Benefit Details
Well, I had a meeting the other evening with some of the other people who are leading the charge on the up coming benefit. We have solidified the plans and have sent out the pre-contact letters to the local businesses we will be approaching for donations.
Here are the details:
What: Tailgate and Auction benefit
Why: To raise money to help cover the medical expenses we incurred during Amy’s battle with Pancreatic Cancer.
When: Sunday, February 4th from 12 noon until 4:00pm
Where: Baraboo Arts Banquet Hall (323 Water Street)
Who: YOU! Everyone’s invited! PLEASE help out by spreading the word! When we did the Pizza Hut fund raiser, we truly relied on you, our friends and family, to get the word out and you rose to the occasion and we ROCKED Pizza Hut! Could you PLEASE help out again by spreading the word and attending? I guarantee everyone, young and old alike will have a good time!
* We will be selling great ‘tailgating’ food like: brats, hotdogs, pizza, chips, water, soda and baked goods.
* We hope to have a couple big screen T.V’s on hand so no one has to miss the pre-game show!
* For the kids, we are arranging to have face painting, a button making machine, bingo and some carnival games for them to have fun!
* And last, but certainly NOT least, we will be having a combined live and silent auction! For the top donation items, we will have a live auctioneer stirring up the excitement and getting everyone involved for the cause. The rest of the items will be displayed on tables with the bid forms in front.
* To give you JUST a peek into the types of items we are hoping to have for the auction, here are just a few of the businesses that we’ve approached: The Green Bay Packers, The UW Badgers, many of the major resorts, restaurants and entertainment attractions our area has to offer! (more specific info on what will be up for bid will be related once a final list is determined.)
We have specifically set an earlier time so everyone can get home in plenty of time to watch the Super Bowl.
PLEASE mark your calendars!
PLEASE spread the word!
But most importantly…PLEASE plan to attend!
For the love of Amy - V

how much do you need to raise to take care of the medical expenses?
Having an amount to shoot for usually helps .... somebody could be tallying the amount as the day goes on, and the auctioneer can get people 'revved up' only..$ to go to get to our goal to help vince and the kids......just a thought.
good luck! we'll support you by bidding!

Vince,
Let's make sure I understand all the Feb 4 activities....
-Attend a pre-Super Bowl party with a lot of friends and family
-Eat great food
-Get to bid on some awesome stuff
...while helping out the Howard clan financially.
That's a nobrainer!!! We're going to travel 8 hours roundtrip to make sure we get there before all the greedy people get all the goodies!!!
We can't wait...........
