Thank You for a Successful Fundraiser!

We're so thrilled and touched at the wonderful outpouring of support we received at our Eat, Drink and Be Scary Ball this past weekend! The event was a huge success and we are so grateful to everyone who attended and made generous gifts for the special children at Sammy's House.

The venue was beautiful, everyone was dressed up in fun costumes, and the evening offered multiple ways to learn about and support Sammy's House. For many people, the live auction was the highlight of the evening. There were several exciting items to bid on, including a Spring Break vacation in Florida, tickets to a sold-out Taylor Swift concert, an Austin "stay-cation" at the W Hotel, a gourmet dinner, and perhaps most unique of all, a chance to ride in an ambulance, STAR Flight helicopter, and the Austin Police Chief's patrol car for a day.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the evening such a success, including our Board members, the event planning committee, all of our generous corporate sponsors, and all the attendees who pledged funding to support our programs for another year.

Check back here or the Sammy's House website in the near future to see pictures of the event. See you at next year's ball -- you won't want to miss it!
