Good Stuff!
What a GREAT (and busy) year we have coming! Here is a list of our upcoming events...
Monday March 21 (my birthday)
Red Robin Fundraiser- We are raising funds for a local family to help them take a much needed vacation to Disneyland. Last year the mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and has undergone tough treatment. She is married with 2 small children (ages 5 and 1), and her husband works out of town. As if having a double mastectomy wasn't enough, doctors found that she has a gene that causes breast and ovarian cancer, so she needs a hysterectomy as well. After a year like the one this, they dream of going to Disneyland, but life and medical bills make it seem impossible. We hope to raise enough money to help them with the trip by purchasing as many Southern California City Passes as we can (they will need 3).
All you have to do is eat dinner at Red Robin on March 21 from 5pm-8pm and tell your server that you would like to help. They will donate 10% of your bill to the cause. You’re going to eat dinner anyway, why not help a little too.
Saturday May 7
St. George IronMan- We are VERY excited to once again be at Run Aid Station #8, and to be teaming up with Ryan Bishop and Allstate Insurance (if you need insurance, you need to call Ryan). As of today we have several openings for the 6pm-11pm shift, and would love to have you join us (you won't regret it, we had a BLAST last year). If you would like to sign up follow this link (you may have to cut and paste): http://www.doitsports.com/volunteer2/user-volunteer-signup.tcl?event_id=212541&job_id=54215697&x=42&y=5
Sunday May 8
Mothers Day Gift Baskets- Last year we made up some gift baskets for the women at the D.O.V.E. center and we would like to do it again this year. For over 15 years in the DOVE Center has been committed to provide safe, caring, and confidential shelter, advocacy, and support for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and to reduce the incidents of abuse through prevention education. If you have beauty products, jewelry, or other items you would like to contribute please email us at washfirerelief@yahoo.com and we will make arrangements to pick them.
Saturday May 14
Washington City Cotton Days- For the 3rd year in a row we will be sponsoring the dunk tank at the Cotton Days celebration. We are hoping to get members of the city council to "volunteer" to be dunked again this year. They were very kind in helping us last year! Make sure to come down and see us at the park.
St. George Marathon "Official Charity"- We received an email today informing us that we have been selected as an Official Marathon Charity! This is WONDERFUL news. We have been given 5 entrees to one of the most popular marathons in the country so that we can raise funds. We have not yet decided how to do this, but we are all VERY excited for the opportunity. The St. George Marathon will be October 1.
We will be adding to this list as the year goes on, so please check back. We thank everyone for their support and donations; we couldn't do this with out you.

Good News!
All of our events so far this year have been a huge success! Thank you to everyone (yes we mean you) you helped us along the way. Remember all the money we raise stays right here in Washington County!
Our "Charity of the Month" experience with 94.1 The Planet went very well. We got our name out there and raised $200 at our Chili's give back day. It was very fun (and yummy) and we hope to do it again next year.
The IRONMAN was absolutely the most fun we have had!!!! The people were great, the atmosphere was fun, and it was just great to be apart of. We will most definitely do it again next year. And to top off all that fun, the IRONMAN Foundation was gracious enough to give our charity $750 for participating.
We also made mothers day baskets for the women at the D.O.V.E. Center. They are a safe haven to women who suffer from Domestic Violence. We wanted to make their hearts smile, and I think we succeeded. We filled the baskets with Avon products (donated by local reps, they are AWESOME), slippers, and a nice necklace and earring set (also donated by a local rep). We were told the baskets were a huge hit, and hope to continue this next year.
At the end of May we hosted the Dunk tank at Washington City's Cotton Days Festival. Washington City's Mayor Neilson, Councilman Turek, and Councilman Hudson were all kind enough to put themselves on the line for a good cause. We had a great time and will be back next year with a giant tank full of water, hoping to get everyone cooled off.
As you can see it has been Quite a year already, and it is only July. We would like to thank EVERYBODY who made this year such a success, it is great to get our name out there and be able to help so many.
If you know of anybody who we might be able to help or have ideas for fundraisers please email us at washfirerelief@yahoo.com.
