Today is the day. Excited to have some fun tonight, but have to admit, I can’t take my mind off Leighton Weber, Jordan Weber and their family. This young man is just one local example of why we are doing this. Absolutely heart wrenching.
Are you aware that less than 2% of funding raised in this country to fight cancer goes towards pediatrics and the youth of our country? These kids are fighting this awful disease and still trying to develop their bodies and organs. It takes a different approach than adults that are fully developed humans. The funds raised tonight will all go to the University of Iowa hospital to help Leighton, and any other youth that have these circumstances. Although these funds tonight don’t go directly to Leighton, they may directly help him in his fight with your help.
I can’t say thank you enough to the committee that helped me bring this dream to life the past two years. Staci Schiltz Molly Brouillette Julie Woods Kinsey Meyer. If you ever need to get anything done in your life, make sure and get these guys on your leadership team. So grateful for your big selfless, servant hearts ladies. Quint Howell, your leadership of our marketing and this event has been over the top. Thank you!
Thank you The pork tornadoes for jumping on board with us to do this event tonight. Thank you KMCH Radio for your partnership! We are so blessed to have you in our community! Thank you St. Pats, City of Ryan, and all our other helpers in tonight’s event like Olive that deli Shelly Ries Schrader, Boonie at the liquor store, dollar fresh, Kwik Star, Kaleb Kruse, our auctioneer, and I know I am missing many others.

We still have some of the 300 tickets left, and will only be taking cash tonight at the door for tickets, and for drink tickets. We will collect names and addresses and get squared up later on auction items.
