Brucci's Night for PTK

The Junior Board for Promise to Kate wants to do all they can to make money to give the hospital and scientists to find a cure for Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy.  The first official group fundraiser we planned was a dinner night at Brucci's Pizza.  Basically, the way it worked was the manager gives the wait staff the night off on Tuesdays and your fundraising group can serve, take orders, bus tables and clean up and you get all the tips for the night.   

The PTK Junior Board (and their family team of helpers) arrived for the dinner shift last night at 5 pm.  This picture shows the first shift, more helpers continued to arrive!

Promise to Kate Junior Board

We were so BUSY all night we barely had time for more photos but here are a few of the crew in action.

And one of the sweet little Kate we made a promise to...

The kids on the Junior Board ROCKED!  They were so sweet to all the customers asking to refill drinks, taking orders and cleaning up.  The owner of Brucci's said we did a FANTASTIC job!

And guess how much we raised?  $740.00!!!!!!

One especially special moment of the night for me was when my little brother, Chase (9 years old) told me he had written a speech to give at the restaurant.  I had to explain that it was probably going to be too loud for everyone to hear him but that I would post it on my blog.  Here it is:

In case it's too small for you to read, here's a translation (with his spelling):

Thank you for coming tonight but remember all the tips will go to the fodation Promise to Kate.  And the tips will go to Wolfsen Children hospital.  Now I will tell you a little bit about Kate she a little girl who has a very rare disease which is mitonic-musculers-destephey that disabels her body that is not as strong as us so please make a Promise to Kate and help this girl be like us.  thank you

This group of fabulous kids takes their Promise seriously.  Won't you join us?
