The Night at the Park raised more than $20,000!

You are incredible!

The Friends of Joe’s Night at the Park raised $22,000 for Joe!

There were over 1,100 attendees! (there were more, but we did not have everyone check in at the gate reliably, so we don’t know for sure how much more)

We raised over $5,000 at the silent auction!

We had more than 65 high school students how volunteered, and more than 150 total volunteers who set up the event!

You are wonderful!

THANK YOU for coming to the Night at the Park!

You were amazing! So many of you came and contributed to this phenomenal event! What an incredible turnout! We ran out of parking by the park early, and had to have a bunch of parking attendants directing cars to the other side of the park, on Main Street! We ran out of tickets and had to reuse already used tickets! We had over 150 volunteers!

We are still counting the money, and figuring out how many attendees we had – but it looks like we had more than 750 attendees, maybe much more. We will know more in a couple of days and will let you all know.

THANK YOU!

Today is Sep. 13 and it is a beautiful day!

The big day has arrived and it is BEAUTIFUL!

It is all so exciting:  the food is already at the concession, the tables are waiting, the tents are ready to be raised. There are close to 150 volunteers signed up if you include the generous Arrowhead High Schoolers (NHS and the boys’ soccer team signed up in great quantities!). I wish we had taken more pictures in the process to document how much work went into it, and from so many!

It will be a lovely day. Come to Pollworth Park! Bring your family. Bring your friends. Come and stay the evening with us and a bundle of warm clothes . We have plenty of food, warm and cold beverages, and even old-fashioned cotton candy! And the kids will have so much fun!
