We are gearing up for a HUGE few months! Not only are we in the process of hiring a Director to run Gio’s Garden as well as a Respite Care Coordinator to plan programs and handle families and children and volunteers, we are also planning fundraisers!
The first will be on April 14th – it is a Walk/Run that starts and ends at Edgewood College. A student there is planning the entire event and is getting help from Occupational Therapy students at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Mark your calendars and watch for updates here, on Facebook, Twitter and via our email blasts – you can sign up by clicking this link!
The biggest fundraiser of the year is our 3rd Annual Rock for Respite! It will again take place at The Brink in downtown Madison and will feature Kings of Radio, Piano Fondue as well as a silent auction, food and drink and other surprises. Make sure to block off June 8th for this years’ Rock for Respite! Tickets are $40 per person. If you would like to sponsor or see all the sponsorship opportunities for this event or donate auction items, please contact Charlotte at charlotte@giosgarden.org.
If you’re a golfer…or even if you aren’t, the 3rd Annual Gio’s Garden Classic is a great time. As you can see from the pictures on our “About Us” page, everyone has fun! This year, it will again be at The Oaks in Cottage Grove and will take place July 19th. We are planning a few surprises for the course and, new this year…celebrity golfers! You can pay to golf all 18 with some big names from around the Dane County area. More on that to come! Foursomes are $500 or $125 per player. Hole sponsorships are $250. If you would like to hear about other sponsorship opportunities for this event or donate to the silent auction, please contact me at ron@giosgarden.org.
Thanks for all the support!
