Good afternoon, friends and family. We hope you are all doing well. Quick update for you from Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation….
Although our precious Oakes passed on to heaven almost 16 months ago, his legacy lives on bigger and better than ever here on Earth. Our biggest fundraiser of the year is quickly approaching. Yes, it is that time….Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation’s 2013 Heart Gala – dinner, auction, party! Saturday night, November 16th (this is TWO Saturdays before Thanksgiving) in St. Louis at historic Chase Park Plaza held in the elegant, rooftop Starlight Room. It will be an amazing night full of auctions, food, drinks, stories and a band to cap the evening. I have included details of the evening below. Ticket sales are OPEN.
