New Years Black and White Ball for Nepal Fundraiser

As most of you know, this New Years Eve Colin and I drove up to Seattle to attend the Black and White Ball for Nepal, a fundraiser set up for my sister's non profit organization - Life's Handy Work. The money raised from this event and all future events will benefit the underprivileged children of Nepal through scholarships and other financial help. The great thing is, 100% of proceeds go to these children. There are NO admin costs.

We absolutely had a blast! Definitely one of the most memorable New Years we've had. I can't say I'll be drinking cherry rum out of a beer cup anymore. I sure paid for that one the 1st. We had a few people over 200 attend ALL who wore black and white dressy clothes. Here are some pictures below:

Next year's theme is Hollywood style. I can't wait to see all the awesome outfits people come up with! And hopefully it won't be so darn cold! Next up?

August - Softball for Nepal tournament which Colin and I are hosting

We'd love for you all to come to one of these! They really are fun events and for a good cause! Plus, who doesn't need to run 3.1 miles. I know I sure do!
