We are getting close folks!! Gonna be awesome!! Lit tables......like the lost and found at the free for all LFS.lol

Many new LE submissions being set up for grabs so check that out. We have also added many new raffle items to the table and it is becoming fully stocked. One special item we have added is the story of young Lillyana that is being told all over the fish community to the table. We will be donating 100% of the proceeds given here for this item to her her family and their cause. Here is her link on R2R

Here is the posting update made to the raffle item thread in her name.

We over here in the CRC are constantly on the search for ways to not only better ourselves within the hobby, but make the world a better place as a whole. It has become our motive for the year to change the way we think, and do all we can do in giving back and in playing our part as a club to do our part.

We wanted to associate this within our swap by helping someone in need, and have found someone that needs help. Here is her story - prepare your heart as it is a hard one to take in for such a small child to have to wear such a large burden.

On February 25, 2014, 20 month old Lillyana Worthington was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Any parent can imagine the shock and horror of hearing “your baby has cancer.” Fortunately for Lillyana, ALL has a 90% cure rate. However, to achieve this cure she will have to go through two years of intensive chemotherapy in Orlando. Lillyana’s daddy is a professional Palm Bay combat Firefighter and is a member of union Local 2446 . Her mommy has had to stop working in order to care for her, reducing the family to a single income.

We are trying to raise money to ease the financial burdens associated with frequent travel, medical expenses, and the loss of half of their family income. Lillyana’s parents should be focusing on her and her treatment and not the financial hardship a diagnosis of cancer entails. Any money raised will go towards costs associated with Lillyana’s diagnosis. Please donate, every little bit helps!

"Arrangements have been made for all funds to directly to the Worthington Family"

How can we help - Well the CRC is making a donation to this cause up front in the name of the club and felt it needed to be taken a bit further.

There for we will be putting this story for Lillyana amongst the prizes to be found among our raffle table for the swap. She will have the same option as the rest of the prizes on the table in allowing anyone to donate a ticket or 20 into this prizes ticket box(The prize won here will be helping in allowing a baby girl the chance to live a full happy and healthy life). Which trumps anything on the table.lol

We will than take the accumilated tickets dropped for this prize and donate 100% of the proceeds from the purchases of these tickets to her, her cause, and her family on top of the already set donation from the CRC.

I am in search of something to offer as a drawn prize for this to help feed the fire even more - tho the set prize as is I think is one of the greatest things you can take away from a raffle(so if you have any ideas or something to bring to the table let me know). I will continue to search for something, but it will go forward either way.

If you would like to donate on your own here is a direct link to her go fund me page

We want to say thank you to all that join us for our event, and a huge thank you to anyone that helps show the reefing community is one of the greatest out there and in helping us with the fight against cancer and assistance in the efforts of saving a young childs life.

Sincerely
Drew
