First off, is this not the coolest logo you’ve ever seen!!! Of course I’m partial, but Jeremy is also a genius, so it’s a great combo :)! And, the little “11” is in memory of the number of days we had to love and kiss and hug our precious gift, Paxon. We’re fighting this year for him too. Our two boys have been stricken with this terrible, life shortening, life stealing disease. This has GOT to stop. We are NOT backing down.
So, it’s time. It’s time to start promoting and getting excited about this years Silent Auction. I have to warn you up front, the gloves are off for Jeremy and me, and we’re not taking any prisoners. Our drive and our need for this cure is even greater this year. So look out because we’re feisty about this cure :).
Please consider joining us as we fight for our boys. SATURDAY, APRIL 2ND FROM 4:00-6:00P. The Commons. Redemption Church (1820 West Elliot Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85233).

Very creative with the logo, Jeremy, and what a great list of items to bid on. You guys are doing a super job. The generosity is amazing once again.
Your auction is like an altar that we all revisit with you each year – where you looked at this trial you faced and decided to beat it down with good. Let’s all help you raise a gob of money and give a big shout out to your work to find a cure. I love this this post with your great log and all your big tenancious spirit. You guys go.
Wow! Jeremy was telling me about all the work you do for this auction Rachel… wow!! I think I’m going to make it my personal mission to pray you get some SLEEP!!! luv u!
I love the video! May the auction bring in tons of money so that the cure will be in sight!
Dear Rachel,
Southwest Sod would like to donate one pallet of sod to the
Silent Auction being held for teamASHER.
I’m in the process of securing the certificate to be displayed at the auction that the buyer would redeem for their pallet of turf.
I’ll be in touch! May God most graciously bless this event,
your family and all of those enduring CF.
Sincerely,
Diana Smith
