πππ YOU GUYS!!!! YOU DID IT!!!πππ
After weeks of worrying, freaking out, pushing, sharing, asking, hoping, begging and honestly wondering if we were going to have to make the heartbreaking decision to cancelβ¦
WE SOLD ENOUGH TICKETS TO HOST KICK OFF FOR A CAUSE! ππππ
We are officially GOING TO HAVE OUR FUNDRAISER! I called Riley and he is dancing around the house!!!!
And we can't even put into words what that means to us. Seriouslyβ¦..
To EVERY SINGLE PERSON who bought a ticket, shared a post, told a friend, asked a coworker, talked to a neighbor, sent a text, or simply encouraged us when we were strugglingβ¦
THANK YOU. ππ This Fundraising stuff is not for the faint of heartβ¦..
This ...what happened this past week, this morning, is exactly what community is supposed to look like.
And while we have reached the number we needed to make the event happen, PLEASE DON'T STOP NOW! π
We would absolutely LOVE to sell more tickets and fill this place up. The more people who come, the more successful this fundraiser can beβ¦and ultimately, the more we can do for local pediatric cancer warriors and their families. π
ποΈ So keep sharing!
π Keep inviting your friends!
π― Grab your coworkers and family!
π² Keep spreading the word!
THIS IS GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLY FUN DAY!!!!
And we HAVE to give a HUGE shout-out to Christopher Shahin and his beautiful wife, Andrea Shahin. π
When ticket sales were slow and we were getting dangerously close to the point where this event might not happen, Chris and Andrea went into FULL COURT PRESS MODE. ππ₯
They didn't just share our post and wish us luck.
They pushed tickets.
They talked to people.
They reached out.
They shared.
They encouraged.
They kept pushing.
And between their efforts, they helped bring in 11 ticket sales! ππ
Chris has been part of Riley's life for a very long time. He was once Riley's Camp Good Days counselor and mentor, and somewhere along the way, that relationship became a lifelong friendship.
Chris and Andreaβ¦..thank you for believing in Riley, believing in Riley's Warriors, and believing that this event was worth fighting for. You are both amazing souls!!!
We are so incredibly lucky to have you in our corner. ππ
We also want to give a very special thank you to Mia Bianco and her family, who purchased 3 tickets to gift to a deserving family. π₯Ήπ
That generosity means so much to us, and we will absolutely make sure those tickets go to a family who deserves a night out and a little fun.
This is what happens when people come together.
One share. One ticket. One conversation. One act of kindness at a time.
And look what YOU GUYS DID. β€οΈ
KICK OFF FOR A CAUSE IS HAPPENING! ππ
Now let's see just how BIG we can make it. π₯
ποΈ BUY A TICKET
π² SHARE THIS POST
π― BRING YOUR PEOPLE
π COME TAILGATE WITH US
Let's fill the place, have one heck of a Bills tailgate, and raise as much as we possibly can for Riley's Warriors. ππ
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
We truly couldn't do this without you. π₯Ήπππ
