So on April 9th one of my best friends, Somer, and her boyfriend Po and their roommates threw our first annual Casino Night! There was a poker tournament, raffle prizes, food and fun. It was a BLAST! They did a fantastic job and they raised over $500 for Team Esella!
On April 15th, my good friend Erin hosted a Premier Designs Jewelery Party, where 20% of the proceeds will go to Team Esella. That raised over $200 for Team Esella! It was a fun relaxing "girls night" with good wine and great company and a little shopping that benefited a great cause.
Then on April 16th, Esella hosted the first annual Ellie Belly Lemonade Stand! Justin and I made a "stand", my cousin Debra came with home made lemon cookies and pie, and our parents helped us set up and man the stand. Our neighbors came out in full force and we raised over $700! That combined with online donations from our neighbors and our neighborhood collectively raised $1000 for our team!
So yes in 2 weeks we raised around $1500 between our three little events. I would say they were all a SUCCESS!!!!
As of today we have raised $14,775!!!
Life has been busy but good. :)
