A Seahorse Dream!

This past Friday I volunteered with some ladies to help at the Seahorse Dream Gala to raise money for the new Golisano Children's Hospital in Fort Myers. Justin, Jaclyn's boyfriend works for the Lee Memorial Hospital for the Foundation and asked us to help out. Throughout the night we greeted, registered guests and were runners at the auction.

At the end of the night we purchased these little baby 7" sea horses :)

                                   

      

                                    

                                   

These are the 5 foot seahorses that went for auction, anywhere between $500-$10000, it was an awesome fundraiser and in total I believe over $100,000 was raised between the live and silent auctions.

                                             

The sea horse corridor :)

                                             

                                                 

Glitterrrrr!!!!

                                                 

                                                 

So in total there were 40, 5 foot seahorses. Each sea horse had a sponsor. And if that sponsor raised or donated $5000 they got to keep the statue. If not, it was auctioned.

The mermaid was naturally my favorite.

                                                 

This one was completely made out of shells found on Sanibel/Captiva Island

                                                 

                                                 

So many people came out to support the new children's hospital, it was truly amazing to see all of the hard work that has been done. I'm so excited to see the progress of the hospital!
