Good afternoon!
Of course you know that the Gala is in just a few hours, and we’re very excited for that, but…
I wanted to send out a reminder that the Online Auction is open for the next week. There are a number of awesome items on the site, including original works of art by Madeline and by Mark Rose, limited edition handmade clothing, signed books and DVDs, and lots more.
Be sure and stop by the site! I’m sure there are one or two things that you will be interested in…
Hey Everyone,
We just got some news from Becky about the fund-raising totals for the 5K.
You raised over $9,000 for the foundation today.
We are overwhelmed by your hard work and generosity.
Thank you.
A big congratulations goes out to:
kris stutz was our top pledge collector for the 5k, with $615
And, for our drawing for everyone who raised $100 more – danielle p. won 2 tickets to the gala tomorrow night.
Congrats! Thanks for all that you have done to make the foundation successful!
Matt was on Kare11′s EXTRA segment yesterday. From their site:
Over the last 18 months Matt’s blog has become, literally, famous. More than a million people hang on his every word. A book is now in the works.
The life he leads with Maddy has become so inspiring a foundation was formed to help people just like them.
The Liz Logelin Foundation works to grant money to men and women who lose their partner to death, and are left to parent alone.
The video segment up on their website, and it airs again this evening at 6:30pm.
A photo pool on flickr has been created for everyone to post their photos from 5k events around the world. Please visit The Liz Logelin Foundation 5K – 2009 and upload your best pics.
This weekend is off to a wonderful start! Hundreds of people came out to support the foundation this morning for the “stroll through the garden of awesome”.
We’re looking forward to the Gala tomorrow evening. If you haven’t purchased a ticket, but would still like to come, please do! There will be tickets available at the door. For more information, please visit the Gala page.
Thanks again to everyone for all of your support.
Matt was interviewed on Twin Cities Live this afternoon. He talks a bit about his blog, the foundation, and there is a special appearance by Maddy!
The video is now up. I hope you’ll take a look.
Hey Everyone,
Rachel was on WCCO yesterday to talk a little about the foundation and our upcoming events. Check it out!
Hey Everyone!
The gala is almost here! I’m excited to announce the availability of the online auction site. The page will go live on Sunday morning, so bid early, bid often, it’s for a great cause and we have a number of awesome items up there.
