2019 Spaghetti Western Dinner

We just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for another successful year raising money and awareness for the Vasculitis Foundation. It’s the volunteers, the donors, and the folks who show up for the fun night that make it all a success. We’re so grateful.

A whole lot of people come together and help make our Spaghetti Western Dinner happen, and “thank you” never seems like enough to convey our deep appreciation.

Our family has directly felt the impact of the work of the Vasculitis Foundation…but everyone else, simply jumps in and helps out of the kindness of their hearts.

Before our first Spaghetti Western in 2016, I suggested a 5K Run to fundraise. Keith’s reply: “I don’t like to run, but I do like parties… let’s have a party!” 

Each year sure does seem to come and go quicker than the last. It’s hard to believe we’re wrapping this fundraiser up for the 4th time. God really does take what we give and multiply it to become more than we could’ve imagined.

Over these few years, the Spaghetti Western Dinner has become the single largest private fundraising event for the Vasculitis Foundation. It has helped to fund increased research, online resources, events that connect patients with doctors and researchers, and more!

Supporting this organization is a way for us to give back after the VF played a big role in helping to save Keith’s life in 2011. We’re grateful for their work, and we know that every day on this earth is a gift.

What if the money we raise could give one other person a story like Keith’s? That’s why we do it.

Next year’s event is just around the corner…and hope you’ll join us on May 16, 2020!

 

 

As always, we are so lucky to have the talented Kaylie Wallin Photo documenting the evening.
