Friday night was my guild's 3rd annual "Summer Soiree" event... year #1 we raised $8,000.00, year #2 we raised $45,000.00 and this year I am PROUD to say we were able to raise $63,113.00! By the grace of God, a lot of blood, sweat & tears and TRUE TEAM WORK, this event was near-perfection (perfect would have been if 2 major players on our guild could have been in attendance to see their hard work pay off- we missed you Steph Champ and Danie!)... Yes, my little Project Grace Guild is growing up.
Here it is on Sunday night and I am still in genuine awe with how these remarkable women along with our friends and family all came together to create an event so beautiful & successful to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children's!
Set-up: me and my amazing co-chair Shelley!
Check out the vision the decorations team created and delivered! The decorations, flowers, details were simply INCREDIBLE!
My sweet mom couldn't attend the actual event but came by to show her support and check out all the hard work we had done--- Mom, you are the best! Meant so much to me :)
All dressed up--- the beautiful ladies of the Project Grace Guild (minus Steph C & Danie)
The grounds were so gorgeous... fun taking pre-auction pics! Felt like the excitement before a wedding!
Co-Chairs and besties! Me & Shelley!
My amazing friend Sarah (who was also personal make-up artist of the night and is also a new Stella & Dot rep!)
Ugh... me during my AWFUL, nervous 1.2 second speech in an attempt to welcome everyone post-silent auction and pre-live auction! Luckily Shelley was next to me to take over (and did an awesome job!)...
Let the bidding begin!
Me & my adorable (and tiny!) mother in law--- always such a big supporter of all that we do!
Sarah*Eliz*Caroline: enjoying the party!
Heather*Shelley*Eliz*Jessica*Sarah
Jessica is an amazing friend (was in our wedding!) and consistent friend and supporter of the guild--- she likes those wine items :)
Here we are with our incredible, patient, supportive, loving and amazing hubbies! Couldn't have done this without them!
SEPTEMBER 16TH 2010... How much can we raise NEXT year? :)
