For Toni...

Last night was the second annual benefit for the Toni & Trish House, and it went GREAT!!! There were more people there last night than there were last year, which is great, because it shows we're reaching the community and people are hearing about the organization, and that they support the cause.

*side note* For those of you who don't know, the Toni & Trish House is a hospice home for the care of the terminally ill. The Toni part is in memory of my husband's late mother (she passed away tragically in a car accident 12 years ago) (Toni was short for Antoinette). She was an RN who dedicated her time to hospice care. After her death, my husband's family tried to get a hospice house started in her name, but weren't able to get enough support. Ten years later, a man who lost his mother (Trish) to cancer also had a vision to open a hospice home in memory of his mother. The two families collaborated their thoughts and dreams, and came up with the Toni & Trish House. The house opened it's doors in February 2008.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the event last night because we were so busy with the silent auction, raffle tickets, and the occasional polka dance.
