No One Fights Alone

A good family friend, Jeff Holdsworth, was diagnosed with cancer that has spread horribly.  He is an Omaha Firefighter and his son plays on Danny's baseball team.  A fundraiser was held to help raise money for the medical costs and for his wonderful wife, Cassie, and their 4 beautiful children, Jacob, Paige, Ryan, and Drew.  

Here is a link to a story the Jacksonville Jaguars & Memories for Children did about Jeff.  

Some photos from the fundraiser.  Alli enjoyed seeing the firetruck and ambulance...

...and then fell asleep with Aunt Kayla.

Julie & Todd won in the raffle.

Zach (aka we found Waldo) volunteered at the fundraiser.

Todd, one of Wolf's former football coaches, Tom, and Wolf.

The emcee called on everyone in the hall to raise enough money at one point and said all the police officers in the room would have their faces painted like kittens if they met the goal.  Bill Woodward, Tom Flynn, Andy Woodward, Danny Flynn, Cassie & Jeff Holdsworth.

Get out those cat claws!

Dad is so proud!

The sweater vest!  Jeff Holdsworth wore this Osh Kosh B'Gosh sweater vest to Tom's wedding.  It was one of the big winners in the silent auction.  The Flynn Family wasn't letting this one go!  Pat, wearing the now-autographed sweater vest, and Dad.

More fundraising if Pat would shave his head.

Now that is a free haircut!

Of course, none of this is possible without all the wonderful volunteers.  Beth, Michelle Desler, and Jen.
