We Are Making a Difference!!!

By Debbie Dispense, Director of Fund Raising

It is so exciting as we get closer to our annual fundraiser.  It’s an incredible amount of work, a tremendous amount of phone calls - and, sometimes, just a lot of patience!  However, this year, it will be an amazing night as you can see from the list of celebrities, entertainment, and the exciting new location at Belmar Center.

We realize that you have numerous requests for your hard earned dollars.  We also know that this one night is a major portion of the money we raise each year.  Please try and attend this special night.  We have kept the individual ticket price the same AND still provided you with something different, electrifying, and new!

Check out some of the items already in for this year’s auction:

  • Two Frontier Airlines round-trip tickets
  • Yamaha Vino 49 cc 4 stroke scooter (from Excel Yamaha)
  • John Elway autographed football
  • Three course dinner catered by chef David Strauss
  • Jewelry from Jay Feder Jewelers
  • 4 nights in Steamboat Springs condominium
  • A night for two at the Hotel Monaco (downtown Denver)
  • Gift baskets galore
  • And much, much more!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you . . . for believing in us and supporting our moms and babies.

We believe in supporting those businesses that support Bridgeway.  By holding an event at your business, you benefit and so does Bridgeway.  Call Debbie Dispense, Director of Fundraising, today at (303) 969-0515 extension 15 and let’s see what we can do to make a difference for you and for our moms and babies!

Bridgeway's Fundraiser is Almost Here
and WE NEED YOU!

By Judy Cozzens, Bridgeway Fundraiser Co-Chairperson

Heading a fundraising committee can be time consuming and hard, but it is worth it.  Through Bridgeway, Terry Hill (my co-chair) and I get to meet the babies and their mothers.  We learn how their lives are turned around because someone believed in them.  What better reason do we need to go begging for your help?  Terry and I cannot do this alone.  Even our great committee is not enough.  We need you to make this event a success.

Bridgeway builds new lives for pregnant teens and spends every penny you donate efficiently.  Terry and I are constantly amazed at what this fine organization does with so little.  After last year’s event, we knew we needed a new and larger place to have our auction/dinner, but we could not see spending the money our girls need to build new lives.  Fortunately, Statewide Wholesale, Inc. Roofing Materials has agreed to underwrite the cost of holding our event at the new and beautiful Belmar Event Center.  So here we are, ready to try and fill a new larger location and make a difference.

For these reasons, we are pleading with you to come to our fundraiser this year.  We are very aware that you have many choices for your allocated donation dollars.  We have tried to provide you with a fun evening without an increase in cost from previous years.  Individual tickets are $100.  Sponsorship table packages are still available at $1500 and $3000.  Please call our office for details.

You don’t want to miss Molly Hughes, our Honorary Chairperson and Emmy award winning anchor with Denver CBS4-KCNC-TV; Jo Myers and Murphy Huston, popular broadcasters with KOSI-FM 101.1, who will once again serve as our Mistress and Master of Ceremonies; Gary Corbett, Auctioneer Extraordinaire; and round out the evening with entertainment by Chris Daniels and the Kings.  Predinner entertainment will be provided by the Linda Vista String Quartet.

Call the Bridgeway offices at (303) 969-0515 if you need additional information or if you have not received an invitation!  The deadline for all reservations is February 1, 2006.
