Fundraiser Coming Up!

David and I are in the middle of planning for a fundraiser.  I can't take credit for it, because I copied the idea from somebody else, but I am REALLY excited about it.  We are doing an online auction!  Right here at stefanichsteppingstones.blogspot.com.   The plan is for the Auction to go live on Thursday, July 29 and go through Sunday, August 1.  So mark your calendars!

That also means I have 1 month to round up donations for this exciting event.  My plan is to rely on family and friends and their amazing talents.  So far my grandmother will be donating American Girl Doll clothes that she HAND made (I know!!  INCREDIBLY awesome!), my cousin is doing some really great sewing for us (a hooded towel, maybe?), a friend of mine has donated some really amazing original photographs, another friend is donating her amazing cake decorating skills, and I have a few corporate donations too!  We are feeling SO incredibly blessed right now.  God really laid it on my heart to ask people for these donations, even though it is really uncomfortable.  I have been so humbled by peoples' generosity!  A couple people simply offered to donate upon hearing about our auction.  And I still have a list of more people to ask.  Everyone's enthusiasm has made it much easier to ask for donations.

But now I am opening it up to you :)  If you would like to share your talents in honor of Baby Stefanich, we are hoping you will let us know!  You can donate to our auction by emailing me at mackenziestefanich@gmail.com or by letting David or I know :)

You can also support us by spreading the word to everyone you know, and sending them to our blog on July 29!  I will send more details about the auction, with pictures of items and descriptions as we get closer to the live date!!
