We Want You! (Taken from Derrick's Blog)


We need your help...

It's been heavy on our hearts lately to do something special for CHD Awareness Week. We thought and thought, and while we were at MUSC for D's cath a few weeks ago, we gave Dr. Graham the money raised at the pageant. It felt SO good (and it was money donated by people who didn't even know us!), and it was then that we decided what we have to do. We HAVE to raise money for CHD research. While we know that anything we raise will not even be a fraction of what is needed, we have to do our part. And we need YOUR help!

Here's the deal:
Who: You and everyone you wouldn't mind eating breakfast with you
What: Pancakes covered with butter and syrup (by you, of course...yeah, heart healthy! ;) sausage, fruit and beverage
When: Saturday, February 6, from 7:30 until 10:30
Where: Fatz Cafe in Irmo (on Broad River Road)
Why: To raise money for MUSC's CHD research
How Much: $7 for you...kids 4 and under eat FREE!!


Justin and I went and talked to the owner of Fatz Saturday and we're pumped about it. Now...I'm a little nervous, because guess what?!?! We need people to come!!! And guess what else! Two weeks before this shindig, Derrick is having surgery and we won't even be here to sell tickets! Bad timing? Maybe...maybe not. We have faith that we'll get help, because this is not for us, it's for

Derrick, Loreli, Parker, Logan, Andrew, Christian, Ruthie, Evie, Zeb, Elijah, Jordan, Olivia, Braeden, Kaden, Noah, Ryan, Lauren, Steve, Chloe, Lindsey, Owen, Adam, Brielle, Taggert, Garrett, Porter, Sofi, Tommy, Brittney, Cassiana, Angel Annabelle, Angel Ethin, Angel Jack, Angel Tru, Angel Amelia, Angel Andrew, and THOUSANDS of others.

So....

if you want to be waited on hand and foot while enjoying yummy, sticky sweet pancakes,
or
if you want to see how many people you can pack into one restaurant that
YOU invited there (and sold tickets to :) ),
or
if you want to help serve this yummy breakfast to these excited people and
ENJOY THIS BREAKFAST FOR FREE AFTERWARDS
or
if you want to help BraveHEARTS like these two..

email me (carolinacarters@gmail.com), leave a comment with your email so I can get in touch with you, call me, get in touch with me somehow!

It's a win-win situation.
You get breakfast, we get HOPE!
