Bittersweet News

I am going to start this post by saying that Tim and I are overwhelmed by all of your support and generosity. Unfortunately, I just got a call from one of the team members for Max's benefit saying that we are at our maximum capacity for the gym. We were told by our contact person at Bishop Brossart High School that we have to stop all sales of presale tickets and unfortunately we will have to turn away anyone that comes to the door the night of the event that hasn't already purchased a ticket. The reasoning behind this is plain and simple, it's just not safe to pack anymore guests into the gym and cafeteria.

2 months ago we would have never guessed that one little boy would draw so much attention. Obviously, or else we would have booked a much bigger hall :o) It is so hard for us to have to turn guests away, but please know that we appreciate all of you for what you want to do for Max. He is obviously very special, not only to his family, but also to our local and distant communities as well. We thank you all for that!

Again, we are deeply sorry that this bittersweet problem has occurred, but for the safety of the guests, we must put this into action. If you know of anyone who was planning on attending Max's benefit that has not yet purchased a ticket, please let them know that it is sold out. It is so bittersweet for us. We are so happy that 750+ people are going to be coming to celebrate Max and to help us, but it is so sad that some of those people will not get that chance.

God Bless all of you for your continued love, support, and generosity for the little miracle that most of you have never met. We greatly appreciate each and every one of you.
