“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”…Mitch Albom

The wonderful community of Darlington have lovingly devoted themselves to helping our sweet baby Gavin. On Saturday March 3rd, they continued their devotion by holding a special benefit in his honor.

Due to the generosity of these incredible people, the benefit raised an amazing $15,000 for Gavin’s fund. Between this benefit and collection canisters in the area, the devoted citizens of Darlington have raised close to $20,000 to help give our darling baby a second chance at life.

There are some special thank yous to extend to those involved with Gavin’s Darlington benefit:

A very special thank you to Jay’s parents, Nancy and Dean Winslow, and the entire Winslow family for planning the benefit.

Another special thank you goes to Ranch House Lanes for hosting the event.

Many thanks to the Wiegel family and friends for donations and contributions.

We are so thankful to everyone who donated an item, volunteered, provided entertainment, purchased an item, came to the event, and supported Gavin. The event was perfect and exceeded our wildest expectations.

As always, we are endlessly grateful to the special Darlington community for their prayers, donations, and support for Gavin and his family. There are no words to express our appreciation for your continued love and devotion to Gavin.
