Dance Marathon

Finding Blessings in Uncertain Times

by Mrs. Toni Wallace

Unfortunately, due to the social distancing requirements with Covid 19, we were unable to have our annual Dance Marathon fundraiser for Riley Hospital for Children. Tentatively, we have rescheduled it for the fall once social distancing mandates have been lifted. An additional backup date of May 2021 has been set if the guidelines continue through the end of 2020.

Although our seniors and committee members were saddened by the postponement, it made us realize how fortunate we are during this chaotic time. No one ever plans for things to happen, much like our Riley families. One day everything is going as planned and the next, everything is turned upside down. Being part of the Riley experience has allowed us to hear and see the struggles our families encounter. Through their testimony, we search for hope and find blessings in the smallest gestures.

Your continued support, prayers and contributions are part of this appreciation and gratitude. Moving forward, we will continue to accept donations and auction items to help make this 10th Anniversary a true celebration of serving and paying it forward.

If you have any fundraising ideas or would like to be a part of our extended Dance Marathon, please contact Toni Wallace at twallace@evdio.org. Again, thank you for the love, support and prayers these last ten years.
