Mrs. Washington 2011 and Mrs. Pierce County Amy Evers
Inside the dining area surrounded by the amazing donated and decorated trees!
My personal favorite tree for two reason 1. It was the Queen of Hearts tree & 2. There were soldered ornaments on it!
Amy with our 25 balloons we had to sell!
The Christmas Forest is an annual event for the Providence St. Peter Foundation. The money raised is used to support the Providence mission of providing health care services for those in need. I was invited by Mrs. Pierce County Amy Evers to help out tonight. Amy is a ER nurse and knows first hand how much these funds are needed.
The gala is a fabulous event. It is a dinner and an auction. All of the trees around the room are auctioned off to the highest bidder. The trees are then deliver to their homes and set up for them. Some of the trees come with trips and other prizes too, pretty amazing stuff!
Before the auction got started our job was to sell 25 balloons at $50 each. Each balloon had a piece of paper in it and one of them was the lucky balloon that had the ticket for winning the prize of a $3,200 diamond necklace donated by Panowicz Jewelers. Amy was amazing!! She was great at approaching everyone to get them to buy a balloon, I was more her wingman! I am proud to say we sold all of our balloons!! There were 4 teams working the floor and we were the only ones to sell ALL of ours!! Was it our amazing sales skills or possibly our crowns and sashes... who knows!!
