Global Orphan Project's BIG Event



Johnny and I had the pleasure of attending The Global Orphan Project's BIG Event last night, a benefit dinner to raise money for the amazing work that this organization does to help forgotten children around the world.  It was so neat to hear stories and see pictures of the relationships they have been able to build with children who have otherwise been abandoned.  To see more about this organization, click here.



My old friends Rachel Beil and Erin Royston bought a table and invited us to come along.  I got to reconnect with some old friends and eat a lot of cheese cubes and baked potato skins.



And look who else we found!  Tate and Abby, the other crew marriage!  Johnny and I have been meaning to meet up with them since we moved here, but we totally forgot that Tate works for Global Orphan Project.  We only need one more person and our boat will be complete.  Perhaps Baby Hutson will row?

The Global Orphan Project was able to raise money to support over 400 kids last night, and Johnny and I are eager to learn more about not only what the organization is doing overseas but also what they're looking to do  at home as well.  I highly recommend looking them up.
