Please text or pm your favorite Locks for Lilly photos!πΈ I am putting a little something together and would love your "view" of the event! Thank you in advance.
TEAM LILBUG.......
As of 9:26pm on 9/26/22, the Locks for Lilly event has raised π$19,367.πThat number is going to go up more w/additional donations and monies still coming, just have not been reported yet. The silent auction did well. The raffle did ok. The shaving of some additional locks raised $2000+ in cash, and the Lilly Giving Tree truly could have kept on giving if we had had more ribbons/envelopes to "gift" out.
I do believe I can speak for most of the volunteers (Kay, Steve, Cathy, Lindy, Johnny, Abby, CC, Ku**er, Jeff, Hayden, Sarah, Lauren F, Emily, Angellica, and Lauren J, Max) when I say, we were still recovering today from the fun on Saturday.π΄ My body still hurts, I'm tired, I am for sure "emotionally hungover", but my β€οΈ is so happy! We worked, we laughed, we sweat, and we raised funds and awareness. The core crew helped make Saturday a true SUCCESS. π
πI am incredibly grateful for those who showed up, that were not on the volunteer list, but wanted to help in whatever way they could. Thank you to Laxita Bolinger, Jim Baldwin, and CC's parents, and Chandra Steerman-Hofmeister Steppy for your time and support! πππ
π₯°I've said it a few time already, but I compare Saturday to our wedding day. We had so much fun and saw so many faces, but didn't get the chance to see every single person. There was SO much going on, and I felt I did my best to at say hello, hug, have a quick convo, or even wave to someone on the other side of the room. Then Jeff mentioned a few people I never saw and noticed a few faces in pics that I never got to talk to. If I didn't get to say hello, hug, have a quick convo, or get to tell you thank you, I thank YOU now and HOPE that you understand. π
πThank you again to all who made a monetary donation. Thank you to those who donated an item for the silent auction or a gift card for the Lilly Giving Tree. Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement and love. I know I am missing so many names above, but not everyone is apart of the FB world. I HOPE my thank you reaches you. π
Thank you for being a part of Team Lilbug.πππ
