Our fundraising events this past Saturday were a success! Early Saturday morning, we had an aid station at the Fargo Mini-Marathon. It was a little chilly, as the water we were pouring in the cups was freezing, but we had a great time supporting the runners. Later that morning, we set up our Chili Feed at tailgating. We had a lot of fun interacting with fellow tailgaters and received an enormous amount of support and encouragement. The chili proved to be a hit on the chilly morning, as we ran out of the five crockpots that were brought.
We have also completed other successful fundraising events earlier this fall. We had an aid station and provided traffic control during the Go Far Woman Run. We bussed tables at Pizza Ranch. Pickerel Lake Lodge very kindly had a charity event night for our group which had a guest chef who cooked several different Haitian dishes. We all are very pleased with the success of our fundraising events. In total, we have raised approximately $1800!! The money raised through these events will go towards medications and supplies we will use during our time in Haiti. We are beyond thankful and appreciative for everyone’s support through this journey so far. We are officially under 14 days before we leave for Haiti. We look forward to sharing our adventures with you!! --Paige & Rachel

October 20th is our last big day of fundraising before we head down to HAITI!
Early Saturday morning we will be assisting with the Fargo Mini-Marathon. After the marathon, we are setting up a Chili Feed at tailgating before the NDSU football game. The chili feed is a free will donation and will be ready around 10:00 am! We will have LOTS of chili so please come hungry and enjoy the various recipes available. Signage will be set up to help you find our booth! Other fundraising we have done includes assisting with another marathon in Fargo in early August and busing tables at Pizza Ranch! We also want to send a special 'thank you' to everyone who has supported us as we have prepared for Haiti. We are so fortunate to have such great community support. Share with us your favorite chili recipe or tailgating treat in the comments! We hope to see you Saturday!! --Anne & Morgan |
