The Shawn Christian Fan event on April 27th at Harbour Bar and Fish House, benefitting Bert’s Big Adventure, was a big success!  Guests got to mingle with soap star Shawn Christian and the Briscoe Family from Bert’s Big Adventure, while Terence Morris gave an overview of Bert’s Big Adventure and the Fairy Godparent program.

Shawn reportedly fell in love with Maddie Briscoe and was smitten with her – he even called her for her birthday!  In the end, a whopping $3200.00 was raised for the organization by Molly Brandenberger.

This is what true help looks like, and we can never be thankful enough for those who go out of their way to help:

We want to say a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Autonation for helping Hunter’s family. They are such wonderful people and an inspiration to everyone they come in contact with. Their unending generosity is unbelievable and we appreciate everything they’re doing to support our families and our organization.

Autonation sent us this email, just an FYI: check out what they did for Hunter, his family and their van.

Last Sunday when we did the oil change fundraiser, we were talking with the family and told them to bring there Toyota by and we would change the oil.  Mr. Watson told us it had a blown tire and he would do it later.

We had Willie’s the towing company pick up the car for us.  When it arrived we looked at the vehicle and it had some major safety items on it.  We are fixing it up for them and they will pick it up next Tuesday and they will be surprised.

Items being done on the 1991 Toyota

• Replaced all 4 bald tiers-NTB donated them to us
• Replaced 2 parts in the /C unit that does not work
• Repaired read door that is not operational
• Replaced seals on leaks
• Welded exhaust system to be secure
• No radio in car van at all.  Mike form Auto Accents is donating a radio.

It’s a pleasure to see the heart felt things that they can do without getting stuck in the “red tape” that goes with big company policies.
