Unofficial World Record Set!

Friday was a big success, I set an unofficial Guinness World Record by sinking 12 backwards center court basketball shots in 10 minutes, but even better, the donations to help put Natalie through College have now Reached $4000, which is an amazing start.


Friday was such a great night, close to 100 people made it out watch and one of those people had no idea she was coming to this event, and that was Natalie. It was an amazing opportunity for everyone to final meet this amazing woman and even more special was the fact that the secret about this fundraiser was revealed to her. Natalie was slightly overwhelmed as you might expect, but her joy and surprise was very evident. She is so thankful that so many people would take the time to come out and support her and what she wants to do in her life.


We have not reached our goal but that is because we are just getting started, the next step will be huge and that is getting her story out to larger media outlets and this will take time and effort, but in the end it will be worth every ounce of energy. Thanks to all have have supported our effort to make a difference in the life of this family and we look forward to the many more people who will come forward in the coming months and say they too want to be part of this.
