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
