I was approached a couple of months ago by the Frozen Ropes Grizzlies coach. He had expressed concerns and excitement about his team getting an invite to Coopers Town. This is an amazing week that the boys get to spend competing and learning about baseball. With the economy taking a turn, times are tough for a few of the families. He did not want to exclude any of the kids so he was looking for donations. I know that we could have donated the money to the team as a company and call it good, but I was raised by a man that told me that you do not appreciate it unless you earn it! I definitely learned how to work for what I got. I decided to contact Adam the owner of Madeline's Restaurant and put together a fund raiser for the boys. Adam is donating half of the restaurant to us to let the boys earn their way! They are selling the tickets, seating, serving and clearing the tables. The cost is 100.00 per couple. This includes a full meal with dessert! We picked a night close to Valentines for those of us that are too busy or want to watch the Daytona race instead of going out on the actual holiday! This is a great way to give back to our community! We give the opportunity to these young men to pursue their dreams while enjoying a night out with friends, spouses, and family! We will have a silent auction the items range from vacation and ski getaways to permanent cosmetics and hair cuts, massages for 6 months and a free month of personal training at Lifetime Fitness. We have a plumbing company that is donating 50% off a bathroom remodel and so much more! Please join us for an amazing night! Don't forget... it takes a village! Thanks for your support!
