please check your email! Your item and fulfillment details will be waiting for you there. For our live auction winners, you'll also be receiving information about your winnings and how to get everything into your hands!

To everyone who played a part in last night, whether big or small, please know that YOU made a difference. You helped us take another step toward giving a family something every family deserves. A safe place to call home. ❤️

God is so good. And this community? We really don't have the words.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU. ❤️

We need people in the room. ❤️

Our crew is working hard to prepare for Saturday, and behind every detail is a hope that this night will help us move closer to giving a family a safe place to call home.

We can prepare the room, gather the auction items, and share the mission. But we need people willing to walk through the doors and be part of it.

Please consider buying a ticket and inviting a friend or coworker to come with you. You don’t have to make a huge donation to matter here. Your ticket, your presence, and the person you invite all help move us toward our goal.

If you’ve been thinking about coming, we would truly love to see you there. And if you already have your ticket, would you personally invite someone today? Sometimes a simple “Come with me” is all it takes.

Thank you for helping us carry something that means so much to us.

BreAnn ✨
