Update 3:
I am baking 100 cupcakes for the party. I’ve also prepared 100 bags of party favors. I bought a flat-bed trolley to transport the goods around the event. It will be decorated with purple balloons and a sign designating it as The Purple Bunny Project Trolley. I should be easy to find!
The party favor bags contain daisy seeds; daisies were one of my Aunt's favorite flowers. Please plant the seeds in her memory. My cousins, Donald, Anne and Theresa appreciate your help and support in raising awareness for this cancer that took their mother’s life.
So far, we have raised over $1,200 for NOCC. You are welcome to donate at the event on Friday, or you can visit the link below to make an online donation. You will receive a tax deductible receipt with your online donation.
Let me know if you have questions, ideas or concerns.
Update 2:
This event has been moved to Sequoia at Washington Harbour. We will gather at the outside bar, and in the event of rain the party will move indoors. The restaurant is fully operational.
Thank you for your patience and understanding with all the last minute changes. See you there!
