Thanks to the incredible generosity and support of our community, the PumpkinFest 5K was a huge success!
In the 2 short weeks between the first announcement and race day, Team Baby E grew to 65+ members strong! On a chilly Saturday morning, we were joined by family members, old friends, new friends, friends of friends, neighbors, co-workers, and lots and lots of kids. The race route took us around and through Zeeland Stadium and a few of the schools; the same places that our little boy will walk someday soon.
Team Baby E raised a total of $1, 247 (more donations came in after the pictures were taken!) and every penny of that will be used to "bring this little pumpkin home!"
HUGE thanks to:
-Julie Paterick (our friend who organized the entire team!) for her contagious passion, motivation, and the little miracles that she worked all the way up to race day. From designing the cute t-shirts to tying pumpkin-shaped name tags on the race bags -- Julie is a master party planner and her little personal touches really made the entire morning unforgettable!
-Tammi Dryden for donating her incredible photography skills in order to capture the morning on film for us!
-Everyone who donated, walked, ran, or cheered us on! Team Baby E was successful because of your generosity and dedication and we are so, so thankful!
