#23 The genorosity of others

Today we had the fundraiser for Juliette. It was a long day, but so worth it. Our goal (which I will admit, I didn't think we would make even close to) was $2,000. We made a little over $3,000!!! Wow!! I can't believe it. We had so many local businesses sponsor holes, lots of people buying baked goods, 72 people sign up for the tournament, and tons of donations through raffle ticket purchases, or just some that would tell us to "keep the change". Amazing. Even the rough crowd that the disc golfers tend to be, they still donated money towards the cause. Some of them got prizes, and they did get to play in a tournament, but they didn't have to donate money. Even through the haze of cigarette smoke, the smell of alcohol, and the myriad tattooed bodies, there were hearts filled with compassion and love.
