Last Week

Just a shout out for last week.  We had an awesome turn out and a fantastic amount of donations for my sister-in-law and her family.  These are the times that I am proud of being from a small town in Iowa.  The turn out from friends and family were incredible, but even from complete strangers.  It brings a tear to the eye. 

This Weekend - if you are not busy...

Join the food, fun, and friends for a spectacular fundraiser! There will be a BBQ, silent auction, and organized children events. Free will donations accepted.


Sarah (Keat) Danner was born and raised in Carroll, IA, where she resides today with her husband, John, and two young children, Emma and Caleb. Just three months after giving birth to Caleb, Sarah was diagnosed in mid-February with acute lymphocytic leukemia cancer at age 29. Sarah is currently undergoing intense chemotherapy treatments at Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, IA and will most likely undergo a stem cell transplant following chemotherapy.

Sarah’s treatments prohibit her from attending her job as a Registered Nurse at St. Anthony’s Regional Hospital. Members of this community are holding a benefit to raise money to help lessen this huge financial burden on Sarah’s family. The money raised will help cover Sarah’s cancer treatment costs. This benefit will allow her to enjoy time with her family without worry of undue financial burden.
