Do we look dy-no-mite or what.
A few weekends ago this fox and I attended a 70's themed fundraiser that was so hip.
The fundraiser was held to support the Rainbow Connection, a foundation that makes dreams come true for Michigan kids with a life threatening illness. The evening was a celebration of the young life of a beautiful girl named Maddie, who died at the age of 11 from cancer.
Her family hosted a far out evening of bowling, raffles, silent auction items, food and music. The night was so gravy with everyone in their tight threads. Joe was stoked all night because he won a silent auction item that he had his eye on as soon as he found it, a signed rookie card and photograph of Justin Verlander. Sadly I don't know a thing about football and apparently baseball because every time someone asked which auction item Joe was so excited about, I proceeded to tell them it was a picture of Brian Urlacher...who I'm sure you all know plays for the Bears not the Tigers. How that name even popped into my head is beyond me. And since everyone is so nice and didn't correct me, I thought that's what Joe won all evening until we were on our way home and Joe was talking about where he would hang this dope item.
He also won a stellar dartboard and some c'izz'ash after bowling a lucky strike in front of everyone. Talk about success under pressure. At one point during the night the emcee called Joe's name, had him walk up to the center lane and told him to bowl. Joe did and he scored a strike, BAM!!!
The entire evening was awesome, a celebration for Maddie and a huge turnout and support for the Rainbow Connection. As sentimental as I am, my favorite part was when the entire bowling alley of people sang Happy Birthday to Maddie girl. I imagine that moment was extra special for her parents as well.
Do me a solid. Check out the Rainbow Connection and give back too.
Catch you on the flip-side.
