That's right folks!!! It's that time of the year again.  We are back with the third annual FEBRUARY FUN FEST. Most of you already know, this is not your average party folks.. this is not a boring ice cream social, or your lame family reunion, or uncle Sam's wedding at the Holiday Inn banquet room, this is the FUN FEST!!

Over the last two years we raised over $9,000 for some amazing charities, including Cancer Research Institute, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, YWCA of Union County, and Chron's and Colitis Foundation! We did this all while enjoying the open bar, some good music, and some great games and top notch raffles baskets. 

Last year's fundraising goal was $4,000. and we did well over $5,000 and knocked it out of the park! Through our family and friends and hitting the streets for donations, we had over $2,000 in value of raffle baskets last year!

THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING TO GO BIGGER AND BETTER! 
We promise to do our part in raising the quality of the event! And while we are at it, let's raise the ante and set the bar at $5,000 in total donations. More to come on the 3 choice charities for this year's event. 

So we expect everyone to bring their A game, as I mentioned this party is about FUN, and GIVING, so if you can't handle that, it's not for YOU. Feel free to bring a couple friends or family members this year and lets make our event even bigger! Enough rambling details below:
