2024 Update and Thank You
Fundraiser Our first annual fundraiser was an inspiring success. It was a time for us to spend with old and new friends all sharing hope and encouragement for what the Foster House can be. There was great food, an inspiring message from a wonderful speaker and awesome music that set the perfect tone for the entire evening. We had fifty four guests in attendance and after expenses we collected a little over $4,500 in donations. I (Tony) personally cannot express how excited and encouraged I was by the outpouring of support. Below is a list of some of the folks we want to express out thanks to, This list is not exhaustive because I know I have overlooked someone.
- God, for his eternal grace and blessings in this present time
- Madison Church of Christ, for allowing us the use of their building, tables and tablecloths
- The Smoking Box, for an amazing meal
- City Vibes, for a musical performance that was perfect for the evening
- Deanna Ivey, for her tireless work to make everything beautiful
- Christina Bradford, for the ballon decorations
- Pete Wingard, for photography
- Pam Hinson, for hours of help with food
