First ever Party for a Purpose Event!

This post should be prefaced by saying that we are very grateful for the generosity and compassion that everyone involved in our first ever Party for a Purpose event has shown.  WOW, truly wonderful to see everyone come together and rally behind a great cause for a night of fun!  You may even say the experience was SoRewarding J .

There was a certain excitement and buzz in the air at Indulge Bistro and Wine Bar on the evening of June 18^th and as people joined the party, that vibe only grew stronger.  The wine was flowing, the food was sizzling and friendly faces were in abundance!  That’s a winning combination and while I was sitting there eating my Caprese Kabob (vine-ripe grape tomato, fresh mozzarella and delicious basil), I thought to myself, why can’t we do this every-day?!

I snapped out of my day-dreaming mode when I heard the wonderful voice of Dianne from the Make-A-WishFoundation begin giving a toast for the evening.  It was beautiful to learn about Make-A-Wish and hear about how they’ve positively affected the lives of so many children with life-threatening illnesses. 

People wrote checks to Make-A-Wish, one was up to $500!!  Shortly after, SoRewarding was doing a raffle to select a $250 CASH prize winner for the evening!  Toni Bixler ended up being the luckiest of the bunch and winning the $250, but as I mentioned before, generosity and compassion was in the air and she donated $150 of her prize to Make-A-Wish!

All-in-all, it was a night to remember.  Even though I’m writing this with the hint of a hang-over, I know I partied for a purpose and made a difference and no matter how big that difference is, every little bit counts!

Thank you to everyone who came out, if you missed it, I hope to see you at the next one!

Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on how fortunate you are?

“I’m so blessed to have my health, a caring family, clean water to drink, a roof over my head.”

I know I’ve had these thoughts run through my mind countless times.  It feels great to appreciate all that we have and to take nothing for granted, but I’ve always felt like there is something more.  Something more, I realized, came in the form of wanting to turn these thoughts and feelings into action.

Helping the less fortunate, especially helping those that cannot help themselves became that action.  To make the biggest impact and to help the less fortunate the most, I need your help, your neighbors help, and that strangers help.  Each of us wants to give back and we are caring compassionate people but we don’t know how to give-back.

To bring together like-minded, worldly, caring, generous people and then expose them to a Non-Profit Organization became the mission of the RewardingCrew.  We are strong together.  Together we can make an impact that goes far beyond what we could be capable of on our own.

Please join us in turning our thoughts into action.  We are fortunate to have all that we do and for one night, we can help the less fortunate, who because of circumstances out of their control do not have many of the things we take for granted.

Party for a Purpose to benefit the Make-A-Wish® ColoradoFoundation – The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children who have life-threatening medical conditions.   The event night will include drinks, hors d'oeuvres, fellow philanthropists and representatives from the Make-A-Wish Foundation – all in the hopes of raising awareness and funds for Make-A-Wish.

To be a part of a night to remember and join us in coming together to raise money for the children of Colorado, please purchase your event voucher here at:  www.SoRewarding.com
