Grandpa Bob's Birthday Goal

I met with Auntie Isabelle this week to share mom's idea - and she absolutely loved it!  Not only the name that Nelson suggested (please vote on the side if you have a preference), but the long term granting theme of health and wellness.

I told her that while people can make donations at any time throughout the year, we will endeavor to make the months leading up to Grandpa's birthday our biggest drive months.  Further, I told her that I thought that our goal this year should be $1,000.  We made it to $780 last year - and this year we're getting far more organized! That's when Isabelle stopped me.  She was getting excited about the fund, and what it could mean for the community and our family as whole - she exclaimed that $1,000 is too easy!  Too easy?!

She challenged us to set the goal to $5,000!

So, what do you think?  Do we dare challenge ourselves this way - can we make it to $5,000?  How far reaching is our family and our network of family friends?  I say we take her challenge and take it as far as we can!
