Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and helped make Christmas for Lorie so meaningful. It was nice to slow down and spend time with so many wonderful people. Having family, friend, neighbors and the community come out to celebrate Christmas and Lorie's Legacy was not short of amazing!

We can't thank everyone enough for your caring, love, compassion and prayers over the last year. What is a very difficult time in our lives has been softened by your love and prayers. Without our faith in God and all of you, I'm not sure we would have been able to celebrate how incredibly loving and caring Lorie was and is still today. It definitely was not by chance the rainbow appeared when it did and over our house during the event.

With all that being said, together we raised over $2,500 for local organizations:

  • Ovar'coming Together (Ovarian Cancer)
  • Susan G. Komen (Breast Cancer) in honor of Janae Swan
  • COTA for Team Max (Max's Kidney Transplant Journey, he helped organize the group of carolers during last year's event)
  • Toppin Family Foundation (Youth Empowerment)
  • International Disaster Emergency Services - IDES (Local Flood Relief, Operated out of Noblesville)

Thank you to Silly Safaris for the great picture!
