2nd Annual Ref4Rett Event a Huge Success!!!

On February 2, 2014 By ref4rettIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Here we are 24 hours later and we are still revelling in an amazing night, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Seeing friends, old and new, supporting us in this cause so very near and dear to our hearts. From the live music, to Elle’s puck drop, to the Shoot to Win a Car and the good hockey…it was truly a great night!

We want to thank everyone who braved the weather to make it out to the event. Thank you to our volunteers, who worked tirelessly to set up the hall and throughout the event to make it run so incredibly smoothly. Thank you to our sponsors and all of those who donated items to the Silent Auction – there was an amazing selection of items!!!

Thank you to Cindy Hefferan, our decorator, for making the hall look spectacular; to Kara Wilson, our photographer, for capturing all of those special moments; to Joshua David Peidl, a star in the making, for the great music; to Steve McKenna for coming out to sign autographs at a last minutes notice; to Ed McMahon, our MC, who was also able to help us out last minute.

A very thank you to Todd Wood and the Paris Mounties organization for all of their on-going support and embracing Ref4Rett, our family and Rett Syndrome as a whole in efforts to continue to raise awareness and funds in hopes of one day finding a cure.

The support that we have continued to receive from this community is completely overwhelming and reminds us daily of how blessed we are.

Pictures and further details to be posted in the coming days…..

Thanks again to all!
