We raffled off more than 70 prizes and we picked winners from a pot of almost 3000 tickets. This was truly more than an event that would help me pay my very high, and accumulating, medical bills, it was one that also would fill me with gratitude for my life and the people in it.
Here’s a lovely video that beautifully captures the moments shared that evening:
At 4:00pm we were at Fiddler´s Irish Pub, cutting virtual tickets and unstapling the print versions. One by one we were putting them in the jar that would serve as our raffle jar … until we couldn´t get even one more ticket in. We had to run to Fiddler´s for help, searching for a pot big enough to hold all the tickets purchased by all the beautiful souls supporting me in my recovery. I could hardly believe it.
At 7:00pm people started arriving, enoying happy hour prices all night and taking selfies, tagging @findingthenorth for an extra opportunity to win a delicious wine from Viña Cremaschi Furlotti.
At 8:00pm, MJ Matthei, the super fun and entertaining host for the evening, got everyone´s attention and together we welcomed everyone, thanked them for coming, and began raffling the first set of prizes. Every half hour we raffled off another 13-15 prizes, seeing who would have a lucky streak that evening.
I tried to say hello and talk to everyone, but amongst the caos of the more than 100 people un a space designed for less, I am sure I missed a few and didn’t get to show attention to everone who graced me with their time.
It was incredible for me to see and feel so much support from so many people. I am so blessed.
It was very, very beautiful to see my friends, friends of friends, colleagues, fellow mountaineers, fellow climbers, gym team …. all of my worlds mixed in one single place, showing me their overflowing support in the hardest time of my life.
Here is a list of the winners, Iñve contacted them all and I’ll coordinate pick-ups through the end of august. At that time, I’ll do another random electronic raffle of all purchased numbers.
Thank you so much to everyone who participated!! Your support makes a bigger impact than you can imagine!!
