| look at that form! |
Thanks to all who participated in the dodgeball fundraiser, came as a spectator, helped with the event, and to South RAC who allowed us to use their amazing facility at no cost! This all would not have been possible without you all!!!! We raised just under $4500 for Lila's intensive physical therapy this upcoming summer. The support, love, and excitement, are/were overwhelming and humbling.

Lila and Nora were there all day running around with all of the kids. This was so great because a lot of the players from last year haven't seen her for a year. They were all very excited to see her improvements, growth, and confidence! She really is coming along quite well, with a ton of hard work :-)
We had two teams this year that were looking for dodgeball tournaments happening in Reno, and they found us! One of those ended up being a Mom of one of Lila's classmates (so random and funny), and the other was the UNR football team (hahaha)! Guess who won? Those guys were huge, competitive, yet very kind (off of the court). We were able to grab a few photos of them with Lila, and after that they said if there is anything else they can do for her, just let them know. Very nice of them, being that they had just met her!

Just like last year, we have learned a lot from this event and will change a few things for our next tournament. We have already spoken with the owner of South RAC and are scheduled for the last Saturday in March 2014! Put it on the calendar and start practicing :-) We may also have two different brackets, one for the serious players, and one for the novices. Another suggestion would be to have local food trucks there, following the event. So, we are working on a list of items that have been suggested to us, and would love to have any other feedback you all may have. The more efficient and entertaining we can make the event, the more we will be able to support Lila and her treatments and therapies.
