Hey MOTHER LOVERS 💜

I wanted to take a moment on behalf of Jessica, Brittany and myself, Erin, to thank you all once again for your enthusiasm and support for this event. It is truly humbling.

I love this event for so many reasons but most of all because it is for a great cause.

We are proud to announce we were able to raise just over $11,000 for the JRMC ANGELS fund this year!

If you dont know, the ANGELS fund is an exceptional program that provides monetary support for families that suffer the heartbreak of infant loss during child birth at JRMC.

I am so thankful for all of you that registered and made this donation possible. I hope you enjoyed the event!

To Jess & Brittany, my partners in crime, I wouldn't be able to do this without you guys, thank you for all you guys do & especially encouraging me to power through when things get overwhelming. That's what this event is about, just supporting one another on the overwhelming days and reminding each other that we are doing just fine.

To The Wooly for providing your gorgeous space, fantastic staff and ALL those mimosas 😍 🥂

To our amazing sponsors, whether it be the vital monetary donations or the thoughtful baskets and other door prizes we receive! Your generosity and kindness continues to humble us!

To Megan Wahl Photography, for stepping up and donating your time to take such phenomenal pictures at the event, and for sharing them with all the attendees!

To all the helpers, friends, family and volunteers, who show up early before the event and help pull it all together like magic!

To Ken Gardner, our jack of trades, our MC, tour guide, crossing guard, safety professional and comedic relief! Thank you for keeping us all on track!

To Brooklyn Busch who beautifully hand writes EVERY single attendees name on their shirt, you are the real MVP!

I would also like to recognize The Grateful Plate, Busy E's Bakery and Cashwise who provided food for the event. Check them out if you have any event coming up!

To Oma's for providing samples for the event and Stutsman County Extension for the seed packets for our attendees.

Thanks for being a Mother Lover, see you next year!

Get a hold of us if you are interested in helping with next year's event!

Hey MOTHER LOVERS!

I have been trying to find the right words to thank everyone that attended, volunteered, donated and supported the 2nd Annual Mother Lover Charity but I am not sure they would ever be enough.

So... plain & simple. THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts.

The lovely people and businesses of Jamestown and surrounding communities showed up BIG TIME to support this event and most of all to support the women in our communities!

Because of you, we will be able to donate over $7,000.00 to the Jamestown Safe Shelter this year!

Thank you to the Wooly for hosting in your beautiful establishment and providing such a lovely venue and yummy mimosas. Your staff helps make the event so much fun!

Thank you, Lisa Lang, for donating your time and skills to capture all of the special moments!

Thank you, Nikki Domke, at Grateful Plate and Erin Zirbes at Busy E's Bakery for making such delightful food! You guys should check them out for your next event!

Thank you, to Orriginals and 701 apparel for getting all the things printed and ready and perfect for the event!

Thank you to all the individuals and business donations that allowed us to plan and organize and provide a special experience and absolutely amazing door prizes for our MOTHER LOVERS!

Thank you to Ken Gardner for keeping everyone safe and headed in the right direction!

Thank you to Jessica Gardner and Brittany Ganarelli for all of your encouragement, support, hard work and great ideas! I would never have had the guts to try to put this together without you guys!

Thank you to Ashly Wolsky for letting us use all of your beautiful decor again!

Thank you to Brooklyn Busch for beautifully hand-writing each attendee's name on their shirt tag.

Thank you to the "pit crew" that show up early and make everything come together and work out just as planned! You guys are the real MVPs!

Thank you to my husband Matt, for helping me do all the little things, carrying all the big things and listening to me talk about it all non-stop for months. Love you. 💕

Thank you, MOTHER LOVERS, for signing up and coming out!

See you NEXT YEAR!
