We're still smiling from WE GO TO 11! This month's newsletter is packed with photos, Andy Tarnoff's original short film, and our latest podcast featuring Volunteer of the Year Matt Nielson!.

Most of all, it's a celebration of the incredible power of community and the kindness that continues to carry Savage Support forward after 11 years.

Grab a cup of coffee, click through, and relive the memories with us. Got an idea for a fundraiser? Send us a DM!

One last look behind the curtain... 🎬

While [most] everyone experienced the finished event, very few people saw everything it took to bring WE GO TO 11 to a reality.

Months of planning. Countless emails. Donations. Volunteers. Last-minute pivots. Lots of laughter. A little chaos. And an incredible community that made it all worthwhile.

Our friend Andy Tarnoff captured that journey in this 7-minute short film, which premiered during intermission at the event.

Whether you were there that night or cheering us on from afar, we wanted to share this with you. It's a fun, heartfelt look at what happens behind the scenes—and a reminder that every successful fundraiser is built by people willing to give their time, talents, and hearts.

We hope you enjoy this little glimpse into how we "took it to 11." ❤️

Looking back on WE GO TO 11, there are more thank-yous we couldn't let go unsaid.

This event was so much more than a movie night. It was a room full of people who gave their time, talent, and heart to support our neighbors facing breast cancer.

A huge thank you to Mariah da Weather Bookie for bringing such incredible energy as our emcee, and to Patrick Nettesheim and Music6s for sharing your mission and beautiful music with all of us.

A special thank you to Andy Tarnoff, whose original behind-the-scenes short film captured the heart, humor, and countless hours that went into planning. It is the perfect reminder that what our guests experienced in one evening was made possible by dedication from so many generous people.

To the amazing team at the Historic Oriental Theatre, thank you for welcoming us into your history and helping to make the evening a success. We couldn't have asked for a better partner.

Thank you to Dhariwal Photography for capturing so many wonderful moments we'll treasure for years to come.

And to our volunteers...you are the heart of Savage Support. Julie, Matt, Danielle, Shauna, Mary, Martha, Deanna M, Johnny and everyone who pitched in behind the scenes: you made the night happen. From setup to cleanup, silent auction to guest check-in, and yes...even celebrating together at the after-party...thank you for showing up with your whole hearts.

We say it often, but it's because it's true!! This community continues to amaze us. Thank you for believing in our mission, believing in one another, and always showing what community looks like. ❤️

Eleven years.

It's hard to put into words what this community has built.

What started as an idea born from a personal experience with breast cancer has become thousands of acts of kindness, made possible by people like you.

Tonight isn't only about celebrating Savage Support, it's about celebrating every volunteer, donor, sponsor, beneficiary, and friend who believed that showing up for your neighbor matters.

Thank you for helping us go to 11.

See you tonight. 💞
