CAT Crew Dubliner Fundraiser

Colin is so lucky to have so many friends and family members who are willing to do anything for him. For the 2nd year in a row, we have a strong CAT Crew team in honor of Colin who are all raising money for the Special Olympics of NJ by participating in the Polar Bear Plunge. It's amazing to me how many people (50 people so far!) who are willing to take a plunge in the icy waters of the Atlantic ocean for such a great cause.

To raise money, our team members are asking for donations, are holding fundraisers, selling t-shirts, and having events like "jeans days" at their respective places of employment. First, Aunt Beth had the "Flapjack Fundraiser" at Applebees 2 weeks ago which raised just over $1,000 and then yesterday, Uncle Pat had a fundraiser at the Dubliner in Galloway, NJ which raised over $700!

We had a great time yesterday and we are so grateful to Uncle Pat and Aunt Kristine for getting everything organized and for creating baskets that raised a lot of money as a Chinese Auction/raffle. Special thanks to the workers and owner of the Dubliner who allowed us to have this event for our team. We are so appreciative to ALL of you who show your love for our little boy by these little things that you are doing...

...this little boy wasn't feeling the greatest yesterday with his teeth bothering him, but he was still as cute as ever and represented CAT Crew well!


Self-portrait with my little guy who was pretty clingy with me yesterday (can't say I don't mind!) but I am much more used to him being more than willing to go to anyone...

These were the kinds of looks I was getting while trying to take pictures yesterday...I guess he just wasn't feeling me with the camera...

Yup, here's that face again!

Thanks Uncle pat for such a great day!
