One of my local, favorite restaurants, named Charlie's had a Fundraiser to raise money for the Children's foundation. Autumn is one of the waitress/ owners of the restaurant and has had this fundraiser for multiple years! We have been good friends for a long time but have been getting back in touch recently...life has taken us separate ways for a while! I was so happy to be able to go and show my support to just one of the many amazing things she does for the community!
The fundraiser works by everyone purchasing a ticket for dinner and then there is a silent auction. The auction is all donations from baked goods to spray tan gift cards! For dinner Autumn made Chicken cordon blue with salad, rice and bread and it was to die for! After dinner we all started bidding on these items. It became so fun to watch people go back and fourth at bidding wars. At the end I won a gift card to my FAVORITE place for a spray tan! (I love them so much but rarely spend the money to get them done, especially now since I am unemployed) Brandi won a 7 layer chocolate cake- which is pictured below! As you can tell by the picture, she was in AHHHH of this ENORMOUS cake!!! I just talked to Autumn today and got the amount that she raised............... almost $1,700!!!!!!!!!!! How AMAZING that our tiny town could raise that much money!!! That just shows me that we can do ANYTHING that we put our minds to!
Have a wonderful Thursday---- Almost Friday!
