BEST. DAY. EVER

Or at least pretty close.
     We got quite a surprise this week, courtesy of FUN SPOT America.  They chose us as their charity of choice for October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  They raised money through a portion of admissions, pink cotton candy sales, donations from employees and the corporate staff.  And it was obviously VERY successful.  
     Thursday, they surprised our founder Vanessa Echols, at Channel 9 where she works.  FUN SPOT is a partner with the station's community service arm called 9 Family Connection.  Anyway, the COO John Arie Jr., presented us with a big check.  $12,500!!!  Check was not just big, it was HUUUGE.  If you know anything about FUN SPOT,  you know that's one of their famous slogans.  
     We are truly grateful for this partnership for many reasons.  The folks at FUN SPOT believe in our mission.  We are humbled and grateful.  They are a locally owned and operated theme park.  Like us, they believe in local people helping local people.  And they are a very generous business partner in Central Florida, helping many organizations.  They recently hosted the St. Jude walk to raise money to find a cure for childhood cancer.  
      Because of them, we will be able to continue to do what we do, give breast cancer warriors here in Central Florida one less thing to worry about when we help with rent/mortgage, utilities, food for the family or whatever else the family needs.
     Thank you FUN SPOT AMERICA!!
