The check!
I am still in awe of the generosity and pure goodwill of near strangers. I held a fundraiser last night at the Paint Bar of Newton. I painted for the first time with the Paint Bar about a month ago. We had a delightful conversation about my ride and the deal was made. They agreed to host, but they did more than just host and deliver hours of fun - they donated above and beyond! In attendance for my group, Alana Ritter, Kristen Williams, Morgan Sawin, Karen Henry, Melissa Branzurg, and Meg Bannon... well how would I raise $500 with 6 people representated from my group?
Well, the answer is the owners of the Paint Bar are extremely generous and like to help out in any way they can. They donated 30% of their profits from the night to Bottom Line. I spoke with Jill and Jackie, the Mom and Daughter combination and they followed the same sentiments as myself. The college process was a smooth road in comparison to others, so I will do what I can to provide a resource for those that are at a clear disadvantage.
The painting, fundraising, and hours on the bike are all for a great cause and I'm hugely humbled to be able to have such good friends and be apart of a great community that supports me through this great fundraising adventures.
Signing off ... off to visit Lance Armstrong, Evan Doyle, Jen Nailos, and Jim Athans in Texas! I brought my bike gloves to Lance to sign! ha!
