Flat Earth Pizza fundraiser big success
On April 27th, there was a Fundraiser and Silent Auction to help raise money for my wife who is battling Stage IV cancer. There is no chemo or radiation involved because doctors said those treatments would do more harm than good. For this reason, my insurance pays nothing toward her treatment. We also have a $7,000 deductible.
The fundraiser turned out to be a great success and we wanted to thank the many businesses who donated gift cards or items to the Silent Auction.
First and foremost is Flat Earth Pizza. Not only did they allow us to hold the event there, but THEY approached me about donating a portion of their day's profits to us. Ryan, Brandon, Kayla, and staff were very helpful. Even now we have a raffle basket with other great prizes at their location. Awesome people!
The other businesses who we can't thank enough are: Allstate Insurance (Bruce Bergantz), Benson's Feed and Tack, Bohdi Tree Massage, Bonanza Saloon in Virginia City, Carson City Harley Davidson (Manager Craig), China East Restaurant, Chuck's Auto Repair, The Cutting Edge Salon, Dave and Breck's Kettle Corn in Virginia City, El Aguila Real Restaurant, Galaxy Theatres, Grandma's Fudge in Virginia City, Highway 50 Barber Shop, Kim Lee's Sushi, Paul Schat's Bakery, Perfectly Posh (Barbie Foster Matsko), Pampered Chef (Kaitlyn Wright-North) Pet Smart, Ralston Massage, Sassafras Restaurant, Schwans Home Food Delivery (Don Emlaw), The Shoe Tree Brewery, Surf Thru Express Car Wash, Tires Plus Highway 50 (Manager Jeremy), Unique Sounds, US Sub Base, Western Nevada Supply Company (Rob Smith), and Yogurt Beach in North Carson (Owner Richard Wenschlag).
We would also like to thank those people who either donated or assisted with the Silent Auction. We could not have done this without these amazing friends and community members. Steve, Gloria and Arryelle Parrish, Jayne Joralemon-Padilla, Ed Jucevic, Karen Barr, Shelli Carriveau, Max Volume 105.7 KOZZ, Brad and Carrie Cockman, Bruce Bergantz, Kristin McCormick, Eileen Hoyt, Barbie Foster Matsko, Ryan Shephard (NV Appeal),Jeff Munson (CarsonNow.org) and so many others in our town that purchased raffle tickets or just donated. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
Once again, our family cannot express enough gratitude. Your generosity means more than you'll ever know, and donations can still be made at https://www.plumfund.com/medical-fund/milas-miracle. We've been meaning to do this sooner, but working a job and battling cancer consumes many hours of the day. God Bless you all!!
Sincerely,
Tom, Mila, and Haley
