Summer updates!

I apologize for not updating the blog sooner. Finnz Fundz had a great summer!

Our launch party was a HUGE success! A big thank you to the nearly one hundred people who attended our party at Indigo Pizza. We are so thankful that Mary Day lent us her hospitality and fabulous space. Larry and the Reverbs rocked the house and provided awesome entertainment, and the kids got to be the stars while doing some karaoke. The raffle was a huge success--we couldn’t have done it without all the great prizes that were donated! We were amazed by the generosity!

With the money we’d raised online plus the money raised at our event, we’re at nearly $10,000!!! SO excited to start helping families! Outreach letters and information have been sent to the CF Care Centers in New England.

We also have some new exciting news--we are partnering with Alex and Ani (www.alexandani.com), a local RI jewelry company that is becoming well known around the world. Owner of Alex and Ani, Carolyn Rafaelian, has approved a bracelet design that will be presented through her Charity by Design division, and twenty percent of all sales of this special charm will be donated to Finnz Fundz!!! We are so excited and thrilled to be working with such a forward thinking company. The design will be going to production soon, and we will reveal it as soon as we can!
