We send a huge “Thank You” to all who worked so hard this past Saturday ... our Valley Home Community Park looks amazing! Dennis McCutcheon, Don Taro, Bryan Martin, Bryce Martin, Cody Bartholomew and Cooper Bartholomew worked tirelessly to make our park beautiful for this Saturday. Our sweet Bonnie must surely be smiling in Heaven!
This Saturday, July 31 will be a very special evening in Valley Home! Our Valley Home School and our Valley Home Community will pay tribute to our “Beautiful Bonnie”, and “All Who Fight Cancer”. We invite each of you to join us for this very special evening.
Activities will start at 4 p.m. with water games in the park. At 5 p.m., activities will begin at our Valley Home School. We will be walking laps to honor our sweet Bonnie and all who fight! The first lap will begin at 5 p.m.; you are invited to wear a fun costume during the first lap and there will be a very special balloon release during this hour.
Each hour has a different theme; however, please feel free to walk laps or just come relax and enjoy a delicious dinner while visiting with old friends. Together we will raise money to fight this horrible disease. We will honor all who fight!
For anyone wishing to make a donation, please make any donation out to “The American Cancer Society, Team Bonnie” or donation of your choice to The American Cancer Society.” Together we can make a difference!
We will be walking laps until midnight. During the evening there will be many special activities: Beautiful feathers for your hair by TJ; we all know how much Bonnie loved wearing feathers in her hair!
