ABC#181, for Seedling Theatre, 9-9-23

 

ABC#181 on September 9 was another success with $1080 donated to Seedling Theatre thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, including:
(a) Laurel & Larry Schumacher for being awesome hosts at their home and for providing several door prizes.
(b) 30 participants plus four other donors.
(c) Betty Brandt, for getting the Thrivent sponsorship covering the t-shirts and much of the food and drink. Betty also provided the cool Lake Superior “ABC 2023” painted stones.
(d) Donna Anhalt for donating tickets to an upcoming performance for our drawing.
(e) Everyone who brought food! I don’t recall all of the food, but Lisa Sparks made the coffee cake, Stacy Sheridan made the casserole & banana cake, Laukrel Schumacher prepared the biscuits & gravy. Other food contributors included Dawn Dieckgrafe, Felicia Harrison, Jane Camp, Paulette Coco, Jeanne Gleason, and Liz Johnson.


Seedling Theatre is a wonderful theatrical program for children & young adults & adults with disabilities, as well as their able-bodied peers. We have completed fourteen ABC runs for Seedling, generating total donations of $20,005. ABC runs have helped them to purchase sound equipment, pay copyright fees, give small honorariums to staff, and much more.


Thanks again for supporting Seedling Theatre at this run and your support for so many ABC runs. The total contributions to all 181 ABC runs is now $218,432!

Thanks so much to everyone for your heartwarming support and thanks to Lisa & Jay Sparks for doing a great job hosting at their home.   At 8:30, Lisa thanked everyone and told us about the program and that the new name of the program is Brighten-A-Family and that Children’s Home & Aid is now Brightpoint.   After a group picture (thanks to Mike Laffey for taking photos), we headed out for a run/walk on the trail.
