Last weekend, we had 2 very wonderful fundraisers. A huge amount of gratitude is extended to all those who particiapted, donated, bought auction items and who simply helped our cause.

1. Rock 4 Bridget: A benefit concert at the Elbo Room in Chicago. This was organized through family, Kathleen’s brother, Chris Garibaldi, featuring musical guests: Bully Pulpit, The Weightmen, The Suneaters, and Branden Barnett of Ghost Shirt!!

2. A Cocktail Reception at the Onion Pub in Barrington. Friends and family of the Jensens and Kennicotts came together to visit with one another, including Bridget! There were silent auction items, live music from Way Past Curfew and cocktails and food.

And a third on the way…If you are a GOLFER- this is for you! Another foundation has taken up our cause and would like to donate some of their proceeds to H4B. You, too, can participate in this fundraiser at their Golf Outing Charity on July 30 at Golf Club of Illinois in Algonquin. Please see their website for details www.jimmurphy.com

Again, we would like to thank everyone for their generosity. It never, never fails to astonish us!!!
