The response to our inaugural golf fundraiser has been, well, awesome!
When we hatched this idea as a way to support the wonderful caretakers in the NICU, our goals were modest. We hoped to raise a few dollars, raise some awareness of what the NICU meant to us, put together a few golf teams, and most importantly have some fun! However, we have had pledges, sponsorships, donations and golfer registrations that have exceeded our goals.
First, allow me to express a heartfelt “THANK YOU” to those who have supported this effort. Whether by prayer, kind words, donations or otherwise, we are truly lifted up by you. Thank you.
Second, allow me share with you some of the progress we’ve made thus far – even before the deadlines for golfer registration and sponsors. Currently, we have eleven (yes 11!) teams either registered or pledged. Currently, we have over $1,000 in pledged or received funds, giveaways and prizes from sponsors or donors. Several of you have talked to your co-workers and friends about this, and some of you have shared the news on social media, which is all more than we could ever ask of you. Thank you.
Frankly, the way that this event has blossomed is overwhelming. There isn’t a moment that goes by that Deb and I fail to be very grateful. This event is shaping up to be more than we had hoped for, and should allow us to make a very significant and positive impact on the lives of those we hold very dear – who care for those most vulnerable among us. So please accept our thanks. And please continue to pray and support this effort. We cannot wait to see what comes of it!
