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
