Wow---what a great night! We raised over $10,000 last night thanks to all those who came out and participated in the silent auction or just made donations! We are still processing payments so the total is not final yet.
If you paid with credit card last night, please be aware that your payment is being processed through "firstgiving.com" so you'll receive an email statement from that site but the funds will go directly to "Meals from the Heartland".
Remember: Tutus, teddybears & goodie bags, chocolate covered strawberries, and truffles will still be for sale through Saturday, February 13! Great chance to get your sweetie a Valentine's gift and know the money is going to feed people in Haiti.
