A Great Turnout!

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who attended, promoted, donated, assisted and volunteered at Jonathan Minner’s Celebrity Bartender fundraising event on May 16.

I could not have done it without the help of Treasures Thrift Shop benefiting Tidewell Hospice and the Polo Grill went above and beyond what we expected of our hosts. It was wonderful to see friends from Cutting Loose Salon (the BEST salon in town, and I’m not just saying that because of their generosity), The Dark Side: Comics and Games, Tidewell Hospice, and many, MANY local businesses.

Thank you, Anne Winetraub, for your kindness and generosity. Although I did not know you when I first reached out to you for help, you were someone I could count on throughout the entire process. Thank you Mom, Chip and Nikki Orth, Kerry Koppin and Deborah Kenny for the significant roles you played in making this dream come to life.

For our first fundraiser we had a great turn out. We raised at least $2,000 (we are still calculating tips collected from the polo grill), all of which will help to mitigate medical costs as Jon continues to battle Burkitt’s Lymphoma. I hope to hold a second event in the upcoming months. No details yet except the best one: Jon should be there. ☺

Please consider donating. Even if you can only afford five dollars, every little bit will help Jon pay for medical costs as he continues to battle Burkitt's Lymphoma. Giving to Jonathan Minner during this time of crisis is easy and safe. Click on the "donate" button below.
