Hi Joe,
Don't know if you have space or time, but I put together a list of helpers/businesses that made the bonfire possible. This does not include of course the monetary donations. We had an amazing turnout (as you know!) especially considering the weather...we estimate around 350 people came by, and $12,500 was raised! We were excited that the community backed this and that the event came together in just 5 short days! This cause is so important--it really hit home to so many people that this beautiful little 4 year old girl, Brooke Mulford, has to go through so much. We are happy we were able to raise so much to help with the family's medical expenses. Here is the list--we tried very hard to list everyone who helped. Again, none of this would be possible without the community!

funny that you advertise asap services
ReplyDeleteI agree with anon 9:05. ASAP services is only donating our tax dollars back to the cause. I realize the bonfire was a success and the cause was more than worthy but this idiot needs to thank the taxpayers of Wicomico for the donations to his cause.
ReplyDeleteKudos to everone else. It is great to see a community come together in these times. It gives you hope.
Funny that ASAP's donation would even be accepted.
ReplyDeleteOther than ASAP why not make sure the community now supports these businesses to thank them for their kindness. Rick P.
ReplyDeleteWhy shouldn't Ray's help be accepted and acknowledged? Who can think of a better use of some of his money? Or did he provide port-o-johns? If the latter, I can only imagine some of the artwork left behind. Nonetheless, there is no better cause than to help a child that is in need,No matter who you are.
ReplyDeleteimagine that... no help from the metropolitan mag
ReplyDeleteThanks to Party's Etc. Too!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy shouldnt ASAP donate? That company has paid the price for their mistake...financially and economically. Give it a rest...move on to another topic. Donations are donations....a good thing no matter who does it.
ReplyDeleteThen have ray donate that $400,000 back to the county. Then I will call it even...
ReplyDeleteI think someone got there feelings hurt for not being recognized.
