Valentine World Record

This is cool. I know Gretchen and Larry Witt from the Band of Parents and they are great people who are relentlessly attacking this cause. Gretchen was the force behind the cookie drive which raised over $300k for the BOP.

Super Bowl Sunday

We are getting ready to head over to a Super Bowl party but wanted to give a quick update about the upcoming NED celebration and fundraiser.

• We are nearly sold out! Only about 10 spots left so let me know ASAP if you want to attend. I guarantee a great time just like Joe Namath guaranteed that Super Bowl victory.
• The silent auction items are fantastic. I will be posting them here and sending an email out about a week before the event.
• Robyn Raphael will be a guest speaker. She is outstanding and is a great advocate for childhood cancer causes. She lost her son to Neuroblastoma nearly 10 years ago and has dedicated her life to the cause. Her webiste is http://www.childcancer.org/

Thanks to everyone who will be attending the celebration and to all the people who are helping make it a reality.
