Hey guys - We're back for our SECOND ANNUAL LAWN SUMMER NIGHTS! Last year, we set a goal to raise $10,000 and we raised over $21,000! What an INCREDIBLE accomplishment and I couldn't have done it without every single one of you.The feedback I received after last year's event was amazing. Everyone had such a great time and were already talking about 2025. The event will run about the same as last year (with a little fine tuning). We had 24 teams so that is our goal this year. Early bird registration will begin mid-April so keep an eye on that to guarantee a spot for your team, save some money and of course, free drink tickets for the whole team!
Fee (includes dinner, entry into the event and tournament):
$250 PER TEAM OF FOUR (EARLY BIRD PRICING)
$300 PER TEAM of FOUR (After Early Bird)
$25 Social Tickets
Transportation: I will be doing a poll at some point to gauge interest in getting a bus again.
Volunteers: If you volunteered last year and were interested in doing so again, please let me know.
Sponsors: I was blown away by the community support last year, we had an incredibly amount of prizes all donated by our amazing local businesses. If you are interested in donating again, please let me know.
The event will be similar to jack and jill vibes. We will have a raffle or silent auction, 50/50, additional games (for fun, they'll be free to play), music and just all around good times.
This event is sponsored by Steamwhistle/Beaus and Cottage Springs!
For those of you who don't know our story:
I had a normal pregnancy but near the end, my OB kept sending me for extra ultrasounds but didn't really tell me why. When Brayden was born on June 25, 2022, he was absolutely perfect, the most handsome little man. After a couple days, my mommy instincts knew something was a little different about him. On July 5th, I got a call from Sick Kids Hospital with the results of Brayden's 24 hour bloodwork. They told me that my 10 day old baby had Cystic Fibrosis. I had absolutely no idea what that meant and obviously turned to Google to do some research until our first appointment with the CF Team. For the first couple months, we were at Sick Kids almost every week to ensure he was thriving, gaining weight and overall healthy. Immediately Brayden was put on digestive enzymes to allow him to absorb fats from his foods. We were taught how to do percussion therapy on his little body immediately as well, to knock the mucus off of his lungs. This is something we still do every day :). At 18 months, Brayden was one of only 14 babies in the world to trial Trikafta for his age group, 18-24 months (Trikafta is a miracle drug for CF'ers that tricks the genetic mutation into functioning properly). In the fall of 2023, Trikafta was approved in Canada for toddlers as young as 24 months and in the summer of 2024, Brayden was officially on it! There isn't a cure for CF and some people with CF aren't even able to take Trikafta because it's ineffective for their mutations. This is why we are raising money, to continue to do research and make Trikafta compatible and accessible for everyone with CF and hopefully one day find a cure.
