I mentioned the fundraiser a few posts ago and now we have a date! Emily’s Wish Fundraiser will be held at Mint Bistro in Manchester on April 10th. Two very good friends of mine, Dave and Alyssa, are putting together this fundraiser in support of myself and Dave’s brother, Brian. Brian is the person that I write about on my Miles for Miracles Profile page. Him and his wife, Katie, lost their baby, Emily, to a rare brain tumor about a year ago. She was a patient of both Children’s Hospital and Dana-Farber, the two charities that Brian and I are running the marathon for.
Dave works at Mint Bistro and thought it would be great place to have a fundraiser to support the two runners and more importantly the two charities. I sent an ‘event invitation’ on Facebook, which I’m sure many of you received. For those of you that actually read this blog and don’t have Facebook, I will include some of the details here.
The fundraiser, like I mentioned above, will take place on Saturday, April 10th at Mint Bistro, which is located right on Elm Street in Manchester. There will be a cocktail hour starting at 4 and the first round of dinner reservations start at 5. If you would like to have a sit-down dinner, please call the restaurant as soon as possible and make reservations (603-625-MINT)! Please mention that you are attending the fundraiser (the restaurant is open to the public that night as well). If you are not interested in having dinner, please feel free to stop by and have a drink or two. I will be there all night. There will be many great auction items and raffles. All proceeds will be donated to both Children’s Hospital and Dana-Farber. A portion of the restaurant’s proceeds will also be donated to the respected charities.
Hope to see everyone there!
