I just wanted to give everyone a little run down on the benefit. I do hope some of you can make it. We have worked really hard to make it a great day for everyone. I have attached the 2 flyers (kids and benefit) also so that you can sort of get an idea what is happening.
Food
Live Bands - you can check out our webpage for the groups and the times they play - http://nathentrueblood.com/benefit2008.html
Cash Bar (monies from alcoholic beverages does not go to Nathen)
Bucs Game
Arm Wrestling - this is gonna be fun
Pie Throwing - this is gonna be funny!
Raffles - and do we have raffles this year. Some of the items are a Bucs Coach Gruden Superbowl Hat autographed with a certificate, Tampa Bay Rays Watch, Family 1 year pass to Mosi, 1 year free membership to Beach Park Health Club, Really nice framed prints, and a lot more items and more coming. You do not have to be present to win and if you would like to buy tickets please call me. We will post something soon that will show all items being raffled. And just to let everyone know, we are very honest in our raffles and Nathen's family is not allowed to participate in any raffles.
Rummage Sale - People have called and we have picked up stuff and some are bringing their items the day of the event. If you have something, or want to clear out stuff, call me, I will pick up, we have a storage room (813) 900-3319
Baked Goodies - We are asking anyone who would like to, please bring in a baked item for this sale.

Jumbo the Clown - If you have not heard about Jumbo yet, everyone is in for a treat, a true entertainer!
Hair Cuts by various hair cutters from So. Tampa - all proceeds are going to Nathen $10 hair cut.
Pedicures & Painted Nails by Margo
Kids Games, Bouncer, Slide, Coloring, Prizes, 2 cartoon charactes & More!
Tupperware Display - I decided to do this for Amanda. I have heard over and over how small the Ronald McDonald House rooms are, and she tries to stay organized there. I thought we could do a tupperware party the day of the benefit and whatever the hostess earns Amanda can pick out some stuff from the catalog for her and Nathen while they are trying to be comfortable in NY. I have catalogs and am taking orders. If you would like to order something from Tupperware and have it benefit Amanda and Nathen, you can contact Denise Fyda and here you can see some of the great things they have right now: Denise Fyda WEBSITE: http://my2.tupperware.com/DeniseFyda
Last but certainly not the least (to some anyway) if we reach $10,000, I will get on stage and have my head shaved bald again!! It is just starting to grow too. But it's ok, it will grow back!
There will be professional photography being taken all day also in which we will get to share when it's all over, I can't wait!
There may be other things happening that day as we are working on more stuff. Please pass the word around, invite your friends, family and everyone. Come out and have fun and at the same time help Amanda and Nathen. And if you can't make it, maybe you can print the flyer up and hang it somewhere that others may see it!
Thanks everyone, please keep praying. I have to tell you that when I have been going out and getting raffle items, it has been hard for me to tell people about Nathen without me breaking down and crying. I have to stop myself and remember that God is going to use Nathen as an example of the miracles that he performs and Nathen will be the proof. Thank you for your continued support.
