I can count the days to Relay on my fingers

Wow, TEN DAYS! I know I can't believe it!! We are up past $13,700!
Our committee meeting Sunday night was great. Everyone seems to be on target and stepping up their game in this crucial time. Our largest challenge remains persuading stores to donate food to our event. Wish us luck!

Things are going very well as far as planning goes. We have a lighting test scheduled for tonight, and we are meeting with PhilaU staff to walk through the Gallagher center and discuss all of the facilities on Friday. One of our challenges in starting a new event is getting everyone on the same page and understanding the goals and ideas of the event. Next year should be much easier!
That aside, I am very excited about the musicians and activities we have planned for throughout the night, and we hope you are too!
You should definitely checkout their music online!
