We are so very thankful for Gab~n~Dad (Gabrielle) and DJ Flash (Kevin Bosley) for bringing all the best music to our event! 🎤🎸🎶

Year after year, Gab~n~Dad generously donate their incredible musical talents to help make our events special. As if that wasn't enough, they always place a collection box out during their performance and then donate those proceeds back to Hope for Miracles. Talk about class acts! 🙏💛

And what can we say about DJ Flash? Kevin has been with us almost since the very beginning, generously donating his DJ services and helping create the perfect atmosphere for our events. His talent, dedication, and unwavering support mean so much to our organization and the families we serve. 🎧✨

My favorite part of the night? Watching them all come together and share the stage, creating some truly amazing music and unforgettable memories. 🎶🥹

Unfortunately, I only have a photo of Gab and Flash. If anyone happened to snap a picture of Gab~n~Dad, and DJ Flash all together, we'd love to see it! 📸 Please share it in the comments below! 👇

Thank you all for sharing your talents, your time, and your hearts with Hope for Miracles. You help make these events so much more than fundraisers—you help create memories, bring people together, and make miracles happen. 🎗️💛

We are so incredibly thankful for Brannoin, Brooke, and the entire team at Rainbow Banquet Hall! 🙏

Your support means more to us than words can express. We are so appreciative of how you consistently go above and beyond, how accommodating you are with our last-minute additions and changes, and how wholeheartedly you support the mission of Hope for Miracles.

One of the most touching moments of the evening was seeing members of your team come out and purchase shirts to support our cause. That simple act of kindness truly warmed our hearts and reminded us how fortunate we are to have such amazing community partners. 💛

The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food is incredible, and your entire staff is a pleasure to work with. Your generosity, professionalism, and dedication help make our events successful year after year.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us make a difference in the lives of children and families battling childhood cancer. 🎗️

​I wanted a photo of just the Hoedown Team, but when I asked, I was told, "You are part of the team!" 🥹

The truth is, they are the team.

They bring ideas to me, they run with them, they organize, they create, they problem-solve, and they somehow turn a vision into reality. They make things happen. Every single event, every detail, every success—it's because of this incredible group of people.

There would be no Hoedown. There would be no events at all if it weren't for them.

When I was at my wits' end and ready to throw in the towel, this team showed up. I truly believe God sent them exactly when they were needed most. 🙏💛 And just look at what they've accomplished...

191 guests.

Never before have we even come close to that number.

The photos of the room bring tears to my eyes. When everyone was seated, I quietly slipped upstairs to take it all in. Looking out over that room, filled with people supporting children and families battling childhood cancer, was a moment I'll never forget.

This team filled that room.

This team made that night possible.

This team is helping make miracles happen. 🎗️✨

To each and every one of you, please know how incredibly grateful I am. Your dedication, your generosity, your countless hours, and your belief in this mission mean more than words can ever express.

Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for caring.
Thank you for believing.
Thank you for making miracles happen. 🙏🎗️💛

And a special shout-out to Patty—I tried to tag you, but Facebook wouldn't let me! 😊

#HopeForMiracles #HoedownTeam #MakingMiraclesHappen #Gratitude #CommunityStrong #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ThankYou #HopeForChildren #TogetherWeCan 🎗️💛

Where do we even begin?

⏳ This incredible team generously donates their time at both our Hoedown and Under the Stars Gala events.

🎗️ They don't just volunteer—they also sponsor both events, helping us further our mission of supporting children and families battling childhood cancer.

💛 From the moment guests arrive, they are there with smiles, laughter, and helping hands. Whether it's handling check-in, running our auctions, selling raffle tickets, managing the 50/50, or stepping in wherever needed, they help keep everything running smoothly and take so much stress off our team.

And then, as if all of that wasn't enough...

💐 Shelby Engelhardt surprised me with the most beautiful flowers! 🌺

It was such a thoughtful gesture and a reminder of just how caring and generous this team truly is.

✨ Talk about going above and beyond.

We are beyond grateful for your partnership, your volunteerism, your sponsorship, and your friendship. Your support helps make these events successful and allows Hope for Miracles to continue making a difference for children and families facing childhood cancer.

🙏 Thank you, UFirst Federal Credit Union team, for all that you do. We appreciate each and every one of you more than words can say. 🎗️💛

Sending a heartfelt THANK YOU to Nancy Dow of Adirondack Kickin' with Nancy for once again bringing the party—and her amazing line dancing crew! 💃🕺🐄

We are already counting down the days until next year! 🤠👢💃🕺🐄🎉

#HopeForMiracles #AdirondackKickin #NancyDow #LineDancing #HoedownSuccess #CommunitySupport #MakingMiraclesHappen #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ThankYou #SeeYouNextYear 🎗️💛

We have so many people to thank, and over the coming days we will be sharing our appreciation for the many individuals, businesses, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who helped make this year's Hometown Hoedown such an incredible success.

But first, we wanted to share some exciting news...

💫 This year's Hoedown raised an amazing $15,619! 💫

This total includes the generous sponsorships that helped make the event possible, along with the support of everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, purchased raffle tickets, bid in auctions, and cheered us on along the way.

We are beyond grateful and humbled by the support of our community. Every dollar raised helps Hope for Miracles continue its mission of supporting children and families battling childhood cancer. 💛🎗️

A very special thank you goes out to our incredible sponsors:

⭐ CB Electric LLC
⭐ TruNorthern Federal Credit Union
⭐ Brennan Buick GMC
⭐ UFirst Federal Credit Union
⭐ Dominics' Hardware & Supply, Inc.
⭐ Ausable Dental Center
⭐ K & L Plumbing (Tami & Kevin Trombley)

🙏 Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us make a difference. Your generosity played a huge role in the success of this event and in bringing hope to families who need it most.

This is what community looks like. This is what happens when people come together for a cause bigger than themselves.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 💛

#HopeForMiracles #HometownHoedown #ThankYouSponsors #CommunityStrong #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #MakingMiraclesHappen #SupportLocal #HopeForChildren #TogetherWeCan 🎗️💛

Sometimes generosity comes in the form of a surprise. 🥹🙏

I held the check you see in this picture and didn't even bother to look at the amount. You see, Cliff from CB Electric had already sent a $500 sponsorship check, so I simply assumed that's what this one was too.

It wasn't until the day after the event that I realized this check was for an additional $1,000 sponsorship.

Suddenly it hit me—CB Electric had become our largest sponsor for the event, and they weren't even recognized as such because we had no idea!

When I asked Cliff why he hadn't told us, his response was simple:

✨ "I wanted it to be a surprise." ✨

And what a surprise it was.

We were absolutely blown away by this incredible act of generosity and support. The fact that Cliff wasn't looking for recognition makes the gift even more meaningful. It came straight from the heart.

Even though you weren't concerned about being acknowledged, we believe your generosity deserves to be celebrated.

🙏 Thank you, Cliff and CB Electric, for your support, your kindness, and for helping us continue our mission of supporting children and families battling childhood cancer.

You are helping make miracles happen, and we are so incredibly thankful. 🎗️💛🤠👢
