I think there are 3000 people waking up this morning, like me, trying to find the words to describe the sights and sounds of yesterday and their impact on each of us. For me, it’s IMPOSSIBLE!
No words can touch yesterday!
We had need of 3 generators yesterday. But we had a fourth, YOU!
YOUR presence yesterday was the most powerful Generator of all!
Your presence sparked support, human kindness, courage, love and so much belief in the FIGHT against this barbaric disease!
This event can NOT happen without a COMMUNITY UNITED in the FIGHT.
So many people make this happen!
Our AMAZING volunteers,
My Incredibly DEDICATED board members and officers!
My media director, Trudy Ginsburg, for always being there to “calm the waters” and get our mission out there!
Dawn Supranovich and her “let’s get it done” crew!
All of our VERY Generous sponsors (we had all of “veteran” sponsors back and 5 new ones)!!!
The donations of food (120 pizzas from Rose’s Family Restaurant, 60 ponds of bananas from Stop and Shop, over 80 gallons of Starbucks coffee and Hot chocolate and 1600 cake pops. Lord only knows how many cups of that incredible ice cream from Ice Cream Emergency?
How about the Original Greek yogurt from Stani Dairy… now that was delicious… we need to get that yogurt carried by our local grocery stores!!!
Bakery on Main donated over 1200 bags of cranberry maple flavored granola!!!
Dragonflies Flora for designing and donating 175 corsages for our breast cancer survivors!
Caspari for donating lovely gifts for our breast cancer survivors!
The police department was there in full force to guarantee our safety!
Every department in our town was in full force leading up to yesterday. I can not say enough about our Public Works department … you all rock!
Our honor guard and Nate singing the national anthem Wow!!!
Our very talented, very professional photographers will have done all to capture yesterday… looking forward to seeing it ALL.
And how about OUR neighborhood that came out to support you!!!! Over the top!
The list is truly endless but 2 men we could not do PINK without … Nick Vartko and my incredible husband, Bruce Deming!!❤️
I know there are many I am missing, but please know without your help and presence there, yesterday doesn’t happen!
With arms wrapped around all of you and a heart full of gratitude,
My Thanks to ALL!❤️❤️❤️
