Annual Fundraiser - HOME

The night of the fundraiser really felt like a night spent with a few hundred of my favorite people! I didn’t do the greatest job of taking pictures, there were just so many people to talk to instead
Our Campbell County community never ceases to amaze me. Thank you all so much for SHOWING UP to support what we get to do at Second Chance year after year.
Early count shows us exceeding last year’s record breaking auction!!
I am beyond blessed with the MOST AMAZING team of people who put this on every year: Kelly Cook, Karen (and Ray) Maple, Allen and LuDelle Balek, Tim and Wanda Fox, Gail Cruse, Vickie Haynes, and Melanie Weatherstone - plus all the volunteers from the community who help set up, take tickets, serve food, and tear down. There are literally too many to list!
We had to add tables last night!! We ran out of room, we ran out of lettuce and those are good problems to have!!
My Pastor who brought immense PEACE with his prayer, thank you
My speakers who took time to share their hearts, and use their stories to show the need for organizations like Second Chance, thank you!
Justin Biesheuvel, THANK YOU for always bringing your A game and for donating your time to our event. You are always a great end to a great night.
Tammy Akovenko was there for the first time in a long time and it was an honor to have our founder in the building!
It was like Jesus was just IN every single detail, and I am SO grateful.
Sometimes this gig gets me frazzled. Sometimes it breaks my heart. Sometimes I really don’t know why God chose me for the job, but all the time, ALL THE TIME, I do know how incredibly fortunate I am to get to do this with my life, and there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
Auction nights overwhelm me with gratitude - after the anxiety, they overwhelm me with gratitude.
My Board of Directors - who are the best board of directors on the actual PLANET, thank you for always having my back. I’m thankful for each and every one of you.
Thank you, THANK YOU ALL, for making this night (and my life) spectacular!
