Non-profit status update

2010-02-24T20:35:00.001-08:00

So... we're still waiting on the IRS to approve the non-profit status of the Wee Dream Foundation. Huge apologies to anyone and everyone who is patiently awaiting the number for taxes, but there's not a lot we can do. We had a small snafu we're trying to iron out with them - but in the meantime, it's a waiting game.

We will post here and on Facebook when it's resolved. Thank you for your patience - we hope to have this in hand soon!!

A wonderful day!

2009-11-17T19:00:00.000-08:00

Our golf tournament/fundraiser was everything we wanted it to be - and so, so much more! The rain passed us by and we had gorgeous blue Texas skies (and a little chill, but our golfers didn't seem to mind). We raised $23,000 (!) that day alone, bringing our total to more than $60,000! For those of you keeping score, that's a whole $40,000 OVER our initial goal. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

Thank you, thank you to everyone who supported this effort with love, prayer, time, donations, etc. etc. etc... it wouldn't have come off without you. To everyone who passed along the email, blog address, and info on the fundraiser - THAT'S how we got to where we did. In 46 days to raise this much money - I think it's pretty remarkable. Thank you for spreading the word so quickly - you guys are superstars!

To the Luphers - thank you for letting us be a part of your family for the day - you are an incredible group of people and you have touched our hearts forever.

We will post photos and final proceed numbers when we have them - stay tuned! :)

Golfing update (possible rain)

2009-11-14T13:05:00.000-08:00

The advantage of being before the sun on a Saturday morning is that I caught the Channel 2 story again at 6:00am! How they run it all weekend!

Right now there is a 50% chance of rain for Monday. Please check in here and/or our Facebook page to see if there are any changes... we're hoping and praying for beautiful Texas weather, but you know how these storms are.

Stay tuned.

Hitting the news!

Full for golfing

2009-11-11T20:58:00.000-08:00

Well, well, well... nice job everyone! We now have 143 golfers and have been told by the club that they won't be able to add any more at this time. If you want to be involved, we're still taking donations for the Luphers - and will do so even after the event. A HUGE thank you to everyone for their love and support... we never, ever thought we'd get this many!

Stay tuned for more details on the tournament, dinner, raffle, silent auction, etc. etc. We will post all winners and final total for proceeds here after we get a chance to breathe Tuesday! :)

AMAZED!

2009-11-06T13:43:00.000-08:00

We said our goal was to raise $20,000 to split between the two Lupher families. Wow... was I off! Because of the INCREDIBLE support from everyone, we are just under $25,000! I moved the goal to $30,000... I have a pretty good feeling that we're going to blow even THAT out of the water!

Keep it up, and thank you!!!

Not too shabby! :)

2009-10-30T08:35:00.000-07:00

I decided to post a "new and improved" bottle tracker today so you could see how much it has "filled" from last time! SO EXCITING!!

Thanks to everyone for their support - we are well on our way to the goal!

$741 in donations was raised tonight at the Happy Hour & Benefit sponsored by the Strategic Alliance Networking Group (SANG)!! So amazing!! A HUGE THANK YOU to SANG and everyone who came out for this great event. We'll post a new "bottle tracker" on Friday so you can see how we're doing toward our $20K goal (hint: not too shabby!) :)

Thanks again everyone - the outpouring of generosity has been incredible!

We have bracelets!

2009-10-24T13:33:00.000-07:00

These sweet bracelets (eco-friendly, recycled silicone even!) are light blue on the outside and pink on the inside (for our babies!) and say "for witt and elle". Send $5.00 cash or check (and your mailing address) to Angie will get you yours today (or tomorrow via snail mail)! ALL PROCEEDS will go toward our friends, the Luphers.
