You guys did an awesome job and set a great example!
Special thanks to the many volunteers that made the extra effort and spent their valuable time helping to support the cause. We couldn't have done any of this without your help!
Finally, we want to thank the folks at Racer Productions, especially Jen Kenyon, for making this all possible! Jen went beyond the call of duty for this, sacrificing sleep, food and sanity to help us carry out this event with less than 3 weeks of planning! Also, to the amazing GNCC Event Crew for helping to set up things up at the venue, to "Hollywood" for "selling it", the registration girls for donning their purple in style, and to Rodney Tomblin for taking on the mission and helping to spread the word with exceptional announcing!
You're all amazing and we want you all to know how much we truly appreciate you supporting us in our cause to make sure that one day all babies will be born healthy!
Cheers,
Shane and Carrie Watts
