FAMILY AND FRIENDS FUNDRAISING UPDATE 12/2024

We chose 4 families in need from Sacramento Children's Home. Our group purchased Christmas gifts for the families and delivered them to the Sacramento Children's home sometime in early December. We could not do this without all the generous donations you have provided!

We used it before the hipsters did.

"THE SMILEY PROJECT"
UPDATE:
Phase 1 is complete!
The Smiley family has a brand new roof as well as new gutters and downspouts. There was some damage to an exterior wall that was also fixed. A huge shout out to all who helped with this endeavor. Up next is the kitchen. We will update with photos as soon as it's completed.

We held our first FamilyandFriendsFUNdraising poker tournament in August. Gian Montasini was a gracious host to 17 average and below average poker players. The Smiley Project Poker Tournament exceeded all expectations. A huge thanks to Gian for hosting and putting in a lot of time and work to make sure the event was lined up for success. Most of us were surprised when Perry showed up. He looked great! The set up was 60% of the buy-in went to the foundation and 40% went to the winners. We had 17 players that generated $1,200 for the foundation. But as it turned out- the winners also donated their winnings and the event ended up bringing in $1,740. It was an awesome night! Thanks again Gian!
