An enormous THANK YOU for a successful supper...

A special thank you to each and every person who supported the supper on Saturday in their own special way...

Whether as a generous donor, a worker bee or a hungry dinner guest...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...

The proceeds and donations from Saturday night's spaghetti supper exceeded our greatest expectations and brought in close to $2000 for the Groh family. Amazing.

In addition to the financial success, we had another 15 folks enter the Marrow Donor program.  One step closer to finding Susan's ideal match...

This past Saturday was a shining bright spot for Warwick Fire Fighters Soccer Club.  Club president, Doyle Byrd, prides himself on running a "compassionate" club that really cares for its members needs. It's obvious that other folks in our club understand his outlook.  Players, board members and coaches were everywhere.  Steve Symonds, assistant coach extraordinaire, sang his heart out!

A special thank you to all the folks who rallied from Susan's neighborhood and close circle of friends.  Karen DeFelice worked her magic in bringing in some fabulous items for our Silent Auction.  I think we created some artistry with the baskets that yielded HUGE returns. 

Finally, it was great to see Susan, our guest of honor.  Her smiling face spoke volumes. Dressed all in yellow, she reminded me of a bright shining star.

I am sure she will continue burning bright with all the love and support she is receiving.

Isn't that what it's all about?

Don't miss out - penny social awesome-ness

The supper is set for tomorrow with some AMAZING items up for auction.
Gift cards galore, wine baskets and busy baskets for the kiddos...
Last minute gold circle donations...$100 gift cards to Capital Grille x 2 and luscious jewelry from Ross Simons.
Hope you can make it!

Spaghetti Supper on May 19th - Harness the power of Social Media!

Warwick Fire Fighters Soccer Club will be hosting a spaghetti supper on May 19th to raise funds to assist with the medical costs of Susan Groh's battle with leukemia.  The event will take place at Greenwood Elementary School's all-purpose room in Warwick (93 Sharon Street).

We are looking forward to a fantastic night spent with family and friends while enjoying some great food. We are catering the event and each order will consist of spaghetti and meatballs, salad, bread and a drink.

We will have a 50-50 raffle (you can win cash!), silent auction baskets and live music!

We will also have baked treats for your to enjoy...

The Marrow Donor Program will also be there to enter more folks into the registry.  Results are still pending from the drive we did in April.  The more people that register, the closer Susan gets to finding her match - and the more people we potentially can help with a life-saving gift.
