We continued to be humbled by the amazing support of our family, friends, and friends of friends!!!

THANK YOU!

Amazing!!!

We have been lax this summer updating the blog, and we apologize for that!

We have some AMAZING news...

First, the 23rd Evans Open, which happened back in May, raised $4000 for our work!!!!  We are beyond thrilled and so happy that we were chosen as their 2012 charity!!!  BIG thanks to the whole Evans clan, especially Jen, and to all the golfers who came out.

I have heard from Alex and Ani about the sales of the Shark Finn...we were guaranteed to receive a minimum $5000 donation over the next year from the company.  Well, in just the first month of sales, we are already receiving over $5800!!!!  WOW!  HUGE thanks to all who have purchased the bracelet and are spreading the word...that's over 1000 bracelets sold!!!!

We will be hosting Alex and Ani private shopping nights in RI (8/13) and NH (8/27).  Finnz Fundz will receive 15% of the sales from these events.  We continue to be THRILLED to be connected with such an amazing, successful and generous organization!  Can't say enough good things about them!!!!

We are also in touch with three families who potentially need our help!

WOW!!!!

A big, giant thank you to all who came out and celebrated Finn's legacy with us on Saturday night...there were about 90 of you present, and we truly appreciate it.  A big thanks as well to all those who made donations to Finnz Fundz but were unable to be there in person.  The night was a big success.  The Phenix Sportsman's Club made us feel very welcome, photographer Amy Ritz donated her time and took amazing pics, and Glenn Stewart and his band rocked the house.  A special thanks to Charlene Shoener for her AMAZING centerpieces!!! And a shout out to Jennie Devoe and her girls night out crew for taking care of the evening's host and hostess.  We were thrilled to have you all with us (including Squirrel from Michigan!) and can't wait for next year's party.  For now, we rest!

And....BIG DRUM ROLL....we raised $3000!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and a little bracelet called the Shark Finn is now available at Alex and Ani online and in their stores.

We know that lots of you went right out and got yours as soon as you could...thank you!  We went and visited the bracelets at three of the Alex and Ani stores here in RI!  20% of the purchase price comes back to Finnz Fundz--we are so lucky to be in partnership with this amazing (and local!) company!!!  Keep an eye out for a video about the release soon!

Once again, THANK YOU to all who love us and Finn, and who continue to support us on this journey!

This weekend!

Our big event on on Saturday!  Can't wait.  The guest list includes some of our very favorite people and we look forward to having a great time!


I know I have mentioned to people that there was going to be an in-store event at Alex and Ani in Newport for the bracelet launch on Sunday. Unfortunately, that won't be able to happen, but be sure to stop in to any of their stores or shop online and get your Shark Finn on 6/3! Can't believe the launch is almost here!

Getting close!

Our big event is now less than two weeks away!  If you haven't gotten your tickets yet but plan to attend, please purchase them ASAP!  We'll be shutting down online ticket sales on Friday, as we need to let the venue know how many people for dinner.  Don't get left out!!!  We want you to come have a great time with us!

We have a DJ and photographer!

wow...it's amazing how quickly the FB universe works. A BIG thanks to Sue Aurelio DeSimone for hooking us up with DJ Shawn Feeny and Jennifer Hartman Cohn for connecting us with photog Amy Ritz (check out her site!). We are SO thankful that both Amy and Shawn have agreed to donate their time for our 6/2 event!!!!! Thanks to everyone who was trying to help us out...we REALLY appreciate it!!!!!
