The Buzz Continues

While everyone awaits the nightly update, I thought I'd chime in with some news related to the various fundraisers that are happening in support of the MacCallister Family.

First, the final totals are still coming in from last weekend's Spaghetti Feed, but we have crossed the $20,000.00 mark!  Isn't that CRAZY?!?!   Including the donations made by individuals through this blog, close to $25,000.00 has been given in total.  

The support for this family is astounding.   

And the support is very much needed.

Dennis and Katie are working hard this week on a lot of practical details--and frankly, most of them cost.   Because of this, the Fundraising Gang is continuing on with many more events and fundraisers, and if you'd like to be involved or have goods or services that you would like to donate, please contact me through this blog and I will point you to the right people.

Coming up next is a Benefit Concert for Jerry MacCallister at the Brookdale Lodge, featuring several local bands.....details will be posted here as soon as we have them!  The concert is set for February 21, so mark your calendar now if you like your music loud and rockin.

Until later,
Marci

Wow - that is outstanding!!!!

I don't know quite the right way to say this, but I am so inspired by several things here. The love, strength and courage of the MacCallister family is inspiring.

It's also inspiring and a blessing to see the outpouring of love and generosity that this community shows. There are so many people in the world who will never know what it's like to be a part of a community like this. How blessed we are!!!

Jerry - We're praying for you every day. It is so exciting to read about your progress - it seems like there's always a new movement and a new sensation that you're able to experience. Keep working hard and celebrate each piece of progress!
