Another lengthy Thank You blog post will follow, but just wanted to let you all know that we're excited for Helping Hands!

We are blown away by the support & encouragement that we've received from friends to complete strangers. It's so crazy to think that this event just started off as an idea three weeks ago. We're excited & thankful for this opportunity to be a part of the movement to bring change.

So musicians, vendors, photographers, helpers, friends - thank you so much for your big hearts. This event is coming together because of you. 

Readers, save Dec. 19th on your calendar. Come out. Bring your family & friends. Be a part of the movement.
