Kids at Heart - Part 1
There was not a moment to spare between "Kids at Heart" on June 6th and our departure on June 12th, so I'm doing a little catch-up blogging and finally posting pictures of the event. (I also have video footage of the Community Awards ceremony which I'll post up later this week, in case anyone wants to see that.)
All-in-all it was a pretty terrific evening...the most enjoyable "Kids at Heart" for me personally. It was well organized by an amazing team of volunteers and staff who worked very hard on making sure the day-of-the-event was seamless (ie: not stressful). And in the end, we raised around $27,000 for The GreenHouse. yay!
My favorite part of the event was that we brought along a bunch of our kids. Our fifth and sixth graders worked at the registration table and our teens served dinner. They got all dressed up and they looked amazing, in addition to doing an AWESOME job. They truly came alive - executing their jobs perfectly and taking ownership of the event. Everyone really enjoyed having them there and it was clear that they were all having fun, too.
The rest of these pictures were taken by DeAnna Gallardo who captured the essence of the event perfectly.
