Dear Julie & Debi,
Thank you so much for allowing me to participate in one of the most exciting
events I have ever had the opportunity to be involved with. The performances
were all awesome and the cause was phenomenal. Over $13,000 for the children is
definitely something to be proud of and I'm honored that I could contribute as
well. Thank you for embracing me into the family. It was a rewarding experience
that I will cherish. You both did an awesome job with everything! Again thanks
so much . I look forward to future events. God bless you!
