Christopher's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Feb 26, 2025

 Thank you all for coming to our events this past week at Bye-i,  Druthers, Trickshots and Shaker Heritage Society.  The support means so much to me and the rest of my family. Our trivia event was even better than the first time!! So many fun people and a happy birthday shoutout to my Uncle Bobby!  Our paranormal lecture and guided ghost hunts did not disapoint!  The spirits seemed to enjoy all the shaker music we played for them.  Our pool tournament at Trickshots was not only fun but the pool community was out in force and we definately felt the love. 

We have ONE WEEK LEFT!!!  If you have been waiting this is the time to please make your donation!  Every dollar counts!  

This week we have parents night out/Glo Dance Party and Trivia at Eagle Crest Gold Club in Clifton Park.  This is going to be ah-amazing as my Aunt Ashley would say!  There is a local 9 year old DJ and the kids will get to enjoy her spinning while their parents have a drink at the bar and test their trivia knowledge. 

We are also very much looking forward to our last pool tournament- this one is at the Cue and Brew in Ft. Edward and if Audre's enthusiam is any indication it is going to be quite the evening. 

Thank you all so much again, I can't wait for these final events!! It has been quite the ride. 

 

 

What a big week!!

Feb 16, 2025

This week is filled with some of our most exciting events. Tomorrow we will be having a event at Druther's Brewing Company in Clifton Park and all you have to do to support the campaign is just mention to them that you are there for LLS. Due to their close connection to our cause they have agreed to donate 50% of all of the proceeds for those who say they are there for our event. How generous is that!?

Then on Thursday we will have our second trivia night at Bye-I-Brewing with That Trivia Guy. We will have a 50/50, silent raffle and maybe a surprise or two. There is a suggested $10 donation at the door and don't forget that for the entire month every time you buy a pint of "putting on the rice" $1 will be donated to LLS. Who ever thought that drinking might cure cancer! Haha.

On Friday and Saturday we will be  at the Shaker Heritage Museum.  Friday we are sharing the results from our January paranormal investigation and on Saturday we will have two sessions of guided ghost hunting at the Shaker Heritage Museum. These are two events that I am the most excited about. Educational, very interesting and maybe slightly spooky :

Also on Saturday we will be hosting a pool tournament at Trickshots in Clifton Park.  50/50, tricky tray raffles and more!!

I can't wait to see you all there.

Superbowl Squares

Feb 11, 2025

Thank you to everyone who bought our football squares!!! The game wasn't as exciting as we usually hope it is but I hope your squares made it a bit more exciting. 

A giant thank you to those who won and thoughtfully donated almost all of their winnings back to LLS! It means a lot to me that there are so many people in this community who are so generous.  We will continue moving forward with the rest of our events now with a bit more spring in our step energized by those acts of kindness.

Thank you all who bought squares once again.

I am so excited to share these events and am hoping to reach our fundraising goal for the important, life saving and supportive services offered by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for both national research and local patient support/education. This has been a life changing commmitment for me.  The helpful people I have met, the lessons learned, meeting some inspiring cancer survivors, they are all incredible and I know this will stay with me the rest of my life and I can't wait to continue to share with you all.  

And don't worry-  if you can't make the events but still want to make a difference please consider making a donation right here on my page.  Every dollar makes a difference - and with Charity Navigator's 4 star rating of LLS you can rest assured that your funds are being used to fund these important programs.
