Lil' Buckaroo BBQ Dinner & Silent Auction

 We are one of 3 families that are hosting this benefit dinner to help raise money for our adoptions through tickets sold for a BBQ dinner and with a silent auction. We are still working out all the details but are hoping to make this event not just about raising money to bring our children home, but also raising awareness to the orphan crisis.

The plan for the night is that we will start at 5pm with dinner and silent auction to go on throughout the night.  In addition to the dinner and silent auction, there will be music, door prizes, some guest speakers, videos, and more!  Of course, the theme is cowboys/cowgirls so we encourage everyone to dress accordingly although it is not required.  It will be fun for the whole family and kids 3 and under can eat free!

You can buy tickets directly on our blogs through the PayPal link posted off to the side or just email one of us or post on our blogs and we will see that you get your tickets.  $15.00 for adults, $5.00 for children over 3, and 3 and under eat free.


If you have anything you would like to donate to our auction or have any ideas for us, we would love to know and will be more than happy to include it in.

Here is a little bit about the other families this benefit will help support.

The Brown Family
  Christy & Tyson have 2 boys Winston & Wyatt and have just mailed off their application to adopt a little girl from Ghana.  We met this couple when we first moved to Ada.  They are such a great family.  Winston & Rylan are in the same class at school and have become good buds.  We can't wait to meet the sweet little girl God has picked out for them.  Follow their journey on All You Need Is Love.

The O'Neal Family 
Joely & Jason O'Neal have a two year old boy, Jalen; and they are adopting a boy or girl under the age of 2 from Ethiopia.  They are waiting on a few last documents to get finalized and will have their dossier in the mail this week!  I met them at the first It's A Child's Life meeting.  We are happy to know them and have the opportunity to be a part of their adoption journey.  You can read about their story on Expecting from Ethiopia.
Hope to see you there!
