Wish us luck!

Morning All. Wish us luck today. Today is the big day! Today is Jacob's pancake breakfast benefit. We've sold 300 tickets to the event and hope to sell a few more at the door. There are over 100 donated items for the silent auction and lots of goodies for the bake sale.

It's amazing to me what people can do when they set their minds to it. No one had to help us with this benefit, but they did. People from all over went above and beyond to help a little boy that they've never met. Or probably will never meet. And it means the world to Jacob and his family. It's proof that there is still some good in the world. Sometimes we just need someone special like Jake to remind us of that. Even though he's spent his most of his short life in the hospital and struggled with each moment of his daily life, he's always smiling. A bright reminder that life is precious.

We wish to thank all of those who helped with this benefit. From the cash donations to the lady at the car wash who donated her employee car wash certificates because the corporate office had a policy about donations. We couldn't have done it with out you! Because of you and your generosity, Jacob, Jill, Todd, and Jenna will have some help that they desperately needed.

Wish us luck today. And Hopefully you'll all have as good as a day as we do!
