My friend Cary and I signed on to be co-chairs of the Noah's Children Gala Auction Committee. That's a long title for an even bigger job: we are responsible for securing over $45,000 in donations to be auctioned off in a gala with over 400 attendees this February 16th.
Noah's Children is Central Virginia's only pediatric hospice and palliative care program. If you are the parent or loved one of terminally ill child, Noah's Children is your invaluable resource for services and support during what is likely the worst time of your life. To say that Noah's Children serves a very worthy cause is an understatement and with that in mind, so began my journey with the Noah's.
Fast forward 6 months, and Cary and I are "in the weeds" of the final stages of our auction planning. To date, we have secured over $50,000 worth of items with the help of our auction team. We have amazing trips and experiences, beautiful works of art, jewelry, wine, and so much more ready to be a part of what is sure to be a fabulous night! Pair that with our top-notch venue (the historic Jefferson Hotel), a rockin' band, and some delicious food and drink, and the gala is looking to be a great success!
I do not ever post on topics outside of our immediate family on this blog, but I felt this was one occasion that deserves to be featured with the hopes of spreading the word about the wonderful work that Noah's Children does. If you are in town and interested in attending our gala, please see the invitation and link below about purchasing tickets. If you are an out-of-towner and would like to make a donation to Noah's Children, the link for that is below as well.
In any case, say a prayer for or send a bottle of wine to Cary and me. We are in the midst of a whirlwind of paperwork, emails, phone calls, and stress!! ;-)
