Benefit Updates

Benefit Updates:

As I posted a few weeks ago, my cousins and sisters are hosting a benefit for Elizabeth.  Everyone in our family are completely overwhelmed with the amount of support that has been shown for the benefit from people offering to donate, help that day, who are planning to attend, etc. Jason and I are not involved in planning the benefit, obviously, it was quite the surprise to us when the girls told us about it.  However, I do have a lot of people who have been contacting me asking how they can help.  So, I decided to post updates on the blog about the benefit and who to contact if you have questions or want to help.  

Recently, a friend of one of the girls offered to host a way to help out with the benefit through her photography business.  The contact information and details are on her flyer.  Thank you to Ashley Binus for offering to help out with the benefit.  We really appreciate it! 

A friend of Jason's cousin is offering to help Elizabeth  through her Premier Jewelry company.  We appreciate Terri offering to help, as well! Here is her flyer if you are interested in ordering. 

There is also a Go Fund Me site that has been set up by a colleague of Jason and I.  We are so grateful for Megan setting up the account.  It can be found at:  http://www.gofundme.com/kkrlog  

The girls in charge have set up a volunteer website to help with the benefit.  If you'd like to sign up to donate items for the benefit or to help on the day of the benefit, you can do so on this website.  If you would like help with signing up, you can contact one of the girls.  I'll post their contact info below.  The link to the volunteer website is:  http://www.volunteerspot.com/login/entry/9978464280103. 

The benefit will be held on Sunday, March 22nd from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Chicora.  There will be a spaghetti dinner with take-out available and all ages are welcome. Tickets will be $10 for adults and $5 for kids.  You can purchase tickets at the door. There will also be a Basket Raffle and Silent Auction Raffle Items.  Some bigger items that will be there will be a handmade rocking horse, Pens Tickets, and an IPad Mini.  There have been so many wonderful baskets and other items donated for the benefit.  Other details are on the benefit event flyer.  We will be there that day so that people can meet Elizabeth, and also so that we can thank people for their support.

You can also let my parents (Jeff and Amy Bly) or any family member know if you're interested in helping, and they can fill you in on details.

We also received word that the Butler Lions Club is taking an active role in helping the girls with the benefit.  We truly appreciate their support of Elizabeth and the help that they have extended toward the benefit.  If you know a Butler Lions Member, please tell them thank you.  I cannot thank them enough for their support.

Seriously, thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who reads this blog, who has offered to or already signed up to help with the benefit, and who support us in various other ways.  The prayers, donations, support are appreciated more than you can imagine.  We love you all!
