Thank You, Family & Friends!
A big thank you to all of you who helped make Charlee's 25th Birthday such a memorable one. When we took the task of trying to raise $25,000 in 25 hours in celebration of our 25th Anniversary, we knew it would be a hard goal to reach. Nevertheless, the out-pouring of support and Birthday wishes (whether in monetary or in words) were uplifting and inspring. Even though we did not reach our $25,000 mark, we still feel this campaign was a huge success! If you missed our 25th Birthday campaign please note we love getting belated birthday wishes so please DONATE TODAY! It's never too late to make a difference in a child's life!
