This past weekend, we hosted our final fundraising event for the 3-Day for the Cure, our Spaghetti Dinner & Trivia Night fundraiser at the Genesee Otter Lake Campground. More than 75 people participated and we raised $1,000!
We served up 15 pounds of spaghetti (Stef is a pro in the kitchen), which seemed like an unbelievable amount of food, but it made it through the night (phew). The second half of the evening was our Trivia game. We had 12 teams participate, which made for a lot of laughs. We closed it out with our tin can auction (OK, pink bag auction), where we had 33 gifts to give away. Many of those were made or donated by camping family, which we are so grateful for. (The most popular item? The case of Bud Light. Go figure :)
All told, I was amazed and delighted with the evening... the weather forecast was NOT favorable (it did not stop raining), yet we had so many of our camping friends there to support us. Some of them brought their friends or family, and we even had a few friends come up who joined us at the campground for the first time. (I think they deserve a special medal for sticking it out this weekend!)
Thank you, everyone, for all of your support on this event. From the folks who donated gifts, made gifts, donated food items or helped at the event, we really, really, really appreciate your kindness, your generosity and your friendship.
