Benefit Recap: Team Justin Cox 2.0
Sat May 6th
By: Kacey Cox Event Coordinator
The final benefit post always comes as the hardest to me. Most importantly, I always try and reflect the recipient and their family's gratitude. On Saturday morning, I woke up and heard the rain, I instantly began to pray!! I text the Team Cox committee at 7:04am and said Blessings do come in the rain!! They all said lets get it DONE RAIN OR SHINE....Cook teams came, and people showed up in rubber boots, rain jackets and a smile. The community was there to do what they do best.....SHOW SUPPORT!
The benefit started out slow and the rain was all around us, we had to pause multiple times for lightning and heavy rains, after about 1pm the weather moved out and we were able to get the auction done and closed, along with cook-off results, awards and pictures. The event ended with Sammy Russo and The Groove Unit, playing some great music!!! There simply aren't enough words to express the gratitude to anyone and everyone that helped make this a success. No matter your contribution, Justin and our family thank you for your support, time, donations, and continued prayers.
-Thank you all for everything you did!!!
