My Dad's Legacy

Week 8 By Geoff Weathersby

Howdy all,

As expected, this was a fantastic week for the fund. We have raised a total of $14,387 from 413 donors to date, which is up an astounding $2,068 from last week. I'm speechless.

We still have four days until the fund on RocketHub expires and I can only imagine how much growth we will see in that short period of time. My family and I sincerely thank you for your support.

Here are the latest pictures! The first is of the bulletin board giving tree and the second is of the "October Glory" maple tree. Feast your eyes on their splendor.
