Something truly remarkable happened after Samantha Christianasen’s and Sarah Kirschling’s months of busy hands and tireless feet prepared the Jim Gill Children’s Concert and Silent Auction fund raising events for sweet baby Gavin. An awe-inspiring $4001 enriched our precious little baby’s campaign. THEN – Mr. Gill decided that he wanted to donate 100% of his concert, book and CD sales, bringing baby Gavin’s new fund raising total for this musical extravaganza to $4,286.00. Thank you dearly Samantha, Sarah and Jim for your terrific love for sweet baby Gavin – like a warm coat in winter it keeps him snug as a bug in a rug.

Pavarotti noted, “music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto”. So too did the following generous Donators “startle our wonder” with their kind-hearted generosity:
