The magnitude in which kids suffer from Arthritis is sadly overlooked, and every little bit of awareness and fundraising creates a huge impact.  You each made this event a success!   It was easy to donate this event right back to the Arthritis Foundation and to award all camera time to Juvenile Arthritis awareness.  Nothing could be more rewarding than the compelling and well-spoken broadcast messages from Joel, Lauren, Heather, and of course, Vince!   

    

Big thanks to every silent auction bidder/winner, fundraiser supporter, everyone who took time from his/her busy schedule to attend, everyone who tried, and everyone who expressed awareness, support and appreciation.   For special assistance - thank you to the HRS and Arthritis Foundation teams and to Amy Cooley and Gary Jablonski!  Constant smiles and laughter from our friends in attendance were priceless and not to be forgotten! 

 

While HRS was of course our presenting sponsor, for additional silent auction and food item donations we send enormous gratitude to our friends at  Layton State Bank,  Silver Spur Texas Smokehouse BBQ,  Grasch Foods,  MITEC Inc,  Velvac,  West Bend Mutual,  The Union House,  Layton Fruit Market, Pitch's/Miss Katie's Diner,  Outback Steak House and Victor's on Van Buren.   The kids from Camp MASH (Make Arthritis Stop Hurting!) are still smiling from the luxury stretch limo rides donated by Benjamin Limousine, who also contributed transportation.
