What a wonderful weekend! We had a few big fundraising events that we want to share with you on our blog. These events helped us raise money for our In Vitro Fertilization procedure and to allowed us to raise awareness about infertility.
On Saturday we were pumped and rearing to go at our 5K run/walk event sponsored by Pound the Pavement for Parenthood. We were overwhelmed by the support of so many wonderful people who came out to race for our journey to fertility. Austin and I are so pleased to announce that we raised $620 from registered participants and another $212.40 from the bake sale!!! Thank you all for coming and supporting our dream to become parents! We also want to acknowledge and thank the Pound the Pavement for Parenthood Organization for sponsoring us for their 2nd annual race. We plan on racing in their future 5K events for other couples.
On Friday and Saturday we were sponsored for a booth at the Get Outdoor Expo in Sandy, UT. We set up a booth and advertised for the Pound the Pavement for Parenthood Organization and sold products to raise additional funds for our IVF. We raised $273.84 at the booth! We want to give a special thank you to all who have supported our cause by either helping run the booth or donated products to sell at the event. We met some wonderful people and helped get potential vendor sponsors and over 20 more interested participants for future 5K events.
Austin and I are hopeful that we will be able to start our IVF procedure at the end of June. Stay tuned...
