Success at the Eating House!

March 26th, 2011 by Conor

Thursday night was a blast! We had an awesome turn out and a great time was had by all. A seemly endless amount of food was donated by the Valley Originals. The food was absolutely delicious and didn’t run out which is always great. Entertainment for the night was performed by Livin’ the Dream and Audio Kickstand. Both bands sounded awesome and provided a great atmosphere for the festivities to pop off. Tons of items were raffled off which only made everyone even happier!

Overall $4,500 was raised. Tuckerman Brewing company donated two kegs of beer so all proceeds from Tuckerman sales went to Danny. Cranmore donated the Eating house for the night and the Valley originals came up big with dinner. Both bands played for free as well. Thank you to everyone that helped make this event a huge success. Volunteers, businesses and attendees all contributed to a tremendously successful evening. It was a lot of fun and a great night of celebration. Danny was in the house for the whole night with a big smile on his face. It’s great to have him back.

Below you will find photos that Drew Phillips took at the event.

Flatbread Fun

March 11th, 2011 by Conor

Staci Blair and the rest of the Flatbread Pizza Company were nice enough to throw a fundraiser for Danny. They allowed and assisted the DITB crew (Which Staci is very much a leader in) to throw a 50/50 raffle and sell merchandise. Flatbread also donated $3.50 from all large pizza sales and $1 from all small pizza sales. On top of all that they were nice enough to do this during vacation week. The place was absolutely slammed for several hours. Tourists to the valley were intrigued by Dannys story and concerned for his recovery. For an hour or so many of them were surprised by the answer to the “So, how’s he doing question” when people pointed over to Danny who was energized enough to join us for a brief bit. Thanks again to Staci and the whole Flatbread crew for such a successful fundraiser! What a great company and group of people!

Shredding For DCT

March 11th, 2011 by Conor

Just about 3 weeks after it happened I am here to report that about 50 shredders turned out for the Shredding for DCT fundraiser that took place on February 19th. Between the merchandise sales and the donations the event raised just about $2,000. Everyone was in good spirits despite the blistery cold weather. Big thank you to April Deschenes for the poster design as well as Becca Deschenes and Jess Richitelli for hosting and coordinating the event. Also thank you to Cranmore mountain for allowing these amazing girls to put this event together. You are all awesome!

Time to catch up!

March 11th, 2011 by Conor

I have been back in North Conway, New Hampshire for the last couple weeks and have been overwhelmed with a combination of fundraising efforts, video editing, and continuing to unwind from January’s events. Today I am going to make an effort to get caught up on what has been happening on the fundraising front over the last month or so. There has been a TON of success in that time.
