C4C Fundraiser Update #6: The Results!!

Well, the big day has passed, my coccyx is on the way to healing (thanks huge waves!!) and I’ll get right to the point:

WE DID IT!!!
The final tally is an amazing 51177xcg!!!

It took a ton of work, tears, anxiety, and beer, but we achieved our goal, and we are one step closer to Punda getting a new, safe playground!! We want to extend a huge thank you to every single donor, large or small, corporate or individual…every guilder counts!! We could not have done this without your support.

I want to take one small moment to thank the one person who actually made this all happen; my beautiful wife, Stephanie. There were times during this whole thing when I wanted to quit, I was breaking down, and truly couldn’t do any more. Stephanie did her best to keep me sane (not possible) and on the right path. Honestly, without her, this wouldn’t have happened.

I also want to take some time to thank our Partners and Sponsors.

First, our Partners:

Otra Guide, PowerBoat Caribbean, Rotary club of Willemstad: None of this would have been possible without the help of these great people. The planning, logistics, photography, videography, marketing, and obviously, the amazing boat and crew, were are vital parts of this fundraiser. These folks helped with all of it. Huge thanks!!!

We also want to give a shout out to some other amazing people that helped us out:
AnnaBay Club, who provided not only a wonderful cash donation, but also the welcome drinks.
Presidente Beer, who graciously provided all of my personal hydration (beer!!!) for the epic journey.
InProd, who provided all the print media during the promotion phase and also at the afterparty.
Brgr.Haus, who provided the venue for stop #51… the after party, including delicious appetizers, and an amazing setting!!

And finally, all of our sponsors:
Thank you all very, very much for your generosity. These all all amazing local companies that deserve to be noted for their civic pride. Building a community takes community involvement.
