Just over two weeks left to support my daughter Ella’s NHS senior project AND the Dream Factory of Rochester, the fabulous organization that fulfilled her dream back in 2018.

Have fun with our family and friends for a great cause! And prep yourselves for the next MSB BINGO event this September!

So, it’s not an MSB event, but I (Jamie) am a proud mom and want to share the great work my daughter Ella is doing.

She has chosen to run a BINGO event for her National Honor Society senior project to support the Dream Factory of Rochester, which fulfilled a dream for her back in 2018.

If you don’t have plans, consider joining Ella and our family for this fabulous fundraiser!

From Ella: Hi everyone! I’m still looking for attendees and donations for my NHS BINGO event benefitting the Dream Factory. Below is the flyer and link to buy tickets!! The event is May 9th from 10am-1pm at Klem South Elementary in Webster.

We were so fortunate to have Jason Jipson from PBJ Media (https://pbjmedia.mypixieset.com/) find us this year. Not only did his family help immensely with donations for our families, Jason also donated his time to take some photos as we wrapped things up (literally and figuratively) in 2025.

One of the best parts about MSB is the community involvement. The Webster Police Department, New York and both West Webster Fire Department and Webster Volunteer Fire Department are a big piece of that. For years they've been delivering gifts via fire trucks to our Webster families.

Pics by Jip went along for the ride this year. Because of the nature of what we do, we won't show the families, but we can show the hard work by the volunteers to ensure the gifts made it to their homes safe and sound.

Thank you, Webster first responders for your efforts, and Jason, for the incredible shots!
