Please let local companies and affiliates know we are currently soliciting sponsorship commitments for our April 30 Island Dreams event at the Spirit of Washington Event Center.

It’s time to launch preparations for “Island Dreams”, our Dinner Auction for 2010. Here’s a reminder of how much fun we all had. We’re looking forward to seeing old and new faces this coming year!

 

Stay tuned for the details but we can now confirm that next year’s Little Miracles Auction, benefitting  Children’s Miracle Network and Seattle Children’s Hospital will be held Friday, April 30, 2010. This year, in order to accomodate a larger and more geographically diverse audience we will hold our Dinner/Auction at the Spirit of Washington Event Center in Renton.

Over the last three years thanks to the hard work of our Auction Committee and the generosity of Sponsors, Donors and Guests, we have raised close to $200,000 for local families who rely on the services and quality Medical Professionals at Seattle Children’s Hospital . Each year, a large part of our proceeds  is earmarked for Pediatric Brain Tumor research. Brain tumors are the leading cause of Cancer death in children every year and researchers have identified this as the one area of pediatric research that is likely to have the greatest immediate impact in the field of pediatric medicine.

We hope you will check back for more details and information. If you’d like to donate or attend, please send us an email or call 425.432.4414.

Once again the friendly Doctors and staff at Lake Wilderness Veterinary Clinic have decided to show their support for Seattle Children’s Hospital and Pediatric Brain Tumor Research by pledging to be a Gold Sponsor for “Bella Notte”!

Last year Wilderness Veterinary Clinic provided free vet services for “Hope” our 8 week old black lab puppy donated by Gordon Chubb of Eastern Washington. Not only did they help keep Hope healthy prior to the auction, but they were the high bidder for Hope and took her home that night!

Several of us had the opportunity to attend the Clinic’s open house last year and were impressed with their state of the art facility.

Wilderness Veterinary Clinic is the epitome of caring & competence. We so appreciate their and willingness to make a difference for children in our community.

We are all feeling the pinch of the current economic downturn. The real estate industry has obviously taken a big hit, and those of us who earn our living from it have not remain unscathed. To be honest, we actually considered not holding the Little Miracles auction this year. We wanted to be sensitive to tightened spending on everyone’s part. However after a marathon meeting,much reflection and constructive debate, one fact could not be ignored.

The need remains as great as ever!

This year, Seattle Children’s Hospital will have parents unable to pay for their child’s treatment. There will be families who will rely on the cumulative funds raised at individual events like ours to offset or fully fund their child’s care. This year Seattle Children’s hospital expects to fund one hundred million dollars in uncompensated care.

How can we not try?

We hope you will join us; either through a donation of your product/service, or by attending our Dinner Auction April 24.  We don’t have dreams of grandeur, just the passion to take action and the knowledge that any amount raised will help make a difference in the life of a child.

Last year the Little Miracles Auction Committee decided to incorporate into our annual event, the recognition of someone in our Community who makes a difference in the life of a sick or disabled child. We all know there are many heroes among us who work diligently on behalf of one or more children.

Last year Ken Eide, a Special Education teacher at Shadow Lake Elementary was presented with the first annual “Miracle Maker” award. Mr. Eide was recognized for his ongoing dedication to some of the most profoundly disabled children in Maple Valley. He was long overdue for recognition! A teacher who goes above & beyond with his care & nurturing of not only his students but their families, it was our honor to bestow upon Ken, along with an eloquently delivered introduction by Ty Tomlinson and a special appearance by Miss Peyton Tomlinson (one of Ken’s students) the 2008 Miracle Maker of the year award.

We welcome your nominations for the 2009 Miracle Maker of the Year award. Please either email or comment on this post.
