Thank You

Thank you all for your support in our efforts to "make miracles for Tegan". What a great blessing and opportunity to be involved in such a great cause. I hope their family's experiences make us all more mindful of those who are most important in our lives and help us look for more opportunities to help others. I know it is making me a better mother and person. We will be hosting an online auction of items left from our craft fair. I will post details as they come. We will still be taking orders for diaper cakes, either comment, email or call. Contact information is listed on the right of the page. We are planning a 5 K for the spring, so get training! Again, details will be posted as they come. Please let me know of any other fundraisers happening in behalf of the Salce family, it is so exciting to hear of your successes! Thank you all again for your support and you'll hear from us soon!

A more complete description of the evening!


On Thursday, Erin and I loaded up our cars with prizes and went to the Red Lion to start setting up. My friend Dani and Ally (tegan's aunt) came and we got everything done fairly quickly. Dani and Erin put centerpieces together, fishbowls with goldfish from McKee's and we all worked hard to get the auction items out on their tables. Jodi and Carin came and we were able to fill three tables with items for the silent auction and two tables plus for the live auction. We borrowed a projector from my brother in law and after fiddling for a while Monica Dani and I had one of the guys from the band help us figure out how to use it. We got it up and running with an awesome slideshow (if I do say so myself!) that I'd put together that morning. Roger came and started getting his things set up and let me tell you, he put on quite the show!! He was amazing! He's from Prime Time Auctions, so if you want a good time, go to an auction, it's totally worth it!




I rushed home and got ready in under 15 minutes and then rushed back to the hotel. By that time we had more helpers and we were really able to get things going. Ang's parents made it and so did Eric and his parents, that was so neat. People started to come and pretty soon the room was filled. We had live music from the band, The Brothers of Jared. They are a local cover band and they were pretty amazing! I loved it! The silent auction went really well and then on to the main event. The bike ended up going for over $700! It was awesome! Dennis won the night at the Red Lion jacuzzi suite w/dinner and a movie, can't wait to use it! I was bummed I didn't win more from the silent auction, there were a lot of cool things!


Brenda Baumgartner and Todd Blackinton from channel 6 were there, not to report, but to participate. Very cool. I'm pretty sure a good time was had by all. Shelby gave a great little intro from the family and lots of neat little things happened throughout the evening. We played a game called 50/50 where someone wins half the cash raised and we kept the other half and the lady gave her half back to Tegan. Also, I know that the crowd we had weren't a lot of people with a lot to spend, a lot of young couples were there and we raised an amazing amount for the crowd we had, I was so impressed. At the check in table, Dani and Shelby told me two little boys ran up and dropped in $20 each and their mom came along and pointed at her five year old and told them he's her survivor. We need to be so greatful for each day we have with our kids, they are so precious and Tegan has helped me appreciate mine so much more.

Be sure to watch for the Craft fair at the Mystique Nov. 7th!!

Success

Hi everyone. Thank you all so much for your prayers, your donations, your support and thoughtfulness. The auction was amazing! The room was full and people were all so generous! We had a blast, it was worth every ounce of effort! I'm so greatful to have been able to help this great family and we plan on continuing with fundraising for Tegan and her family. Saturday, November 7th is our next event. We will be having a craft fair--Craft for a Cause--from 9am to 1pm at the Mystique theater in Chubbuck. We have over 20 vendors and space is limited. We are taking donations and will be selling anything that is donated at 100% of the proceeds going to Tegan. Hope to see you all there!

TONIGHT!!

Come out to the Pocatello Red Lion tonight (thursday) for our auction from Prime Time Auctions and all our great sponsors! Thank you everyone who has helped make this possible! Let's make a miracle for Tegan!

FLYER

We would love for you to download our flyer (click on flyer) and email it to friends, print them out and take them around your neighborhoods, to co-workers, etc.--anything you can do to help us advertise our auction will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your support and please advertise for us on your own blogs/websites.

We need your help

I don't think any of us realize the reality and depth to Tegan's situation. The type of cancer she has is so rare and so aggressive. She is on the highest dose of Chemo and on track for the highest dose of radiation that they can do.

Please, please pray for this family pray for Tegan, pray for their emotional well-being. I feel like we've done so much and we are still so helpless. God does perform miracles. I believe that with all my heart, but I also believe we are his instruments. Thank you for all of your support, thank you for your prayers. I just really wanted you all to know the severity and reality of this situation.

Please add links to your blogs for our websites, please send emails to your friends, family, coworkers, etc to raise awareness of this sweet little girl. The response we've had so far has been phenomenal, but there's always something more we can do. Please help us make our miracle and let God do the rest. Pray. Pray hard. Thank you for your support.
