And, of  course, a video on how it all began….

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 3,100 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 52 trips to carry that many people.

2011 Fundraising Total……..

What an amazing year this has been!  I am very proud to announce that so far (I continue to receive donations throughout the Christmas Season) my total raised for 2011 is currently at $18,088.00.  This has been our biggest year yet!

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us.  This money will be directly deposited into the Emily’s Hopeful Holiday Fund at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, OH and will assist many families with paying bills such as rent, utilities, car payments, mortgages — or whatever their needs may be.

Our Coupon Booklet raised a great deal of money…thank you to all who purchased advertising, coupons, and memorials and thank you to everyone who purchased the booklets.  Our Annual Fundraiser at Church Street in Amherst drew record crowds this year which greatly contributed to our grand total.  

Thank you to everyone who came out to the fundraiser, purchased raffle tickets, ate at Church Street and donated to EHH.  Thank you  to all our show hosts who generously donated 75% of their commission (Susan Enzor/Tupperware, Susan Neely/MaryKay, Linda Bertrand/Silpada, Chris Whitacre/Willow House, Karlene Reaser/Pampered Chef, Amy Heuring/Scentsy, and Melissa Striker/Tastefully Simple).  Thank you to Church Street for your very generous donation of 20% of all dining bills during our fundraiser!  Thank you to all the raffle prize donors!  And lastly, thank you to ALL our volunteers who continue to support EHH — We could not do this without all of your help!
