March for Babies is coming up SO quickly!! I feel like time got away with me this year and I'm so far behind in getting myself together for it. Our team is dwindling as people move onto other things, but I'm still just SO thankful for all of the people who donate in memory of my baby boys. We are so very lucky.
And to top it off, we are this year's Ambassador Family for our local walk!! How cool is that?? We are so honored that our three boys stories can be shared to help bring awareness to prematurity and infant mortality. I hope that it can bring comfort to others and that it will help increase awareness that though the March of Dimes has done so much, there's still so much more to be done to ensure that babies born too soon (but past the "miscarriage" stage) make it home.
We are almost halfway to our personal goal. I don't think our team will make our $5000 team goal, but that's okay. I'm hoping that I personally can make my goal and hit the new Circle of Champions ($1000 fundraising) for this year. We are inching closer and have a couple of upcoming events going on!
I'm having a Scentsy party on my site (http://melliott.scentsy/us) and it's a Mystery Hostess party. Anyone who orders is entered into the drawing for the hostess rewards! And 25% of any of the sales will go to our March for Babies Team!
On top of that, I have a friend doing a Jamberry party where 15% of any of the sales go to our team! I am so psyched and hoping these two parties will help us meet our goal!
We were honored to be the Ambassador Family for the 2014 Signature Chef's Auction, too, and though I broke down reading my speech, I did it. I used my speech to create our blog entry for the March of Dimes blog here: http://mfbfamilyteamsne.blogspot.com/2015/04/upper-valley-nh-ambassador-family.html?m=1
I'm just so excited to share this event with Ben this year...it will continue to be our family tradition, no matter how much money we raise. For us it is just as much about awareness as raising money!
